Apply
Apply to be featured on Brands Beyond Business
If you built something real and came through something hard, this is for you. The form below takes about five minutes. Nothing you write here is public.
A feature is paid. You get a filmed interview, short clips, and photos to use for your own brand. We go over what it includes and what it costs on a call, after we have read your application.
What to expect
What happens after I apply?
Brands Beyond Business reads every application and replies to each one. Here is the path from applying to going live.
You apply
Tell us about your business and one hard moment that shaped it. It takes about five minutes.
We talk
A short call to hear your story, walk you through what a feature includes and what it costs, and see if it is a fit. No pressure.
We film
A relaxed, filmed conversation. You choose what you share, including anything about mental health.
You launch
Your feature goes live on Brands Beyond Business, and you get the video, clips, and photos to use.
The form
Tell us about your business
Short answers are fine. We want to hear how you really talk, not a polished pitch.
Setup note (remove when live): set applyFormAction in src/data/site.json to your form provider's endpoint. See README.
Who it's for
Who is Brands Beyond Business looking for?
Brands Beyond Business features founders and owners of service-based or mission-driven businesses who have a real story and are ready to share it.
You built something real.
You run a business that serves people, and you can talk about it without a script.
You came through something hard.
Burnout, doubt, loss, a season you almost quit. You do not have to share all of it. But you are willing to be honest.
You want a commercial.
The series is not an ad. If you want a sales video with a script, this is not the right place.
You want to hide the hard parts.
The hard parts are the point. If they are off the table, the story will not land.
Questions
Common questions about applying
How long does the application take?
About five minutes. There are a few short questions about you and your business. You do not need to write a lot. Plain and honest works best.
What happens after I apply?
We read every application and reply to each one. If it looks like a fit, we set up a short call to hear more and answer your questions. Then we plan the filming.
Do I need to talk about mental health?
No. What you share is always your choice. Some founders talk about burnout, doubt, or a hard season. Some do not. Both are welcome in the series.
Who sees my application?
Only the Brands Beyond Business team. We do not sell or share your details. [CONFIRM: how long applications are kept, and the form provider used.]
What does it cost?
A Brands Beyond Business feature is paid. You get a filmed interview, short clips, and photos to use for your own brand, plus a place on the series. We go over the details and pricing with you on a call after you apply. Nothing is posted on the site.
