About Column

Column Content is a content and research agency helping leaders build their voice on line and beyond. We work with founders, execs, and public figures globally — combining sharp storytelling with research-led strategy.

Contributor guidelines

We publish guest content that helps leaders get seen and build influence.

If you have something to say about how influence is built, used, or monetized by modern founders and executives, we’d love to hear from you.

Content should help leaders:

  • Get influence (visibility, credibility, audience clarity)
  • Build influence (thought leadership, research, storytelling, strategic content)
  • Sustain influence (consistency, community, platform leverage, media strategy)
  • Leverage influence (for hiring, revenue, partnerships, brand equity)
  • Monetize influence (consulting, products, deal flow)

Ideal formats include:

  • Strategy-rich essays grounded in personal experience
  • Narrative-driven opinion pieces
  • Case studies and content frameworks that show results

What we don’t publish

  • Promotional or sales-driven content
  • SEO filler or AI-generated fluff
  • Generic listicles or beginner advice
  • Anonymous submissions or ghostwritten posts

Submission requirements

  • 800–1,500 words
  • Strong point of view tied to influence
  • Real examples, stories, or takeaways
  • Plain English, no jargon or filler
  • Original, unpublished content only

What to include in your pitch

  • 2–3 potential headlines
  • A short summary (2–3 sentences) of the article’s angle
  • Your LinkedIn profile (required — we don’t publish anonymous content)
  • A 50-word author bio
  • 2+ links to past writing or content

Our process

  • We’ll review pitches within 14 days if we’re interested in moving forward.
  • We may request edits to match our tone or audience.
  • Final publishing decisions rest with our editorial team.
