We’re dedicated to building a collaborative environment within the Australian digital marketing arena and welcome guest submissions from like-minded professionals. If you live and breathe digital marketing as much as we do, have a read of our guidelines and submit your article below.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for well-researched content that’s either newsworthy or details areas of the digital marketing industry that are proving difficult for experts within the industry. For instance, we don’t want articles that tell us what SEO is, but we do want actionable tips on how to make processes like content outreach work on a large-scale.
We also want content that’s professional, but not stuffy. When writing for us, try to inject a bit of personality.
Some things we absolutely love:
- Social media, Facebook marketing, LinkedIn advertising, you name it, we want to hear about it
- Anything digital marketing related (as long as it’s relevant to an Australian audience). We’re talking Google AdWords, conversion rate optimisation, content marketing, local search, and even analytics
- Anything new and exciting in the world of Google. If there was a recent update, we want to hear about it
- All things to do with responsive web design, web hosting, and even content management systems
For a better idea of the type of content we do publish, please review our past work before you hit submit.
