about
what is saloon?
saloon is a club that exists both irl and online through this newsletter and our by-admission-only group chat. it was created to narrow your networking sphere to a vetted group of talent, to work cross-collaboratively, share and find opportunities, and meet others in their existing and desired fields.
we’re putting editors, writers, brands, PR, creators, brand marketers, event managers, restaurant/bar owners, & so many more in one space. we’re eliminating the need for cold emails, misfired pitches, last-minute venue panic, and creating a space for people to locate exactly what they need from their community.
we’re cultivating a group of vetted talent to work collaboratively.
this is a symbiotic space to take your ask or idea from its genesis to its execution.
who else is in saloon?
our network includes founders and representatives from outlets like Vox, NY Mag, NBC, Architectural Digest, Bon Appetit, GQ, brands like Glossier, Brooklinen, Graza, reputable PR firms like KCD and Cultural Counsel, as well as editors, chefs, writers, and influencers. you can see a full list of our members here. by joining, you have access to opportunities and ideas from these reps as they formulate.
how it works
a chatroom of carefully selected creatives, industry professionals, and collaborators inform our paid newsletter ($7/month!) about the job opportunities, gigs, events, and partnerships happening in/all around us! the newsletter provides the creme de la creme of these opportunities with direct contact information (+ discounts and exclusive event invites!). here’s an example of an unpaywalled newsletter so you can get the gist.
the best part? it circumvents the impervious qualities of the job & gig market by allowing representatives from our community to post directly about opportunities at places like Vox, Conde Nast, NY Mag, Brooklinen, SquareSpace, Glossier, Graza, (our full members list here) and give their contact for reference.
wanna join the group chat?
paid subscribers are eligible for Discord access (pending a brief review!) and will have access to the entire newsletter. this tier comes with all the job & gig opportunities circulating in the chat, media requests for interview contacts (at pubs like Elle, Cosmo, NY Mag, The Strategist, etc.), exclusive event invites, and partnership calls, all with direct contact information to the source so you can make the connection.
what industries are included?
although we’re heavy in select industries—media & pr, fashion, beauty, food & bev, photo and design—we’re always happy to expand to different categories. at the moment, we have a “miscellaneous” category as well, for people working in indefinite spaces!
what’s the catch…
we are keeping things slightly exclusive so as to create the best interior experience for our community—we want to make sure those that are part of our community are legitimately interested in advancing or improving their business, whatever that may be, and want to create a safe and welcoming environment so that our community feels saloon consistently holds valuable contacts, opportunities, and experiences!
