The name everyone recognises
We develop your story and pitch it toward Forbes on your behalf. You approve every word before anything is submitted.
We develop your story, write the feature to editorial standard, and manage the placement. You approve every word before anything goes live.
Forbes is one of the most recognised business brands in the world, covering entrepreneurship, leadership, money and innovation for a global audience.
A Forbes association is understood instantly, with no explanation needed. It carries weight with investors, partners and prospects long after they forget where they read it.
Best for: Founders, executives and established businesses.
Four things get called a Forbes feature. Staff and contributor editorial is decided inside the newsroom: a writer who covers your beat chooses to cover you, and nobody can sell that. Forbes Councils is an official paid membership with an application and vetting step, and what it gives you is a bylined column rather than a journalist writing about you. BrandVoice is sponsored content, carries a paid-content label, and is priced at brand-marketing levels rather than PR levels. The fourth route is agency-assisted pitching, which is what we do: develop the angle, write to editorial standard and put it in front of the writers who cover your space. Pitching is plausible for a normal client, Councils is a budget decision, and nothing here is guaranteed.
Forbes writers are looking for a story, not a successful person. What travels is a number from inside your business that nobody else can publish, a trend you can evidence beyond your own accounts, or a contrarian read on your market you can defend. Think of a founder with three years of pricing data who can explain what it says about where the sector is heading, with customers and documents a writer can check. That sits in the money, leadership or innovation coverage rather than on a news desk, and it works because the reader finishes knowing something. A funding total with no wider stake, a company milestone, or a personal success story will not clear the bar on its own.
Yes. It is a genuine article published on the outlet, written about you and your work — not an ad you design yourself.
Most placements take weeks rather than days. We give you a realistic timeline for Forbes before we start, and never promise a date we cannot control.
You review and revise until it is right. Nothing publishes without your approval.
