WE’RE BACK. We know that you may have seen us grooving around here in past months, and whilst we are continually grateful to the incredible number of readers we have dotted around Australia and beyond, we bit off a bit more than we could chew with our original Pozible campaign. But don't think we're letting that stop our goal of getting a tangible copy of PITCH into the hands of our readers! With a revised target and rad new rewards, we have a good feeling about this one. Have a read of what we’re about, it’s all for you…
PITCH is an independently run online magazine, featuring emerging creative talent from the fields of fashion, art, photography and graphic and product design. With a fundamental goal of transforming the unknown to the artistically acclaimed, PITCH aims to bring to light the best and brightest in the creative biz from Australia and beyond.
From what started as a passion project three years ago, to what has now become a dedicated full-time publication profiling the wickedly talented global contributors of fashion, art and design, our main goal has always been to find a home for those craving a voice as loud and as strong as their skills.
With a strikingly minimal and uniquely off-beat perspective, the PITCH readership has swelled in numbers since its inception - a response to the mutual aesthetic vision of the PITCH team and its multifaceted, multicultural and multidisciplinary following. Through utilising the globally accessible social media platforms of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to propel it into new surroundings, the PITCH brand is now bursting at the seams with an ever increasing amount of new and exciting talent seeking involvement. But we can’t support this acceleration alone.
With the launch of a print edition on the horizon, PITCH is seeking more than your creative input in turning this goal into one heck of a reality. Some may say we’re doing things backwards by starting with digital and transitioning into print, but we say onwards and upwards. We are now more inspired than ever to turn what we are passionate about at PITCH into a tangible object to join the print media circuit and represent the best of what we are about. Making this transition is no small feat when creativity is called on to match business brawn. But if creativity can teach us anything, it’s that evolving is the key to vitality. By bringing PITCH into a different media field, we aim to exceed the generalised expectations of creativity losing out against facts and figures. We want both, and we need you to do it!
“I love PITCH and everything they do. I feel like it's really going to go BANG! Such quality, such love, such taste; the editorials are so polished and considered and representative of the feel of each label they choose to collaborate with. The art direction, site and blog, and just the general choice of who and what interesting things to feature, with the stand out element of design all make PITCH a really exciting publication.”
ー Emilie Cacace, Textile Designer, Andeòl
“My favourite thing about PITCH is that it brings curated international talent together in one place. As creative director, I am avidly searching the European market for design influence and inspiration to bring to our practise in Australia. Christie, the founder of PITCH has a fantastic eye and the work published on PITCH is a strong extension and credit to their brand.”
ー Elli Zacharowitz, Creative Director, Studio Alté
“As being part of the generation-T(umblr), it isn't easy to come across such a focused variety of consistently beautiful surprises, with also well researched interviews that PITCH provides. I am excited to see it grow and push into the next level.”
ー Paul Jung, Photographer, Artist & Agency NY
“PITCH is an amazing platform to work with. It’s so great to work with a fashion and arts publication that wants to support emerging designers in a meaningful way. The content on PITCH is always highly considered and thoughtful as they clearly communicate the artist’s message in an engaging way, plus it is fun and interesting to read.”
ー Garth Cook, Fashion Designer & 2014 International Woolmark Prize nominee
Who are we?
A unique alternative to traditional online media, PITCH provides readers with a range of unique fashion editorials, well-formulated articles and profiles and daily industry updates from the realms of fashion, art and design mediums, all produced with a dedication to interdisciplinary collaboration.
Where are we?
PITCH is based in Brisbane, Queensland, with core team members also based in Australia’s creative capitals, Sydney and Melbourne. Our online residences - www.pitchzine.com and http://pitch-present.com - is where you can familiarise yourself with our vibe, as well as take a peek at our talented contributors from around the globe.
What is our crowdfunding goal?
To bring you a rockin’ print issue of everything we believe in and aesthetically reflect at PITCH. But to bring this to the table, we will need around $5500, and that’s where you come in!
PITCH is not seeking to bring you a standard publication that you can put down just as easily as you pick up. We’re formulating a new kind of magazine, a tangible object that enthrals you with design and imagery that fascinates the imagination.
Where will you be able to see your pledges at PITCH?
By making a pledge towards the PITCH ANNUAL #001, you’ll be able to see how you’ve helped in more than just one area. Aside from helping with the process of producing a print issue, you’ll be assisting with shipping costs, general overheads and ongoing website hosting for our digital home and budgets for editorial content (both print and online) resulting in an increased amount of daily content available to you.
We made it!
With only a few more days to go, we have completed our target... Woohoo!
However, due to being printed in a limited run - the PITCH ANNUAL #001 is only available to pre-order through Pozible, so don't miss out!

How The Funds Will Be Used
By making a pledge towards the PITCH ANNUAL #001, you’ll be able to see how you’ve helped in more than just one area.
Aside from helping with the process of producing a print issue, you’ll be assisting with shipping costs, general overheads and ongoing website hosting for our digital home, as well as budgets for editorial content (both print and online) resulting in an increased amount of daily content available to you.
Not only will your pledge help in the production of our first print edition, but it will also come in handy when re-launching the PITCH brand with an updated vision for the digital sphere. With the unveiling of a refreshed online facade towards the end of 2014, PITCH will be looking to celebrate these two exciting developments with a rad shindig. And what better way to toast a cool new thing than with a drink or three, cool tunes and open doors to share with our supporters?
The Challenges
As with most creative pursuits, PITCH faces a few tricky turns along its path to paperback territory. Transitioning from a digital space into print proves a challenge from the get-go – believe us, we’ve already come into our fair share of obstacles – as it's not how things are generally done these days, but we're not letting that stop us. At the same time, we have to keep our eye on a few things.
The current economy of the creative industries has been a topic of lengthy discussion for a while now. Along with this dialogue arises the question of 'why' when it comes to launching into print media if a strong digital presence already exists. The answer is simple and doesn't require lengthy debate. All it requires is an understanding that print and digital media, whilst it may not have been once, is now again being recognised as a package deal. A mutual presence of both the online and physical in the creative industries is coming back around, and we're excited to be a part of it!
