Imagista and Our Pitch Process
Imagista offers an exceptionally vibrant showcase for your client or brand. We stand apart from so many other sites, with rich imagery and top-quality interviewers/writers to capture their latest project.
We welcome your pitches! Here are our basic guidelines:
We’re looking for figures (actors, musicians, artists, designers, etc.) who are doing critically acclaimed, groundbreaking, or cutting-edge work in their field.
We’re also interested in those with undeniable “style” status. Note: We’re not interested in covering talent from reality shows or mainstream TV shows, sitcoms etc.
We embrace diversity.
Potential “Feature Story” subjects should ideally have one million + followers on at least one social media channel and must be willing to actively promote their Imagista feature story on at least one of their platforms.
Subjects with less than a million followers may be taken into consideration based on our internal assessment and availability/willingness of our creative team members. We’ll consider subjects with smaller followings if we judge that they’re doing “breakout” work, but have yet to reach critical mass.*
Demographically speaking, there’s no age limit on our subjects. We have covered intriguing talent as young as 14 and as old as 81 yrs.
COVID Guidelines: Photoshoots are occurring but include strict guidelines to ensure the safety of everyone involved. These protocols, particular to each space and team, will be shared ahead of the session.
*Promoted Content
We’re open to considering creating content for unique brands and individuals. If you’d like to see your client on Imagista, but they don’t quite meet the above-mentioned guidelines, consider promoted content.
Promoted content is exactly what it sounds like, but when published, is no different than our other features (we don’t mark them as ‘promoted”).
Promoted content allows for a budget to recruit top talent in photographers, stylists, hair, and writers, and to showcase your up-and-coming client in the absolute best light.
There are other advantages to promoted content:
-You’ll have the option to purchase the rights to the images (at an additional cost)
-You’ll have more control over your story (depending on the level of content purchased).
Promoted content features run between $5000 to $10,000 depending on team members. Those costs can be broken out in more detail during a conversation about your needs and goals. Get in touch!
