FAQs
We regularly send our Contributors exclusive requests to contribute to curated content pieces.
We use the same research tools employed by the world’s leading media and content companies including Expedia, HubSpot and Ogilvy. Armed with these tools, we can scan millions of articles and social posts to harvest meaningful insights into the most popular content across the most important topics and themes that business leaders follow today.
We identify the most engaging content that corporates and enterprises across the world are consuming right now to answer the questions they have and meet the challenges they face.
We then use this information to generate ideas for content that we know our target audience want to read, watch and listen to and we share those ideas with you in the form of Content Requests, emailed directly to your inbox, approximately once a month.
Each Content Request email is tailored so that you only see Requests which are relevant to you and your chosen areas of expertise.
We publish a diverse range of content formats including short-form articles (800 to 3,000 words), round-up posts, listicles, comprehensive guides, deep-dive thought leadership pieces and highly researched expositions which can be upwards of 4,000 words or longer.
We also publish videos. These usually present one or more speakers. We create a variety of video styles including documentary , podcast and interview. Some videos hone in on one specific issue such as “7 leading experts talk about the impact of AI in sales operation management” whilst others cover a more general theme like “4 strategies for remote workforce success”.
Finally, to maximize reach and impact we will sometimes collaborate with contributors to repurpose contributions into other formats such as video shorts, infographics, slideshows and ebooks.
We have two objectives with the content we publish:
- Deliver real value to our readers.
- Highlight your expertise, authority and business thinking.
Every Content Request has an accompanying link. If you are interested in creating (or, in the case of a collaborative piece, participating) the content requested, simply click the link to find out more and get started.
We promote all the content we publish. In addition to social media, we send hundreds of messages each day via email and LinkedIn directly to our clients and our database of business leaders and event organizers.
We publish all content first on our website. This content is optimised to appear in search engine results. We then publish selected pieces on LinkedIn.
We also republish popular pieces, either in their entirety or as excerpts on other platforms. These vary according to subject matter. Here are some of the sites we might publish to:
- Quora
- Substack
- Medium
- HubPages
- Vocal
- EzineArticles
- Slack
- Slideshare
- Growth Hackers
- ArticleBiz
- Scoop.it
- Listly
- Isuu
- ArticleSeen
- Joomag
