Pitch Fast Company’s Work Life section & get a fast-track editor review
We’re excited to offer you an exclusive opportunity to pitch an article idea for Fast Company’s Work Life section. 🎉
This is an exclusive chance to pitch a high-profile publication and get in front of a major national audience! 🙌🏽
Note: This opportunity offers direct, exclusive access to a major outlet, but keep in mind it’s a HIGHLY SELECTIVE process (as opposed to our #PRHypeMachineExclusive opps, where you have a VERY HIGH chance of getting featured as we’ve already carefully selected YOU and have more flexibility there!). That said, the more compelling and unique your pitch, the higher your chances of being selected! 💫
Some topics Fast Company might be interested in:
Your experiences specific to being a woman founder/leader
Unique leadership experiences and lessons
Strategies for building inclusive workplaces or tackling gender equity
Fresh approaches to work-life balance that go beyond the usual advice
Behind-the-scenes challenges of entrepreneurship or strategies that have helped you grow your business
Leadership advice articles that share your POV on an area of expertise
And more! They are open to a wide range of ideas.
Pro tips: When you pitch, think authenticity, specificity, and innovative/outside of the box. What’s a story that only YOU can tell? Fast Company loves articles that blend personal experiences with advice or solutions that can inspire their readers. On the flip side, what will prevent your ideas from getting published are over-the-top self-promotion (of yourself or your company), dense jargon and abstract, blanket assertions.
Examples of this type of article:
Follow this 3-step framework to make real progress in your DEI goals
Use this extremely simple ‘wish list’ framework to build the life you want
