Get Featured
Two ways to appear in The Industry Leaders
No. 1 - RECOGNITION
Be recognised
Our Top 25 lists name the most influential professionals in 25 industries, every year. Selection is free, independent, and cannot be bought — most nominees aren't chosen.
No. 2 - PARTNERSHIP
Build your visibility
Interviews, columnist profiles, and managed thought-leadership — clearly disclosed paid partnerships with a publication people trust.
Recognition: how it works
Anyone can nominate — yourself, a colleague, someone whose work deserves attention. There's no fee at any stage. Our editorial team evaluates every candidate independently on publicly verifiable activity: LinkedIn presence and engagement, published output, media visibility, and community impact over the past 12 months.
No commercial relationship with The Industry Leaders has any bearing on selection. That's not small print — it's the whole point. Editorial & Advertising Policy →
Visibility partnerships
If you want guaranteed visibility — for yourself, an executive, or a client — these are the ways to work with us. All partnership content is clearly disclosed and never influences our lists.
OPTION 1
Feature: Interview or Article
A feature on The Industry Leaders: take our interview, submit your own, or write it as a full article — showcasing your expertise, with links to your site and profiles, and priority publishing. Add a digital magazine cover for your own channels. One-off. Published within days.
OPTION 2
Leadership Columnist
Your own writer profile and byline on the site, publishing your insights under an approved contributor account — with a Columnist seal for your email footer or website. Application required.
From $199/month
OPTION 3
Executive Visibility Programme
Our fully managed option: professionally written thought-leadership published under your byline, built around your expertise and goals — for executives who want the outcome without the workload.
By proposal. Tell us what you're after and we'll come back to you personally.
Who works with us

What we won't do
We won't sell a place on a Top 25 list — at any price, to anyone. We won't publish undisclosed paid content. We won't accept adult, gambling, casino, or crypto content. And we won't let partnership content borrow the authority of our editorial voice: it's your expertise, under your name, clearly labelled.
If that's the kind of publication you want to be featured in, we'd love to hear from you.
