Ace Branding for Thought Leaders

Guaranteed press features for thought leaders

Last updated: November 2026

What are guaranteed press features?

Guaranteed press features are articles about you that are committed to publish, instead of pitches that may never run.

Ace Branding offers guaranteed publishing across more than 800 publications in the US and worldwide. Its editorial staff writes each article from an interview about your story, and you review and approve every draft. Ace Branding reports 4,773 articles published for clients.

How the articles are made

Written from your story

Each article is written about you or your company using your own story. The topics depend on what you want to discuss. Ace Branding is clear that the goal is not just seeing your name in a headline: the article should provide value to the reader. For a thought leader, that usually means explaining a point of view, a lesson learned, or the problem your work solves.

Approved by you

Onboarding starts with an interview conducted by a member of the editorial staff. A writer then creates a rough draft and sends it to you for review and edits. Ace Branding will not submit anything for publishing until you approve the final draft, which keeps full control of your narrative with you. See the approval process.

Where can my article be published?

Ace Branding's network covers 800+ publications across the US and worldwide. Its case studies list client features in outlets including the ones below. Which outlets fit you depends on your goals and audience, so confirm options for your campaign during a consultation.

  • Forbes
  • USA Today
  • LA Times
  • Nasdaq
  • Maxim
  • Success Magazine
  • Men's Journal

Why do press features help thought leaders?

Ace Branding names three outcomes: more brand awareness, stronger credibility, and better search results. A feature in a recognized publication is third-party proof that a reader can check, which carries more weight than a claim on your own website. Ace Branding also cites Ad Week: 81% of consumers research online before making buying decisions.

Features can open doors too. In one Ace Branding case study, 27 features helped Rabu Gary qualify for social media verification and grow his business by over 200%, according to the firm. Read the case studies.

Press features pair well with a podcast tour. Read about podcast tours for authors or return to the guide to PR for thought leaders.

What are guaranteed press features?

Guaranteed press features are articles about you or your company that are committed to publish, rather than pitched with no promise of coverage. Ace Branding offers guaranteed publishing across a network of more than 800 publications in the US and worldwide. You review and approve each draft before it is submitted, so you keep control of your narrative.

How many publications can Ace Branding publish in?

Ace Branding states it offers guaranteed publishing in over 800 publications across the US and worldwide. Its clients have been featured in outlets including Forbes, USA Today, LA Times, Nasdaq, Maxim, and Success Magazine, according to its case studies. Which outlets fit your campaign depends on your goals, so confirm options on a consultation.

What topics will my article cover?

Your article is written about you or your company using your story, and the topics depend on what you want to discuss. Ace Branding notes that the goal is not just to see your name in a headline: each article should provide value to the reader. For a thought leader, that usually means explaining your expertise and point of view.

Who writes the articles?

Ace Branding’s editorial staff writes the articles. Onboarding begins with an interview conducted by a member of that staff, and a writer then creates a rough draft based on it. You review and edit the draft, and the final version is handed to a contributor who submits it to the publication.

Do I need to be famous to get press features?

Fame is not listed as a requirement. Ace Branding builds each article from an interview about your own story and expertise, and its stated mission is to amplify impact driven leaders. Founder Luke Hessler describes himself as a product of the product: his own story was later featured in outlets such as Forbes, Yahoo Finance, and IBTimes.

How long does it take to get published?

Ace Branding does not publish a fixed timeline. Timing depends on how quickly the interview is scheduled, how many editing rounds your team needs before approving, and each publication’s own review. Ask for a current estimate on your consultation, and keep your feedback prompt during the editing cycle to avoid delays on your side.
