Progressive Marketer accepts bylined contributions from outside writers for our publication. If you are interested in contributing on a one-time or regular basis, here are some general guidelines:

• Articles should be original to the author.

• Do not submit articles about businesses or companies in which you have a vested interest, unless you disclose said interest to the readers.

• Writing style should fit the tone of our publication. Also, articles should utilize third-person or narrative style, not first person (except in very rare cases).

• Topics should be relevant for our target audience. Progressive Marketer’s target readers are corporate marketing officers, marketing directors, brand managers, business owners, and CEOs.

• The desired length for 'How-To' and ‘Top Ten’ articles is 1,000-1,200 words. Feature articles may be up 3,000 words if subject matter lends itself to in-depth analysis.

• Feature articles should offer fresh insight or a new way to think about an age-old marketing challenge. 'How To' articles should offer readers clear advice or take-aways about a specific issue or approach.

• Verify and re-verify everything in your article. As a contributor to our publication, you are responsible for the accuracy of all information provided.

• Properly document and notate sources (either in the article or as a footnote) when facts and figures are cited.
