How to Get Featured on International Business Times
International Business Times gives you global business news reach and a recognizable name for a press page or LinkedIn profile, useful specifically because its international audience and syndicated reach extend well beyond a single country’s business press. A company announcing an international expansion or a cross-border partnership is a natural fit for the kind of global business story IBTimes covers. Your story can reach its pages either through a pitch to an IBTimes editor or through wire syndication that republishes a distributed release across its network — we’ll tell you honestly which path is actually producing your placement.
How International Business Times placement actually works
Often via syndication
International Business Times coverage comes through a mix of direct editorial pitching and wire syndication pickup — we’ll tell you honestly which path is producing your placement rather than let the distinction blur. A direct editorial pitch depends on a story with real cross-border or global business relevance and is written and vetted by an IBTimes journalist; syndicated pickup republishes a distributed release largely as written and is faster and more predictable, but it’s a different kind of placement. Editorial pitches can take several weeks with no guarantee; syndicated placements typically go live within days of distribution being scheduled.
Why founders want this specific outlet
- A recognizable trust badge for your website
- Credibility slide for a pitch deck or investor update
- A real, citable link for marketing and social
Whether you’re a startup founder building an investor narrative, a SaaS brand courting enterprise buyers, an e-commerce brand building consumer trust, or a consultant establishing authority, a International Business Times link does real work in each of those contexts.
What International Business Times editors actually look for
International Business Times’s editors evaluate pitches the way most working journalists do: is this genuinely new, is it relevant to our readers, and is there a real story here beyond a company announcement? The pitches that succeed lead with the news in the first sentence, come from a single point of contact, and include everything a reporter needs — quotes, data, and context — without requiring back-and-forth just to understand the story.
We build every pitch to that standard before it goes out, whether the outlet is a household name or a respected trade publication.

The value of International Business Times coverage for your audience
For founders and brand teams building a credibility case for investors, partners, or enterprise customers, a placement at International Business Times adds an independent, third-party data point that a company’s own marketing can’t replicate — genuine editorial coverage carries weight precisely because the outlet chose to run it.
Whether you’re a startup founder, a SaaS team, an e-commerce brand, or an independent consultant, the underlying value is the same: a real, citable link from a recognized outlet that you can put in front of the audience that matters most to your next deal.
