How it works
Four steps
Send us a few lines about you or your brand, with photos and links.
We check that there is a story and confirm the package.
Our editors write. You review and request changes.
After payment the feature goes live and you receive the link.
Questions
Good to know
- Will the article say it is sponsored?
- Yes. Paid features carry a visible "Sponsored feature" label, and links in them are marked as sponsored. That is the law in Europe and it protects your reputation as well as ours.
- Do you accept every request?
- No. We publish people and brands with a real story: hospitality, design, fashion, art, events and entrepreneurs. We do not publish financial products, gambling, medical claims or anything we cannot stand behind.
- Who writes the article?
- Our editors, based on your information and a short questionnaire. You approve the final text before publication.
- How long does a feature stay online?
- Permanently, as long as VIP News exists. The home page placement in the Interview and Cover Story packages is limited to the period stated.
