Pitch a piece

Marketleaf accepts pitches from working practitioners — in-house marketers, agency leads, platform builders, AI marketing engineers — who have something concrete to say about the AI marketing stack. The publication does not run vendor essays. It does run case studies, opinion pieces with named authors, and field notes from teams shipping in production.

A useful pitch contains: a sentence on what the piece is about; a paragraph on what is concrete and specific in the piece (the workflow, the stack, the routine, the program); a sentence on why you in particular are the right person to write it; and any disclosures relevant to the topic. Pitches that lead with the writer's credentials and never get to the specifics tend not to make it past the first read.

If you have a specific beat writer in mind, pitch them directly — addresses are on each author's page. If you do not know whose beat your pitch falls under, send to editors@marketleaf.com and it will be routed.
