See ya later, Henri! I’m hustling on deadlines today and trying to get ahead so I can have a summer Friday without stress. A few pressing queries, links, and job listings below. Btw, here’s an example of the Taste of Home useful product features to keep in mind for pitching that weekly column.
Story queries:
RD.com/Readers’ Digest: Rounding up the best ways to store/preserve leftovers that ARE NOT FOIL. So, def don’t pitch aluminum foil, but DO pitch things like reusable stasher-style bags, silicone tops, glass jars with silicone or plastic lids, rubbermaid style containers, etc. The catch? MUST have an Amazon link + loads of great reviews (500+, which should be easy for items like these). Deadline is tomorrow AM for pitches. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
RetailMeNot: This one is from Aly Walansky, “Rounding up affordable hoodies for men and women available at major online retailers. Ideally Amazon, but open to other major retailers too. Must be under $50, and pitches need to be received this week.” alywalansky@gmail.com
Job openings:
Katie Hammond’s lifestyle agency in LA is seeking help! “Does anyone on the PR side specialize in food and CPG” she asked in Sharing Opps. “We are looking for a freelance publicist to join our dream on a project basis to help support pitching on a few brands.” katie@thelastlayer.co
Digital Associate Editor gig at TravelandLeisure.com is open. Grab that, go places at some point.
Also, because loads of you loved the Dunkin Cinnamania coffee I posted yesterday, here’s my other favorite that honestly everyone needs to know about— this genius cold brew coffee maker that works with just about every coffee you have + is a lifesaver on a hot day.
P.S. Yesterday was the first time we hit over 2K reads on one of these newsletters, so thank you for spreading the word to your colleagues and friends. I’m doing my best to make these mutually useful! If there’s something you’d like to see more, just holler.
These make me happy, that's all :) Thank you!!
