Pitches wanted (franchising, marketing, business) | $450 per article
Added 2025-08-06 13:41:14 +0000 UTCCOMPANY/PUBLICATION: ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
Franchise marketers, agency leaders, and freelance writers in the U.S., Canada, or Mexico—ACHQ, the Active Campaign publication for franchise marketers, is commissioning Q and A interviews that spotlight marketing professionals behind growing North American franchises. Writers are paid $450 USD per piece. Each assignment involves interviewing a franchise marketer or agency leader, crafting a 1500-word Q and A (including a brief intro), and submitting the draft with headshots, a short bio, and the company logo (with usage permission).
The tone should be clear, helpful, and full of real insights. Writers are expected to surface examples, workflows, strategies, and soft skills that will resonate with others working in the franchise space. The content is not meant to promote Active Campaign—it’s designed to build trust, offer useful career advice, and help marketers improve how they work.
Once your first piece is approved, you can pitch as many as you’d like. Payment is issued through Gusto via Gate Check Studios, and invoices are paid even if the work doesn’t get published.
