Episode #75: Pitch a Contributed Article with Luz Corona, Community Editor at ADWEEK
In the latest We Earn Media podcast episode, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Luz Corona, the Community Editor at ADWEEK, to discuss how to pitch the coveted ADWEEK Voice column.
If you’ve ever tried to submit something to this column, you’re likely already aware of the contributor interest form.
It is no surprise that they receive hundreds of submissions each week. So, how does one stand out?
Here are some pointers straight from Luz herself:
Align your pitch with Adweek's editorial ethos. Taking the time to understand the publication's coverage landscape by immersing oneself in ADWEEK’s articles is paramount
Infuse your submission with personal flair and original angles. She exemplifies this ethos through the success story of Goldie Chan's article on CES and Eureka Park.
Cultivate meaningful relationships with PR and communications professionals to bolster pitch acceptance rates.
Leverage platforms like LinkedIn to foster successful collaborations with potential contributors.
These tips lend themselves nicely to other contributor columns, too. I hope this helps you land that next pitch!
Cheers!
Britt
