How to Get Your Brand Featured in Top Publications

By The Furniture Times – Bringing Furniture Brands into Global Spotlight

In today’s hyper-connected digital era, getting your brand featured in top publications is not just about visibility — it’s about credibility, trust, and authority. Whether you’re a furniture manufacturer, designer, retailer, or a startup making waves in sustainable design, media exposure can redefine how the world perceives your brand. But how can you capture the attention of editors, journalists, and readers across leading platforms like The Furniture Times and other global industry publications? Let’s explore the strategy, mindset, and actions that transform your brand from overlooked to unforgettable.

1. Build a Strong, Authentic Brand Story

Every great feature begins with a compelling story. Journalists and editors are constantly searching for narratives that inspire, educate, and engage their readers. Your brand story should go beyond products — it should reflect your purpose, mission, and journey.

For example, a furniture brand that began with the dream of preserving traditional craftsmanship while embracing sustainability has more emotional depth than one that simply sells tables and chairs. Highlight your struggles, innovations, milestones, and values — they make your brand relatable and human.

Tip: Focus on storytelling that evokes emotion and connects your brand to global challenges like sustainability, innovation, or cultural heritage.

2. Create Media-Ready Content

Editors love brands that make their job easier. Craft your pitch or press release like a professional journalist — concise, factual, and impactful. Provide:

• A captivating headline
• A clear summary of what makes your story newsworthy
• High-quality images of your products, team, and workspace
• Contact information and relevant links

Also, ensure your website and social media are up-to-date with consistent branding and professional visuals. A strong digital presence makes it easier for journalists to trust and feature your brand.

Pro Tip: Avoid overtly promotional content. Focus on the story’s value for readers — innovation, sustainability, craftsmanship, or design trends.

3. Build Relationships with Industry Publications

Getting featured isn’t just about sending one email — it’s about nurturing long-term relationships. Begin by following relevant journalists, editors, and publications like The Furniture Times, Dezeen, Interior Design Magazine, or Architectural Digest.

Engage with their posts, comment thoughtfully, and share their content. When you finally reach out, you won’t be a stranger — you’ll be a recognized name in their network.

Action Step: Create a list of top 20 global and regional publications in your industry. Engage weekly and build connections before pitching.

4. Offer Expert Insights and Industry Commentary

One of the most effective ways to get noticed by editors is by positioning yourself as an expert. Offer valuable insights on topics such as:

• Sustainable furniture production
• Future of modular design
• Digital transformation in retail
• Global furniture trade trends

Publications are always looking for credible voices to add depth to their articles. Your expertise could land you a guest column, interview, or feature story.

 Pro Tip: Pitch content ideas that address current industry discussions or data-backed insights.

5. Leverage the Power of Press Releases

Press releases are still one of the most direct ways to gain media attention — if done correctly. A strong press release focuses on:

• A clear angle (new product launch, event, innovation, award, or partnership)
• Facts, figures, and credibility
• A professional tone and structure

At The Furniture Times, we welcome well-written press releases that tell meaningful stories about innovation, craftsmanship, sustainability, and business success.

 Action Step: Submit your press release through The Furniture Times’ media section to reach global readers across the furniture industry.

6. Collaborate for Co-Features and Interviews

Collaboration is key to expanding your brand’s media reach. Partner with other brands, designers, or industry events for co-branded features or interviews. Being part of collaborative stories increases visibility and positions you alongside established names.

For example, joining features during international exhibitions like CIFF Guangzhou, MIFF Malaysia, or IMM Cologne can multiply your exposure to buyers and designers globally.

 Pro Tip: Apply for interviews with The Furniture Times — where we feature visionary entrepreneurs and innovators from across the furniture world.

7. Participate in Industry Events & Awards

Participation in global furniture expos, trade fairs, or awards often leads to press coverage. Publications frequently spotlight brands that make an impression at these events.
Events like Salone del Mobile Milano, Index Dubai, and China International Furniture Fair (CIFF) attract major media houses and industry influencers.

 Action Step: Showcase your latest innovations at global furniture events and share your story with The Furniture Times for possible post-event features.

8. Be Consistent with Your Media Efforts

Media visibility isn’t built overnight. Consistency is key.

• Publish updates regularly on your website.
• Maintain an active social media presence.
• Engage with journalists and editors frequently.

Consistency creates recall — when an editor looks for a furniture brand to feature, yours will be top of mind.

 Pro Tip: Establish a yearly media plan with scheduled press releases, stories, and collaborations.
