Hi,
I'm looking to get out some content with links (in the UK financial vertical) via sponsored guest posts, featured articles and etc.

Can you recommend some providers (site/blog owners) or agencies (with connections/lists to sites we can publish on) that can help in that matter?

if you've been hit by penguin, and not recovered yet, I personally wouldn't go to any network that allows itself to be recommended publicly

One obvious suggestion would be for you to check the backlinks of your top performing competitors and approach those website owners.

I'm not looking for a network but some individual publishers or an agency that have already build a list with publishers (not connected in any way) willing to publish a guest post or a featured article.

This is standard media outreach, nothing to hide.

If some provider/agency has to remain private, there is always a PM 

If you find any I'd love to know too

Same here! It would be extremely useful to have publishers gathered on one website and be able to submit articles.

BST.. welcome back BTW.

Quite a few actually.

BST posted in 2012.  The thread was brought back from the depths by a new member, Jago.

Welcome Jago, please tell us a bit about yourself in this thread.

well well.. thanks for pointing that out LM.

I thought old topics just generally died.

Some times they don't even fade away
http://th3core.com/talk/water-coolerextra/terminator-scenario/ - that one is soon to celebrate its sixth birthday!

Yes true.. It keeps being fed though.  One day.. or night when I cannot sleep, I will read it from start to finish.  

And how rude of me, welcome Jago.

I have to say, getting anywhere with media is still as difficult as it used to be.

That terminator thread actually goes way back to the old private board, it is probably at least ten years old.  It has morphed a bit though, before it was all about how the bots were going to kill us, now we seem to talk more about how they are going to make us irrelevant.

I'd rather be dead than irrelevant!

I got an email from a guy that gets posts/links on things like huff post etc, is that the kind of thing you mean ?

Irrelevant may be to strong of a word, unless you equate work with personhood.  What I was specifically talking about is how that thread has more recently highlighted the coming mass-unemployment due to automation and artificial intelligence.
