We work with travel, lifestyle and digital-nomad brands through sponsored blog features, affiliate partnerships, product reviews, social campaigns, and press or FAM trips.

Every collaboration is tailored, from long-form storytelling and SEO articles to short-form UGC or reels.

Send us a short proposal including your brand name, website, campaign goals, deliverables you have in mind, timeline, and budget range.

You can email contactus@closerlives.com or use the form on our Media & Partnerships page. The more detail you include, the faster we can confirm if it’s a fit.

We partner best with brands that genuinely serve modern travellers. Think sustainable stays, ethical experiences, smart tech, money-saving tools, travel gear, and wellness on the road.

If it helps our readers travel smarter, live freer, or feel more connected, we’re interested.

If your content doesn’t align with our audience or values, it will be declined politely.

Once we’ve reviewed your brief, we’ll confirm deliverables, fees, and a publication timeline.
