Tier-1 editorial coverage across 35,000+ outlets. We don't chase coverage — we engineer it. Every placement earned, every narrative owned.
We don't pitch — we engineer coverage. Exclusive drops into Forbes, Bloomberg and the FT, coordinated wire distribution, and op-eds that land in the rooms where decisions get made.
Four tightly-scoped deliverables. No filler retainer line items, no agency bloat.
Direct warm intros into Forbes, Bloomberg, WSJ, FT, Reuters, Axios and 200+ vertical trades. No cold pitches, no spray-and-pray.
Strategic placement via PR Newswire, BusinessWire, and GlobeNewswire — timed with embargoed exclusives for compounding reach.
Single-outlet drops that drive Day-1 momentum before the story breaks wide to every other newsroom.
Ghostwritten thought leadership published under your name in the publications your buyers and board actually read.
We find the angle you've been sitting on. Interviews, doc review, competitor scan — five days of surfacing what the market doesn't yet know about you.
One defensible story. Three proof points. Five priority outlets. A pitch your editors can't ignore because it's written for their readers, not yours.
Warm outreach to 40+ journalists we've known for a decade. Embargoed exclusives. Coordinated wire. The story lands in the right order.
Placements become SERP, SERP becomes inbound, inbound becomes pipeline. We measure it all — monthly — and adjust the next quarter accordingly.
A business media placement is an earned editorial feature, interview, or mention in a recognised publication — Forbes, Bloomberg, The Financial Times, Reuters, or a relevant trade title — that positions your company or executive as a credible source in your industry. Unlike paid advertising, placements are editorially approved and carry the implicit trust of the outlet's audience.
A top business media placement combines outlet authority (domain rating, readership, investor trust) with narrative fit — your story framed in the language that publication's audience responds to. The most impactful placements appear in tier-1 outlets like Forbes, Bloomberg, WSJ, or the FT, and are secured through direct journalist relationships rather than wire distribution.
Quorum Media secures tier-1 placements through direct editorial relationships built over years with business desks at Forbes, Bloomberg, Business Insider, Reuters, and the Financial Times. We identify the right journalist for your story, develop an exclusive angle tailored to that outlet's editorial calendar, and pitch it as an embargo or exclusive — not a press release blast.
Tier-1 placements typically take 4–8 weeks from story audit to publication, depending on the outlet's editorial cycle and exclusivity requirements. Trade and industry press moves faster — often 2–3 weeks. We work to a four-week runway for the first placement, with compounding coverage building over a 12-month retainer.
Media placements deliver the highest ROI for companies where third-party credibility directly affects revenue: investor-backed startups preparing for a raise, B2B companies selling to enterprise buyers, executives building personal authority, and brands entering new markets where trust must be established quickly. The Forbes or Bloomberg logo on a pitch deck changes conversion rates measurably. PR and marketing agencies looking to offer this capability to their clients can explore our agency partnership program.
We do not guarantee specific outlets — no credible agency can, as editorial decisions rest with journalists. What we guarantee is the quality of the work: a rigorously developed story angle, exclusive pitches to the right journalists, and a documented outreach process. Our track record across Forbes, Bloomberg, BBC, The Independent, and 300+ outlets reflects the strength of those relationships.
