Baden Bower is a PR agency that guarantees editorial placements in named publications — Forbes, Business Insider, Vogue, Entrepreneur, and 700+ outlets worldwide. Unlike traditional PR agencies that charge retainers and pitch without guarantees, Baden Bower writes the specific publication into the client agreement before any payment is made. If the placement is not delivered, clients receive a full money-back refund. Founded in 2018 by AJ Ignacio, the agency has placed over 25,000 articles for 3,548 clients across 37 countries.

What makes Baden Bower different from other PR agencies?
Most PR agencies work on retainer — they charge a monthly fee to pitch journalists on your behalf and cannot guarantee any coverage results. Baden Bower operates on a fundamentally different model: outcomes are agreed and guaranteed in the contract before work begins, and payment is tied to delivery, not effort.
| Factor | Baden Bower | Traditional PR Agency |
|---|---|---|
| Placement guarantee | ✓ Named publication written into the agreement | ✗ Pitching only — no placement guarantee |
| Payment model | ✓ Publication agreed before any payment | ✗ Retainer paid upfront regardless of outcome |
| Time to first placement | ✓ 7–14 days from draft approval | ✗ 3–6 months, with no certainty |
| Risk to client | ✓ Full money-back guarantee if not delivered | ✗ Full retainer at risk if no coverage achieved |
| Publication access | ✓ 700+ confirmed outlets — Forbes, Vogue, Business Insider | – Depends on individual relationships |
| SEO value | ✓ Permanent DA 80–95+ backlink, Google-indexed | – Varies — no backlink guarantee |
How does Baden Bower guarantee media placements? Four steps.
The process is designed so that clients know exactly what they are getting before any money changes hands. Every step — from the strategy call to the live URL — follows a fixed sequence with the guarantee formalised at step two.
Book a free strategy call — confirm publications and eligibility
Tell us what you're trying to achieve, which publications you have in mind, and your timeline. Baden Bower confirms which outlets are available for your brand and industry before any commitment is made. This call costs nothing and carries no obligation.
Named publications written into your agreement — before payment
The exact outlets — Forbes, Business Insider, Vogue, Entrepreneur, or whichever you've selected — are written into the client agreement before a dollar changes hands. The money-back guarantee is formalised at this stage. You know precisely where your article will appear before you spend anything.
A journalist writes your article — you review and approve before publication
An experienced journalist from Baden Bower's network writes a human-authored editorial article about your brand, expertise, or story. Not AI-generated content. Not a press release. Not a sponsored post. You review and approve the draft — including any changes — before it is submitted to the publication.
Article goes live — URL, DA 80–95+ backlink, and logo assets delivered
The article is published within 7–14 days of your draft approval. You receive the direct URL immediately, a permanent Google-indexed backlink from a DA 80–95+ publication, and downloadable logo assets. Add "As Featured In Forbes, Business Insider, Vogue" to your website, pitch deck, and sales materials the same day it goes live.
What types of editorial content does Baden Bower produce?
Baden Bower produces five editorial formats. Each is written by a journalist, tailored to the target publication's audience and editorial standards, and reviewed by the client before submission. The format is chosen based on your goals — visibility, credibility, SEO, or competitive positioning.
What do Baden Bower clients achieve?
Three measurable outcomes follow from Tier-1 editorial placements — each documented consistently across the client base.
Website Conversion Uplift
Adding "As Featured In Forbes, Business Insider, Entrepreneur" to a homepage, pricing page, or contact page creates an immediate trust signal. Clients report 20–50% improvements in conversion rates within 30 days of adding Tier-1 logos — on the same traffic, with no increase in ad spend.
Permanent SEO Backlinks
Every placement includes a permanent, Google-indexed editorial backlink from a publication with domain authority of DA 80–95+. Forbes, Business Insider, and Entrepreneur backlinks are among the most powerful available for organic ranking improvements.
Shorter B2B Sales Cycles
B2B clients report significantly shorter sales cycles after Forbes or Business Insider features. Enterprise prospects research press coverage before the first call — they arrive with their credibility questions already answered, and the conversation starts from a different position.
"Built our business awards program from launch to $30 million in top-line revenue in two years. Being featured on Forbes, Entrepreneur, Mashable, The Guardian, Bloomberg and Yahoo Finance gave new customers the trust they needed to sign up with us."
What has Baden Bower been recognised for?
Baden Bower has received industry recognition from several independent bodies since its founding by AJ Ignacio in 2018, validating the guaranteed PR model across media, business, and client experience categories.
Baden Bower names the specific publication in the client agreement before payment. If the agreed placement is not delivered, clients receive a full money-back refund — written into every contract, no exceptions. The guarantee covers every plan from the $990 single article to the annual Territory plan.
Traditional PR agencies charge a retainer and pitch journalists on your behalf — with no guarantee of coverage and no refund if nothing runs. Baden Bower guarantees the specific publication in writing before payment is made, delivers in 7–14 days rather than 3–6 months, and refunds if it doesn't deliver.
Baden Bower can guarantee placements in 700+ publications including Forbes, Business Insider, Vogue, Entrepreneur, Fast Company, Rolling Stone, GQ, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Inc., Yahoo Finance, Mashable, The Guardian, Vanity Fair, TechCrunch, VentureBeat, AP News, Daily Mail, Financial Times, and many more. The full publication list is at badenbower.com/available-options.
Most articles go live within 7–14 days of the client approving the draft. Some outlets publish within 72 hours of approval. The full process from strategy call to live article is typically 2–3 weeks. Subsequent placements within a plan are generally faster because the client questionnaire and story angle are already established.
Baden Bower produces five editorial formats: editorial features, interview profiles, thought leadership pieces, company announcements, and comparison articles. Each is written by an experienced journalist — not AI-generated content — and reviewed by the client before submission. The format is selected based on the client's goals and the target publication's editorial style.
Clients receive a full money-back refund. The refund policy is written into every client agreement before payment is made. It applies to every plan and every named publication. There are no exceptions and no partial refunds — if the named placement doesn't go live, the full amount is returned. Full terms and conditions →
