Who Can Contribute

We welcome submissions from:

• Subject matter experts (SMEs) in MarTech, AdTech, SaaS, AI, CX, automation, data, and compliance
• Analysts, consultants, and leaders from marketing, advertising, and technology research/advisory firms
• Executives from associations, think tanks, and academic institutions specializing in digital transformation, data privacy, and marketing innovation

Restrictions:

• We cannot accept articles from vendors, suppliers, technology partners, or outsourcing firms that are written primarily to promote products or services.
• Authors must not hold roles in marketing, sales, business development, or PR when submitting as experts. Their role should be technical, strategic, or thought leadership–oriented.

Author Bio Requirements

• A short author bio (50–100 words) and professional headshot must accompany each submission.
• Bios should avoid promotional language (e.g., “leading provider of…”).
• Contact details may be included if the author wishes to be reached directly.

Content Guidelines

Articles must be:

• Original and exclusive to HR Technology Insights (and its network). Content previously published elsewhere will not be considered.
• Non-promotional. Articles should not market a company, product, or service, either directly or indirectly.
• Actionable and insightful. Each article should provide recommendations, frameworks, or best practices—not just high-level commentary.

Preferred Topics & Angles

• Deep dives into emerging trends in MarTech, CX, data, automation, AI, or privacy regulations
• Analysis of hot topics creating excitement, concern, or confusion in the market (e.g., generative AI in customer engagement, cookieless marketing, data governance, etc.)
• Early signals of emerging technologies or shifts that marketers should start preparing for
• Actionable strategies for addressing common challenges or pain points in marketing technology adoption
• Best practices drawn from case studies or field experience, with a balance of opinion and fact-based analysis

Voice & Style

• Use active voice (e.g., “Marketers should adopt…” rather than “It should be adopted…”)
• Written in American English. We do not provide translation services.
• Conversational yet authoritative tone—professional, but not academic or jargon-heavy.

Use of Artificial Intelligence in Writing

• We recognize that authors may use generative AI tools in research or drafting. If AI is used:
• All data, statistics, and references must be verified for accuracy.
• The final article must reflect the author’s original insights, expertise, and perspective.
• Authors take full responsibility for the content submitted.

Length & Structure

• Word Count: 1,000–2,000 words (excluding title, references, and bio). Longer submissions may be developed into a multi-part series.
• Introductions: No more than 2–3 paragraphs. Quickly set context and move into insights.
• Headings/Subheadings: Required for readability.
• Headline: Clear, engaging, ideally under 8 words / 50 characters.
• References: Use either superscript numbers with a references list or hyperlink directly within the text (preferred).

Formatting & Submission

• Submit articles in editable Microsoft Word format, American English.
• Define acronyms and abbreviations upon first use.
• Include charts, graphics, or figures where relevant.

Image Guidelines

• Images must be high-resolution (JPEG, PNG, or GIF).
• Authors are responsible for obtaining copyright permissions.
• Company logos and promotional imagery are not accepted.
• Captions should accompany all images.

Editorial Process
