Financial services brands compete intensely for attention in national newspapers and money blogs. With limited column space and traditional outlets shrinking, they’re now pushing to break into glossy consumer and lifestyle titles to reach broader audiences. 

In this event, we are joined by Caroline Bloor, one of the most influential journalists translating money content into lifestyle media stories, and Kara Gammell, freelance financial journalist and editorial strategy lead MoneySupermarket, sharing their insights into:

• The appetite from lifestyle and consumer magazines for money stories
• The opportunities for FS brands
• How to work with top lifestyle publications + how to pitch to key titles
• What FS firms can do to bridge the gap to lifestyle titles + the influential freelancers that work for them
