PARTNER SPONSORSHIP Partner Sponsorship: Our interview campaigns are delivered entirely free based on invitations sent to your strategic partners and most valued vendors, offering them exclusive sponsorship positions in and around your content.

Benefits: With zero impact on your own marketing budget, the Partner Sponsorship model provides a no-obligation opportunity for key strategic partners, vendors and/or suppliers to showcase their brand, products, services, and expertise to your story with a sponsored advertising campaign.

Impact: Involving your partners ensures your project reaches a wider audience.

We encourage each sponsor to take the branded posts we provide post-publication and share them across their own company pages to promote the content, encourage engagement, and drive the conversation.

Fact: 8 out of 10 companies use digital and social media as a part of their overall marketing and PR strategy. 83% of companies promote their business online, and 97% of these companies use LinkedIn. The opportunity to align their message and promote their services in-line with your success story will be well received, regardless of their decision to participate in this opportunity.

PARTNER SPONSORSHIP Bring your partners and vendors into the discussion and create awareness through their supporting content and sponsored advertising inclusions.

Awareness is crucial, and developing strategic relationships and like-minded partnerships that have an opportunity to influence and drive forward the narrative is all part of the plan.

I HAD THE ABSOLUTE PLEASURE OF BEING A GUEST ON ‘THE VOICE’ PODCAST ALONGSIDE MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND NAZMA, AND IT WAS AN INCREDIBLY ENRICHING EXPERIENCE. CHARLOTTE SKILLFULLY GUIDED OUR CONVERSATION, DELVING INTO TOPICS RANGING FROM CAREER AND LIFE TO CULTURE AND THE NUANCED CHALLENGES WOMEN FACE. THE PODCAST PROVIDED A PLATFORM FOR US TO SHARE OUR THOUGHTS ON THE TIGHTROPE THAT WOMEN OFTEN FIND THEMSELVES WALKING. CHARLOTTE’S INSIGHTFUL QUESTIONS ALLOWED US TO REFLECT ON OUR JOURNEYS, OPENING UP DISCUSSIONS ON DISCRIMINATION AND THE INTRICACIES OF NAVIGATING PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL SPHERES. THE ATMOSPHERE WAS BOTH ENGAGING AND ENJOYABLE, MAKING FOR A PODCAST SESSION THAT FELT MORE LIKE A MEANINGFUL CONVERSATION AMONG FRIENDS. I COMMEND ‘OUR VOICE’ FOR PROVIDING A SPACE TO EXPLORE THESE IMPORTANT NARRATIVES, AND I’M GRATEFUL TO CHARLOTTE FOR HER ADEPT INTERVIEWING SKILLS THAT MADE THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE BOTH THOUGHT-PROVOKING AND ENJOYABLE. IT WAS A DELIGHTFUL OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE OUR STORIES, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO MORE INSIGHTFUL CONVERSATIONS ON ‘OUR VOICE.’”

FAQ While the interview process is straightforward and we handle all parts of the production from start to finish, we find that a few common questions pop up during the initial planning stage whilst you are making a final decision to work with us.

The answers below should cover everything you need, but drop us a line if you have any other questions or concerns.

INTERVIEW PROCESS. Our executive interviews are underpinned by an in-depth and wide-ranging video conversation between you and our editor.

This should be a two-way discussion built around the questions already provided (see below), but also any topics you’re keen to discuss as the conversation unfolds. We like to allow one hour to give you the time needed, and we’ll take care of recording and transcribing the conversation.

INTERVIEW QUESTIONS.

of your time. The overall production time frame ranges from 4-6 weeks depending on where we are in the cycle when first agreeing your project, and how quickly we receive responses from the partners in terms of their own inclusions.

IMAGERY. To compliment the editorial and to allow us to produce the report to our high standards, we do ask for a range of hi-res images to be provided, including logos and your brand guidelines.

Following an initial chat or a separate discussion with a senior member of the editorial team, you’ll be provided with 10-15 questions that act as key talking points and prompt the interview conversation. Any input or feedback on these questions is always gratefully received prior to interview.

If, for any reason, you cannot supply images to the required standard, or we feel that you could benefit from a choice of fresh images, we can arrange an onsite photographer (region dependant) and/or advice on how to capture the best possible images using a smartphone or digital camera.

TIMINGS.

The executive interview is a collaborative project between you and us. With that in mind, you will always be sent a first draft of the proposed article to make any edits, changes or additions required. We ask that an edited and approved version of the article

As mentioned in the interview process information above, we like to allow one hour for the interview and, apart from the approval process, we don’t ask for too much more

APPROVAL.

is returned to our team within three working days of you receiving the initial draft – please send imagery as specified above in the same email(s).

We work to a strict monthly production schedule for our magazines. Within this cycle, the latest we will provide you with your first draft for editing is two weeks before publication date. In this instance, we would ask that the edited version and images are returned within the agreed time frame.

MORE QUESTIONS? At TECH-EXEC we believe in the power of storytelling to create exceptional content for our readers. We pride ourselves on delivering our projects to the highest editorial and design standards, and look forward to becoming your media partner of choice. If you have any questions about the executive interview series, or any of our other products and services, please don’t hesitate to contact us at: enquiries@stroudandclarke.com
