Get Featured in Maxim: Guaranteed Full Feature or Editorial Pitch (2026)

The best way to get featured in Maxim from the UK in 2026 is a named, editorial feature. Maxim is the men’s lifestyle title that covers cars, watches, travel, whisky, style, sport and the entrepreneurs behind luxury brands, with a print magazine and Maxim.com. It is also one of the few premium men’s titles where a guaranteed full feature can be placed. This page explains the audience, the guaranteed route with its real timeline, and the editorial pitch for stories that fit the magazine’s own coverage.

Maxim in 2026: what it is and who reads it

Maxim launched in the UK in 1995 and became a global men’s brand, with the US edition its centre of gravity today. It has been owned by Biglari Holdings since 2014, which repositioned it towards luxury: supercars, private aviation, watches, spirits, real estate, fashion and profiles of founders and athletes. The audience is predominantly male, 25 to 54, affluent and interested in buying the things it reads about. Maxim.com has a Moz Domain Authority of 85 and licensed editions publish in a number of countries.

Route one: a guaranteed full feature on Maxim.com

Through our publishing partners we place a full-length feature on Maxim.com. Our writers produce it in Maxim’s voice, you approve the copy, the publisher’s editors apply house style, and it goes live labelled as sponsored or partner content in line with the site’s rules, with a do-follow link to your website. The publisher’s production time is one to three weeks; we quote an outside date of three to five weeks from copy approval so edits and scheduling never make us late.

This route suits luxury and lifestyle brands, spirits, watches, automotive, travel and property, and founders who want a profile in a title their customers respect. It is not suitable for anything that contradicts the magazine’s standards or for regulated claims we cannot support.

Route two: the editorial pitch

Maxim’s editors commission profiles, product stories and features from the same categories. They respond to exclusives (a first drive, a first look at a watch or a whisky release), strong photography and people with a story. Editorial coverage cannot be bought and we never present the guaranteed route as editorial.

What Maxim readers stop for in 2026

  • A car, watch, boat, jet or property with a specific claim: fastest, first, rarest, most expensive.
  • A spirit or cigar with provenance and a founder who can tell the story.
  • Travel that is hard to get: private islands, members’ clubs, expeditions.
  • Founders and athletes who have built something readers aspire to own.
  • Style with a point of view rather than a catalogue.

How the guaranteed route works

  1. Brief call to agree angle, images and the page you want linked.
  2. Draft for approval, written to Maxim’s tone, within a week of the brief.
  3. Submission and house edits by the publisher’s team.
  4. Live URL delivered with a screenshot and advice on using the feature in your own channels.

Before you pitch, read recent stories on the Maxim website to see which sections and writers fit your story, then use our guide on how to pitch a journalist to shape your approach.
