What They’re Looking For:
Active Campaign (ACHQ) is seeking freelance writers, agency leaders, and franchise marketers based in the U.S., Canada, or Mexico to create 1,500-word Q&A interviews with marketing professionals behind some of the fastest-growing North American franchises.
The content should:
- Deliver real insights, examples, and strategies from the franchise marketing space.
- Be practical, relatable, and inspiring for other marketers.
- Avoid promoting Active Campaign — focus on value, trust, and professional growth.
You’ll need to include:
- A short intro paragraph
- The Q&A content
- Headshots of your interviewee
- Their company logo (with usage permission)
- A short bio for the subject
Once your first piece is approved, you can pitch as many articles as you want.
Bonus: Writers are paid through Gusto via Gate Check Studios — and you still get paid even if your article isn’t published.
