01 · Four kinds of piece

Four kinds of piece. One standard.

Every number is checked against a source that is named. Buyer's premium is stated. Photography is ours unless credited. You receive words, pictures and video you can run under your masthead or ours, and we carry them to our own readers and to distribution partners picked for the story.

700 to 1,500 words

Auction reports

Every lot matched to its catalogue estimate across houses, with sell-through and the lots that moved the market, not only the headline car.

Words, stills, short video

Event coverage

Concours and vintage racing covered from the ground: Pebble Beach, The Quail, the Reunion, Amelia Island, ModaMiami, Goodwood Revival, Rétromobile.

Features

Car features

Low-volume debuts, significant restorations and collections written from the stand or the workshop, with the provenance and the people.

30 to 90 seconds

Short film

Reels and Shorts cut on the floor: stands, paddocks, staging lanes and the cars being loaded out.

02 · How an assignment runs

Brief, ground, delivery.

One editor on the piece from the brief to the final file. No account layer.

1

Brief

The event or the car, the angle you need, the word count, the formats and the deadline. A phone call or one email is enough.

2

On the ground

Accredited at the event or on site with the car. Our own photography and video. Numbers taken from the catalogue and the results sheet, not the press release.

3

Delivery

Copy, edited stills and cut video in one folder. Published through our own channels, the newsletter, and distribution partners chosen for the story, named in the proposal with their audiences.

03 · Selected work

What it looks like when it runs.
