Guaranteed media placements

Guaranteed media placements put your story in a real outlet you pick, so you know it will run and roughly when. A guaranteed placement is a paid article or TV segment, so it doesn't depend on a journalist saying yes.

How it works

Guaranteed or earned?

Guaranteed

You pick the outlet and know it will run. One flat fee.

Earned

A journalist chooses to cover you. Nobody can guarantee it. Priced on the call.

Want both? We can talk through it on the call.

Why work with me

I've earned 200+ features myself, without an agency, so I know what makes a story worth running.
