Editor's note
Owned & edited by Ishant Sharma.
I started the Machinist because the best marketing writing I kept reading was in DMs, Slack threads, and private agency newsletters — never on the open web. This publication is where I collect it.
Every pitch comes to my inbox. I read them myself, reply inside 72 hours, and edit every essay we publish. If you run an agency or lead marketing somewhere interesting, I'd like to hear from you.
