About SODP Media
A specialist partner for digital publishers, built for how search works now.
Built for publishers, by publishers.
SODP Media is a growth partner for digital publishers, and a sister company of State of Digital Publishing, the publication and community for media professionals.
We work with publishers globally, across English-language and non-English markets, spanning news, lifestyle, sports, finance, niche verticals and more. Our clients operate in every major region, and our methodology is built to travel across languages and markets, not just English-speaking audiences.
We were founded on a simple belief: publishers need partners who understand publishing, not generalists applying the same playbook to every industry.
Our origin
Sister company of State of Digital Publishing
State of Digital Publishing is a leading media industry publication read by 25,000+ professionals monthly. SODP Media was built to put that expertise directly to work for publishers.
Built for the new search landscape
Search has changed faster in the last two years than in the decade before it. Audiences now discover content across Google, AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity. We built our methodology and our proprietary Discover audit platform specifically for this shift, so the publishers we work with stay visible wherever their readers are.
