If you’re interested in writing an article for One Degree, we’d love to hear from you! Here’s how you can become a contributor.
PLEASE NOTE! We will not accept articles written in whole or in part with AI.
Step 1: Contact us
Contact us at mose [at] onedegree [dot] ca and let us know what your passion is to write about. We’re looking for case studies, position pieces, the relationship between online and offline marketing and how-tos. We’re looking for articles that will spark discussions around interactive marketing topics and/or that provide solid takeaways or implementable ideas for our readers. Really, we’re looking for anything that you think a fellow marketer would be interested in or benefit from. We’re particularly interested in local flavour, e.g. reports from regional marketing associations or conferences.
You don’t have to submit a topic for clearance – you can just send us a finished article. Or, conversely, if you have an idea we are happy to have you bounce it off us first. The only reason we like to know ahead of time is in case someone else is writing about it. We would be happy to have different articles about the same topic, we simply would like to schedule better and see if there are perhaps different opinions or takes on the subject.
Step 2: Write it Down
Articles can be as short as 300 words or can be a multi-part series of articles if you have a lot to say. Important points to note:
Be Transparent
If you’re using your own business or work you’ve done for a client to illustrate a point in your article, be sure to be transparent about your relationship with that client.
Formatting
We convert every article into HTML when we post it on One Degree. You can submit your article in any format you choose, but please check with us first for specifics.
Concurrent Publishing
One Degree likes to feel special. One of our goals is to provide content that our readers can’t get anywhere else. However, we know that you like to share your content on your own blog as well. We’re happy with concurrent publishing; we just don’t like to publish articles “after the fact”, but we’ll work with you on a publishing schedule.
Step 3: Airbrushing
Here at One Degree, we offer spelling and grammar check as well as light editing on every article submitted. If we do make any edits to your piece, we’ll be in touch before we publish so that you can approve any changes we’ve made.
There you have it!
Just three easy steps to One Degree glory. So contact us at mose [at] onedegree [dot] ca and get the ball rolling.
