👋🏻 Thanks for your interest in working together.
I love what I do, and I am always excited for another opportunity to share my knowledge and viewpoints with others. 🌺

Sponsor [ret]2read
[ret]2read goes out monthly to all sides of security: the people who take software apart to understand it (reverse engineers and vulnerability researchers), and the people who build and defend it (security, detection and product engineers). Each issue has room for one sponsor.
Audience numbers, reader roles and rates are in the media kit, which I send on request.
One issue
Your text near the top of one monthly issue, labeled “Sponsor.” Good for a launch, a release or a hiring push.
A quarter
Three issues in a row, plus one mention on LinkedIn and X.
How it works
- Pick a month. Issues go out in the first week of the month, on Wednesday.
- Reach out to me for the slot style PDF, pick a style, then send your text: a title, up to about 75 words and one link.
- I’ll let you know it’s good to go, or what to adjust.
- It runs near the top of the issue as written, labeled “Sponsor.”
- About 30 days later, I send you clicks on your link.
To keep [ret]2read independent, sponsors don’t preview or shape any other content. Your slot appears in your issue only.
Good fits
Tools, training, conferences and teams that [ret]2read readers would use, attend or want to join: binary analysis and RE tooling, endpoint and macOS security, threat intel, security training and hiring.
Book an Issue
Email media[@]oliviagallucci.com or book a video chat. Include your company, which month(s) you want and a draft of your text, and ask for the slot style PDF if you’d like to see the three looks. I reply with availability and the media kit.

How to Invite Me
Email media[@]oliviagallucci.com or book a video chat. It helps a lot if you include:
- The event, date, and location (or that it’s remote)
- The format and length you have in mind
- Who will be in the audience
- Whether it will be recorded or streamed
- What travel and lodging you cover
Every speaking engagement has to be approved by me and my employer, so the more notice, the better.
Media Guidelines
I have some guidelines for accepting media appearances and any kind of promotion for an event, including retweets. I made this so that folks know what they are getting into when they request I work on media with them. These are generalized rules, and there are always exceptions.
Podcasting and interviews
Before the recording, a list of questions should be sent to me. I need these, so that I can send them to my employer(s) to approve.
After the recording, the finalized recording should be sent to me, so that I can ensure everything falls in line with my employer(s); please note that requests for content changes may be necessary in order to publish the recording.
Conferences
All public or outside speaking engagements, even those unrelated to my work or employer, must be pre-approved by me and my employer(s).
If the request is approved and directly relates to my employer, I may not request or accept any form of personal compensation from the organization that requested my participation, except reimbursement for incurred expenses.
Intellectual property
You may record or stream my event, but I retain ownership over the content of the talk and the right to give the talk at other events at my discretion. If you record or stream a presentation, ensure that it is captioned and includes a link to my blog. Recordings cannot be paywalled (unless I give express, written permission, such as if you have paid me for a private corporate event), and I reserve the right to ask that any recording, audio or video, as well as my likeness, be taken down at any point in the future for any reason of my choosing.
You may not use my photo, voice, or any piece of my presentation to mint Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT).
Written work
Written work includes academic research, hand written notes, social media posts and reposts (e.g., retweets), and online publications (e.g., blog posts, academic assignments, and articles). For all forms of written work, the finalized draft must be approved by me and my employer(s); please note that requests for content changes may be necessary in order to publish the piece.
Other notes
I strongly prefer events that clearly communicate each speaker’s pronouns, both on the conference website and on badges.
Additionally, if captioning is not used at a speaking event, I reserve the right to create some afterwards.
