Thank you for your interest in contributing to ADWEEK. Please use this submission form to send us your pitch, which should contain the following:
- A brief statement of your article’s purpose.
- A brief statement of your article’s core thesis.
- Any research, evidence, or professional experience you as the author will draw upon to support your arguments.
- The specific value the article will deliver to the marketing community—e.g., “This article will help marketers ______.”
We will heavily prioritize pitches with a timely hook and a quick turnaround. Timeliness can be defined as a written response to a creative activation or an article whose themes are tied to a specific industry or global event. We are also interested in exclusive, behind-the-scenes perspectives on campaigns, events, and conferences. For all other content, we strive to complete our editorial process as expeditiously as possible, and we will communicate the timing of publication to the author.
This form is not for press releases. Please do not submit press releases here.
Please clearly disclose your title and organization, with a description of your organization to help us understand your particular role in the broader marketing ecosystem. Please also disclose any financial or business relationships you have with companies cited in the proposed article and indicate whether any material is embargoed or subject to additional final review.
We strongly encourage authors to pitch their Voice piece before beginning the formal writing process. This will give our editors an opportunity to provide feedback on the topic and angle of your article. If you have already drafted your article, please let us know in the submission. We do not accept previously published works.
If your pitch is promising, one of our editors will notify you of provisional acceptance and any feedback on the article’s approach. You will be asked to send a headshot and a bio that contains your name, title, organization, and a social media handle. Be prepared to assign copyrights to ADWEEK. Please note that we cannot guarantee final acceptance at this stage; while we may encourage you to write a full article based on a submitted outline or abstract, we reserve the right to approve articles for publication once we have reviewed the completed piece.
We aim to work collaboratively with authors to develop Voice articles for publication. Please be advised that an editor may pose clarifying questions, recommend substantial structural changes to an article, and rewrite drafts significantly to best serve our audience and elevate the overall quality of the content.
The time it takes to complete our editorial process depends on numerous factors, including staffing resources. As such, we cannot guarantee a publication date at the time of provisional acceptance or acceptance of an article, unless expressly stated.
We understand that your time and ideas are valuable, and we try to respond to pitches within two weeks of submission. Given the volume of submissions we receive, we cannot respond to every proposal. We are grateful for your interest in contributing to ADWEEK.
