- Guaranteed press features are articles about you or your company that Ace Branding commits to getting published, instead of pitches that may or may not land. The firm offers guaranteed publishing in over 800 publications across the US and worldwide, and you keep full control of your narrative because nothing is submitted until you approve the final draft.
- A writer on the Ace Branding editorial staff writes it. Your onboarding begins with an interview by a member of the editorial staff, and the writer creates a rough draft based on that interview. The draft then comes to you for review and edits, so the finished article reflects your story in your words and your priorities.
- Yes. Ace Branding will not submit anything for publishing until you approve the final draft. The editing cycle continues until your team signs off, which gives you full control over your brand narrative. This is one of the main differences the firm draws between itself and traditional PR, where you rarely control what a journalist writes.
- Ace Branding lists client features in outlets including Forbes, USA Today, LA Times, Nasdaq, Maxim, Success Magazine, Men's Journal, Miami Herald, Chicago Tribune, Washington Times, IB Times, and E! News. Which outlets are included for you depends on your package, so ask for the specific list on your consultation before you commit.
- Ace Branding does not publish a fixed timeline. The process has seven steps, from questionnaire and interview through drafting, your approval, submission to the contributor, publication review, and the link going live. Timing depends on how quickly you return edits and on each publication's review, so ask for an estimate on your consultation.
- Not exactly. Earned media usually means a journalist chose to cover you after a pitch, with no guarantee. Ace Branding's guaranteed features are placed through its publishing network and contributors, so placement is assured and you approve the draft. Both appear as articles on the publication's site. Ask how each placement is published so you know what you are getting.
- Once the article is published, the link goes live and becomes part of what people find when they search for you. Ace Branding's stated aim is to help you control the narrative on Google. Its reputation to revenue consulting service is designed to help you turn that credibility into new opportunities, customer loyalty, and revenue.
