Baden Bower is a PR agency that guarantees editorial placements in Forbes, Business Insider, Vanity Fair, Entrepreneur, and 700+ other Tier-1 publications worldwide — or your money back. Founded by AJ Ignacio, the agency has published over 25,000 news features for 3,548 clients across 37 countries. Packages start at $990 with most placements live within 72 hours of approval. Unlike traditional PR firms that charge monthly retainers with no guaranteed outcome, Baden Bower charges only for confirmed, delivered coverage. The agency serves business owners seeking media credibility to close more deals, and visa applicants pursuing O-1 or EB-1A extraordinary ability status who require published coverage as documented evidence for USCIS.

Not All "Forbes Placements" Are Equal
There are four completely different ways your name can appear on Forbes — only one of them carries real credibility. Here's what you need to know before paying anyone.
Forbes BrandVoice
A paid advertorial product. Your company pays Forbes directly to publish content labelled "BrandVoice." Anyone who clicks sees a "paid content" disclaimer. Google treats it as sponsored content.
Paid / Labelled AdvertorialForbes Councils
A paid membership program. You pay ~$2,500/year for the right to submit articles that may or may not be published. No guarantee of placement. Articles are labelled as council contributions.
No Guarantee / LabelledContributor Articles
Unpaid editorial written by Forbes contributors. You pitch to a contributor who may or may not write about you. No payment, no guarantee, no timeline. Success rate is very low for unknown brands.
No Guarantee / UnpredictableGenuine Editorial Placement
A real editorial article on a Forbes network site, written by a journalist, with no "paid" or "sponsored" label. It appears in Google search results for your company or brand name. This is the only type that builds lasting credibility.

Forbes Placements Work Differently for Different People
Select your situation to see exactly how a Forbes placement helps you.
"Is This Actually Forbes?"
It's the most common question we get, and it deserves a direct answer. Forbes operates a network of regional editorial editions — Forbes Australia, Forbes Middle East, Forbes Israel, Forbes Africa, and others.
These are not fake Forbes sites or low-authority affiliates. They are official Forbes editorial properties that share the same domain architecture as Forbes.com, carry the same Google trust signals, and their articles appear in Google search results for your name just like any Forbes US article.
Baden Bower places clients across the full Forbes network. The specific edition is determined by your story angle and the editorial team available. Either way, you receive a real Forbes article on a real Forbes domain.
Every Forbes placement we deliver:
What Every Client Asks Before Signing Up
Is this actually Forbes — not a fake press release?
Yes. Your article is published on a Forbes network site or official Forbes regional editions (Forbes Australia, Forbes Israel, etc.) which rank in US Google search. You receive a live, clickable URL before you pay for anything ongoing. We show past client examples on our call.
What if I'm not placed? Do I lose my money?
No. Our money-back guarantee is written into your agreement. If we fail to deliver your guaranteed Forbes placement, you receive a full refund. We've delivered over 25,000 placements — our guarantee is backed by a track record.
What industries do you place?
We've placed founders, executives, coaches, consultants, athletes, authors, and professionals across tech, finance, health, law, real estate, e-commerce, and 30+ other industries. If you have a story worth telling, we can place it in Forbes.
Can this help with my O-1 or EB-1A visa?
Yes. Forbes placements are recognised by USCIS as documented evidence of national or international recognition — a key criterion for O-1A and EB-1A extraordinary ability visa applications. We've helped hundreds of clients build their visa media portfolio. Learn more about our EB-1A visa media packages →

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
How the "Get on Forbes" Service Works Differently
Traditional PR agencies charge monthly retainers with no certainty of outcome. You could spend months — and tens of thousands of dollars — without ever seeing your name in print. The guaranteed placement model flips this entirely.
Baden Bower charges a flat fee per placement and guarantees publication in Forbes — or refunds your money. This approach removes the financial risk that has defined the PR industry for decades. You pay only for confirmed, delivered coverage.
The process is structured and transparent: you complete a questionnaire about your background and goals, the editorial team crafts a story that aligns with Forbes' standards, and the article goes live — typically within 72 hours of your approval.
This model is especially valuable for founders on a defined timeline — whether preparing for a funding round, launching a product, or building an immigration media portfolio for O-1 or EB-1A visa applications.

MAXIMIZE YOUR COVERAGE
From Feature to Impact: Turning Forbes Into ROI
A Forbes feature is not a trophy to hang on the wall — it is a business asset that keeps working for you. The brands that extract the most value from their coverage are those that deploy it strategically across every customer touchpoint.
Pitch Decks and Investor Materials: Adding "As Featured in Forbes" to your pitch deck instantly elevates your perceived credibility. Investors process hundreds of decks — a Forbes mention helps yours stand out and signals third-party validation.
Website and Landing Pages: Embedding a Forbes badge or linking to your article on your homepage creates a halo effect of trust that improves conversion rates. Visitors who see editorial coverage from a recognized publication are significantly more likely to take action.
Social Media and Advertising: Sharing your Forbes feature across LinkedIn, Instagram, and paid ad campaigns extends its reach far beyond the initial publication. The content becomes fuel for months of marketing activity.
SEO and Backlinks: A Forbes article provides a high-authority backlink (Domain Authority 94) that strengthens your website's search engine performance. This organic SEO benefit compounds over time, driving sustained traffic long after the article is published.
Companies that treat their Forbes feature as the starting point of a visibility campaign — rather than the finish line — consistently report the highest returns on their PR investment.
"I built Baden Bower because the PR industry was taking money and delivering excuses."
AJ Ignacio founded Baden Bower after watching business owners pay $10,000–50,000 per month to traditional PR agencies — and receive nothing publishable in return. His answer was simple: only charge for results. No retainers. No "we're working on it." A guaranteed placement or a full refund.
Today Baden Bower has published over 25,000 news features for 3,548 clients across 37 countries, operating from offices in New York, Sydney, and London. Every placement carries the same guarantee AJ made on day one.
