TreelinePress is a media and advisory firm serving the customer communications market (CCM). It covers topics like digital transformation, AI, print/mail, regulation, and enterprise technology, while also tracking adjacent spaces like martech, CX, fintech, and workflow automation.
Beyond just reporting, it helps organizations actively participate in industry conversations through sponsored content, research, interviews, event coverage, and advisory services — connecting their announcements and thought leadership to a broader market narrative. The goal is to position each client's perspective in a way that's credible and relevant to the industry.
TreelinePress captures where the market is going, where traditional CCM becomes legacy and strategic customer communication moves to the center of the experience. The traditional CCM ecosystem will have to work and design this New Frontier.

Typical starting point: $5,000
Content may be distributed through Substack, LinkedIn, YouTube, the TreelinePress website, industry publications, sponsor channels, and other relevant media outlets.
