“As Seen On” – Top Media Placements from November 2022

December 2, 2022 | Amanda Green

Our clients were featured in so many gift guides in November that it would take me forever to break them all down for you. Instead, I’m including links below and a few screenshots. Highlights include Oprah, Buzzfeed, CBSNews, RollingStone, Forbes, CNET, among other top-tier outlets! These are our top media placements from November 2022.

Holiday Gift Guides are a Year-Round Project

Our gift guide press outreach happens year-round. The season peaks around early to mid-summer. Clients that get the best coverage often have affiliate links that publishers can use, holiday-specific discounts & deals, and/or holiday-specific packages and products. Some editors compile their gift guides from products they’ve sampled throughout the year, so even if “gift guide” isn’t the pitch angle we give to them, they may still consider it.
