It is about you, in your words
Articles are written about you or your company using your story. The topics depend on what you want to discuss, and the goal is to provide value to the reader rather than just put your name in a headline.
Press features
Guaranteed press features for entrepreneurs and founders
Last updated: November 2026
A guaranteed press feature is a published article about you or your company, placed in a known publication, with the outcome agreed up front rather than hoped for.
Ace Branding offers guaranteed publishing in over 800 publications across the US and worldwide. An editor interviews you, a writer drafts the article from your story, and you approve the final draft before anything is submitted. The firm reports 4773 articles published for clients.

How do I get featured in Forbes or USA Today as an entrepreneur?
You get featured by having a story worth reading and a path to a writer or contributor at that outlet. Ace Branding clients have been featured in outlets including Forbes, USA Today, LA Times, Nasdaq, Maxim, and Success Magazine, according to its case studies. Your specific outlets are agreed during your consultation, so ask which publications fit your story.
The seven-step press process
This is the process Ace Branding publishes for every article.
Complete the press questionnaire and schedule an interview
The questionnaire takes about six minutes. When you are selected from the queue, the team contacts you to book a live interview with a member of the editorial staff.
Editorial staff writes the first draft
A writer turns your interview into a rough draft about you or your company, built on your story and the topics you chose.
Edit until your team approves the final draft
The editing cycle continues until you sign off. Nothing is submitted for publishing before you approve it.
Submit the final draft to the contributor
Your approved article goes to a contributor who writes for the target publication.
The contributor submits for approval with the publication
The publication reviews the piece through its own approval process.
Once approved, the publication publishes the article
The article runs in the publication you were placed with.
The link goes live
You receive a live link you can share with prospects, investors, partners, and anyone who searches your name.
What makes a press feature useful
You hold the final say
The editing cycle continues until your team approves the final draft. Ace Branding will not submit anything for publishing before that approval, so you keep control of your narrative.
It keeps working after launch day
Once published, the link goes live. You can share it with prospects and partners, and Ace Branding works to improve how you appear when someone searches your name.

Common questions
See all 48 questionsWhat is Ace Branding's press process?
It has seven steps. You complete a press questionnaire and schedule an interview, the editorial staff writes a first draft, and editing continues until your team approves the final draft. The final draft goes to a contributor, who submits it to the publication for approval. Once approved, the publication publishes the article and the link goes live.
Who writes the articles?
Ace Branding's editorial staff writes them. Onboarding begins with an interview conducted by a member of the editorial team, and a writer creates a rough draft from that interview. The article is about you or your company, built on your story, and the goal is to give the reader value rather than simply put your name in a headline.
Do I get to approve the article before it is published?
Yes. Ace Branding does not submit anything for publishing until you approve the final draft. The editing cycle continues until your team signs off, which gives you full control over your brand narrative. Narrative control is one of the four points on which the firm compares itself with traditional PR.
What topics will my articles cover?
The topics depend on what you want to discuss. Ace Branding writes each article about you or your company using your story, shaped around the subjects you choose during the interview. The aim is a piece that gives readers something useful, so expect your expertise and lessons to lead, with your achievements supporting them.
Which publications have Ace Branding clients appeared in?
Ace Branding's case studies name outlets including Forbes, USA Today, LA Times, Nasdaq, Maxim, Men's Journal, and Success Magazine. The outlets available to you depend on your story and your package, so ask which publications in the network of over 800 fit your goals before you buy anything.
Are guaranteed press features the same as ads?
No. They are articles about your story, written by an editorial team and submitted by a contributor for the publication’s approval, not display ads. They are written to give readers value. Formats and labels differ between outlets, so ask on your consultation how each publication in your package presents contributed articles before you buy.
What if I do not like the first draft?
You ask for changes. Ace Branding's process includes an editing cycle that continues until your team approves the final draft, and nothing is submitted for publishing before that approval. Give specific feedback on facts, tone, and emphasis so the writer can revise quickly and the piece reads the way you would tell your own story.
What happens if a publication does not approve my article?
After you approve the draft, a contributor submits it to the publication, and the publication decides whether to publish. Because Ace Branding guarantees results for the work you purchase, ask during your consultation exactly how the guarantee applies if a particular outlet declines, so you know the plan before you start.
