Pitching & Contribution Guidelines

The Bright Minded is highly focused on sharing with its audience the human and positive side of Fin-Tech, but not in a naive way. 

The publication wants to be as open as possible to professionals, founders, project owners, executives, and any relevant personalities in the industry. 

To keep this editorial line separated from the commercial side of the publication, and also to facilitate the participation of professionals, it is important not to pitch blindly. 

The Bright Minded includes two specific sections for contributed content: The Bright Ones and The Brights’ Angle. 

• The Bright Ones is the section where all the personalities who want to contribute can share information about their projects and business. It is not a form of free marketing, but a way to share with our audience useful information about how a project or business can actually improve people’s lives. To do so, and to keep the editorial line of the publication, it is important to include in the text real and honest information about the reasons behind the creation of the project. As you will see from the examples, this doesn’t mean that you can’t directly mention the project or business, but that the mentions must be useful to understand the reasons and goals of the project or business. This means that the focus is not promotion. For instance, you can’t introduce direct links, you can’t format the text as a press release, etc. There’s no particular indication regarding length or style.

• The Brights’ Angle is the section for sharing professional opinions, work, data, and everything not related to a specific project or business, but to the point of view of the professionals who want to contribute. Also in this case, we’re not talking about promotional content. Here too, no direct links are allowed, unless we’re talking about proprietary data - and in any case, links must be approved. No particular indication regarding style or length. See the section: https://www.thebrightminded.com/the-brights-angle/ 

Please note: all proposed pieces must be exclusive to The Bright Minded, meet high quality standards, and be approved by the editor before publication.
