For brands

Three ways to work with us.

Glow is read by 80,000 high-intent Australian beauty consumers a month. We sell three discrete commercial products. None of them touch our category rankings — that wall is documented and audited. The rest of this page is what we actually offer, what it costs, and what it has done for the brands who took it.

Three commercial tiers

Sponsored editorial. Newsletter. Brand residency.

Each tier is clearly labelled, editorially walled-off, and capped — sponsored content is never more than 15% of total monthly editorial. We earn the right to recommend by saying no to most of the brands who ask.

Tier 01

Sponsored editorial.

A long-form story produced by Glow's commerce team in collaboration with your brand. Strategic, on-brief, and visually labelled "Sponsored by [brand]" at the top. Excluded from all category rankings.

  • Hero image and three in-line images supplied by brand
  • Cross-promotion in one Glow Edit newsletter send
  • One social-media share card (1080×1350)
  • Live for 12 months minimum, archived permanently

Tier 02

Newsletter placement.

Brand consulting · By invitation

The boutique consulting practice that grew out of the publication.

The publication has, over the last twelve years, developed a deep view of what works in the Australian beauty market. Which positioning lasts. Which pricing tiers convert. Which packaging signals trust. Which retailer relationships compound.

That view is the basis of Glow's small consulting practice. We work with four to six non-conflicting Australian beauty brands at a time, on a six-month minimum engagement, providing editorial-grade strategic advice on positioning, brand voice, pricing architecture, and category entry. We do not work with brands we are also reviewing during the engagement, or for twelve months after.

The practice is led personally by Jackson Morice and supported by relevant Glow editors as advisors on category-specific questions. Every engagement is bespoke. We turn down most enquiries.

What we cover.

  • Brand positioning architecture
  • Category entry strategy
  • Pricing tier and packaging review
  • Founder positioning and editorial voice
  • Retailer pitch-deck development
  • PR launch strategy and timing
  • Editorial calendar guidance

What working with us has done

Three recent partner outcomes.

Each of these is anonymised at the partner's request, but verifiable on a call if you'd like a reference.

Sponsored editorial · Wellness

An Australian collagen brand tripled direct-site conversion in eight weeks.

Outcome3.1× direct-site conversion lift attributable to the sponsored editorial period. Permanent search-traffic uplift on the brand keyword set.

The feature was a long-form piece on the founder's clinical evidence approach. Read by 14,000 Glow readers in the first month. Recirculated in the newsletter. Cited by two journalists who later wrote independent brand profiles.

Brand residency · Skincare

A six-month residency built full-funnel brand awareness for an Aussie SPF launch.

OutcomeBrand mentioned in 23 third-party publications during the residency window — many of which cited Glow's editorial coverage as the discovery point.

Six months of structured editorial: one founder profile, three sponsored features, six newsletter placements. The brand's launch quarter was their highest revenue quarter to date. Full residency runback in development.
