Blog Submission Guidelines

Welcome to our blog guidelines page. We're excited to feature content from a diverse array of marketing leaders and innovators like you. Before submitting your idea, please review the guidelines below to ensure your content aligns with our goals and standards.

Who We Welcome

The Marketing AI Pulse community blog exists to help marketers turn AI's potential into real impact — through shared knowledge, peer connection, and applied insights. Our guest blog contributors are part of that mission.

We welcome anyone actively working in or around AI in marketing who has something genuine to share:

• Practitioners applying AI to real marketing challenges

• Leaders building AI strategy and capability inside organizations

• Consultants and agencies helping clients navigate the shift

• Researchers and analysts with findings worth contextualizing for a marketing audience

The best submissions come from people who have done the work, tested the framework, or lived the outcome. Speak from experience — your perspective is what makes it worth reading.

Content Standards

We value content that challenges conventional wisdom, introduces new ideas, or provides deep dives into emerging trends.

• Your experience: Fresh, unique perspectives that reflect your insights and are grounded in your direct experience, real data, or tested frameworks.

• Informative: Focused on making the reader better at their job — not on showcasing the contributor

• Balanced and educational: AI products and tools can be referenced as examples, not positioned as the solution

• Original Content: Every submission must be entirely original and not previously published elsewhere.

• No Plagiarism: We have a strict no-plagiarism policy. All information, quotes, and data from external sources must be appropriately cited within your article.

Target Audience

Your content should cater to CMOs, marketing leaders, and marketing professionals who are looking for innovative solutions, strategies, and insights into the marketing and technology landscape.

Notes:

• We do not accept: vendor content positioning a product as the solution, PR agency submissions, or general AI commentary without direct experience.

• The Marketing AI Pulse editorial team will add an FAQ section, consistent with the community’s brand guidelines, to enhance LLM and Gen AI visibility.

Length and Formatting

• 800–1,500 words

• Use a clear, readable format with headers, bullet points, and short paragraphs to enhance readability

• Submitted online in Google Docs with commenting enabled

• All claims linked to primary sources

• Author bio: 75 words max, LinkedIn URL, headshot (800×800px min)

AI Use Policy

AI tools are welcome in your writing process — for research, ideation, outlining, and drafting. We encourage the use of technology to spark creativity and efficiency in your writing process. What matters is what you bring to the piece.

• Every submission must reflect your original perspective, professional experience, and informed judgment.

• Before you submit, review your draft in full, confirm that every claim is accurate, and make sure the piece sounds like you.

• We publish your perspective, not your prompt.
