Stacker

Stacker is a content syndication platform that sits between brands and newsrooms: brand teams submit editorial-style stories that pass Stacker's editorial standards, and Stacker distributes them at no cost to 3,000+ vetted news publishers, where they run as native editorial. Brands get earned coverage and the credibility signals that increasingly drive AI-search visibility (an independent study found Stacker-distributed content is cited 2.4x more often by AI engines than brand-owned content); publishers get free, beat-relevant editorial that lightens their newsroom load. The team describes itself as journalists, technologists, and operators, with stated values around publisher-first thinking, ROI orientation, and an owner's mindset. Founded in 2017, customers include brands like Range and Way.com and publishers like Gray Media.
