Blog Guidelines

Welcome to the Spark Novus Blog! We're excited to feature content from a diverse array of marketing leaders and innovators like you. Before you submit your piece, please read through our guidelines carefully to ensure your submission aligns with our goals and standards.

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

Originality and Authenticity

Original Content: Every submission must be entirely original and not previously published elsewhere. We are looking for fresh, unique perspectives that reflect your insights and experiences.

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

AI Use Policy

Ideation and Drafting: The use of AI tools for ideation and drafting your article is permitted. We encourage the use of technology to spark creativity and efficiency in your writing process.

Final Submission: While AI can assist in the initial stages, the final submission should reflect your personal insight and expertise. Please ensure that the final piece is polished and personalized, meeting our quality standards.

Length and Formatting

Word Count: Submissions should be between 600 - 800 words. This range allows for in-depth exploration of topics while keeping content digestible for our readers.
