Business Works - about BW briefs

What are BW briefs?

BW briefs are short, online, topical editorials. They may be provocative, observations, information, discussion points etc, but they must be easy to read, relevant and topical. They should provide our readers with a 'return on investment' for their time reading the editorial! Articles with transerable knowledge, tips & tricks, useful information, etc are always popular. Bear in mind that our target readership is Directors of mid-sized organisations, although we have readers from a wide variety of sectors, organisation sizes, etc.

BW briefs are:

  • Short, punchy, interesting, relevant, informative etc;
  • Less than 750 words - ideally around 700 words;
  • Have a short, punchy title;
  • Unique editorial is in the interests of all parties (search engines pick up easily on duplicate articles)
  • By-line in the form 'by xxx, CEO, yyy'
  • Accompanying picture - landscape (not portrait) format and good resolution - we can crop high resolution pictures if required. Often the author, but by no means necessarily!
  • IP of the picture and words are assigned to Business Works for use in publishing the materials and their promotion on a non-exclusive basis, but duplicating exact articles should be avoided
  • May include a URL for a link in the 'for more info' paragraph at the end
  • Editorial - not advertorial - and adding value for the reader - with knowledge, information, transferable skills etc - leadership / management always popular
  • The Editor's / Editorial Board's decision is final
  • Will be publicised (when published) via the Business Works Twitter feed (@biz_works).

They are not:

  • ... advertising "puff" or advertorial;
  • ... promotions for commercial products or services (some mention of conferences / events / pro bono offers etc may be allowed);
  • ... reproductions of Press Releases - they should be written as editorials and have unique content.

Authors of BW Briefs that receive positive feedback from our readership may be invited to contribute more editorials in the future!
