Tuesday 10:00am local — after editorial standups.

Do they read cold email?

Yes, if it references a specific piece they published or a topical gap in their content map.

Subject lines that work?

'on your [piece] — one question', 'original data for your [topic] cluster', 'distribution lift idea'.

Under 4% on verified content leaders.

~58k worldwide; concentrated in B2B SaaS and media-led companies.

Should I pitch a guest post cold?

Content · Head of Content

Find any Head of Content's verified email — and lead with their map, not 'AI scale'.

Content leaders track topical authority, distribution, and original research. The cold emails they reply to bring one of those three — never 'we can produce 10× more articles'.

Why 'AI content' pitches die instantly

Content leaders already use AI. They don't need a vendor to tell them about it. They need original research, expert quotes, and distribution leverage they don't already have.

The pitches that land bring proprietary data tied to their topic cluster, or an audience the recipient can't reach themselves.

original data for your [topic] cluster

Body:

[First] — saw [Company] is building out the [topic] cluster (the [piece] last month was great, especially the [specific section]).

We just ran an aggregated benchmark across 1,200 [comparable] customers on [metric tied to the topic] — happy to share the cut exclusively if it'd plug a gap in the cluster.
