Pitching Morning Brew, step by step

  1. Choose the right Brew: the flagship newsletter rarely covers individual companies, while industry Brews cover their sectors in depth.

  2. Find the reporter on that Brew through recent bylines and read a few issues.

  3. Write a short, personal pitch by email; Brew writers have publicly said they dislike long, copy-pasted pitches.

  4. Bring research, data, or a well-reported angle that fits the newsletter's audience.

  5. Offer a practitioner (a CMO, CHRO, CFO, or operator) who can speak candidly about how work is changing.

How Morning Brew decides what to cover

Morning Brew started as a daily business newsletter and has grown into a family of newsletters, podcasts, and video. The flagship Morning Brew summarizes the biggest business news of the day in a conversational voice. Industry Brews, such as Marketing Brew, Retail Brew, HR Brew, and CFO Brew, cover specific professional audiences with original reporting.

That split matters for pitching. The flagship newsletter is driven by major news and rarely features smaller companies. The industry Brews are where company stories, practitioner interviews, and trend pieces actually land.

How to pitch Morning Brew

Pick the Brew that fits your news and read several recent issues. Find the reporter through bylines on that Brew’s site and pitch one person by email. In a public Q&A, a Brew writer asked for pitches that are much shorter and not copy-pasted, which matches how most of its newsletter reporters work: email, brief, and specific to their beat.

Strong pitches give the reporter something new: original data, an unexpected trend, or a practitioner willing to talk honestly about a problem their peers face. A CMO explaining a real budget shift is more useful to Marketing Brew than a product feature list. Industry Brews also cover their sectors through recurring formats and events, so a practitioner who is candid and available on short notice can become a repeat source rather than a one-time mention.

Contributed articles and op-eds

We found no public contributor or op-ed program at Morning Brew. Executives appear as sources and interview subjects, on podcasts, and at events. The FAQ directs reader feedback to a survey, not an editorial submission form.

Mistakes that get pitches ignored

  • Long, templated pitches sent to many writers.
  • Pitching the flagship newsletter with niche B2B news better suited to an industry Brew.
  • Promotional language that does not match the conversational, skeptical tone.
