Defining Works

Strategic Pitch Guidance

1. Wellness-Travel Synergies

Halliwell frequently examines how luxury travel operators integrate holistic health programs. A recent analysis of Maldives wellness resorts demonstrated her interest in evidence-based therapies combined with five-star service. Pitches should emphasize clinical research partnerships or innovative recovery technologies within high-end tourism.

2. Beauty Industry Disruptors

Her coverage of clean skincare lines focuses on Australian brands achieving global distribution. Successful pitches highlight unique ingredient sourcing stories or clinical trial results, particularly for products targeting stress-related aging.

3. Cancer Survivorship Narratives

Following her memoir, Halliwell seeks stories about balancing treatment with career/parenting. Pitches require sensitivity and focus on systemic support structures rather than individual heroics.
