It is an exciting day at Pursuitist! Below is our press release, hitting the wire later this afternoon. Today, we’re officially launching the Pursuitist Influencers Network — with our New York-based partner Hashtag Labs (clients include BoingBoing, TV Guide, Greatist and more). Details below.

In addition to developing high impact digital advertising solutions, we are creating real world events and experiences with the right influencers. Objectives and deliverables are established prior — if that involves our influencers and journalists creating articles, videos for YouTube or live sharing their experiences on social channels. From our platform, brands will actually receive a ROI and brand impact with the right affluent audience.

At Pursuitist, we have been building the correct affluent audience since 2010. Per our demographics, pictured below, our readers are grad school educated executives in their mid-30’s with a yearly household income of over $150K. We know how to find the right readers that can actually afford luxury cars, high-end products and travel experiences.

Thank you for joining us in the Pursuit,

Christopher Parr, Pursuitist Founder and CEO
