Inaugural cohort on The Record · Open for applications

Apply to be on the record.

Three ways to join the media network for Jacksonville's growth economy. Choose your path.

Looking for ways to help beyond these four paths? See the five ways to support →

Before you apply

Editorial coverage is free. We do not charge businesses to be featured.

Sponsors and event tickets fund the production. Microsoft sponsored advisor.tv during the Chicago era and never crossed into editorial influence. That standard holds for every sponsor on the network. Curation is the only filter. If you do not pass it, no amount of money changes that.

Path one

Nominate a business for The Record.

Add a Jacksonville growth business you respect. The editorial team reviews every nomination. If accepted, a profile is drafted and the business is notified to claim it. The first 100 named are honored as The Inaugural Jacksonville 100 at the 2026 gala.

We respond to every nomination within 7 days.

Path two

Apply to host one of our shows.

Three shows are casting hosts. Capital + Coast for wealth + family office + PE. House Calls for healthcare + life sciences. Growth Code for marketing + revenue + sales. We're looking for established operators with deep verticals and access to high quality guests.

We respond to every application within 14 days.

Path four

Claim your business on The Record.

Your business is on advisor.tv. Claim it to confirm the details, update the story, and stay current. We verify every claim within 3 business days. If your email matches the business domain, we may auto-approve.

Claims are private. We do not publish claimant information on your profile.

Use your business email so we can verify quickly.

Frequently asked

Questions we get.

Is there a cost to be featured?

No. Editorial coverage on advisor.tv is free. We do not charge businesses to be featured. Sponsors and event tickets fund the production.

What is The Jacksonville 100?

The annual awards list. The 100 Jacksonville businesses on The Record honored each year at the Fall gala. The Inaugural Jacksonville 100 is open for nominations now.

When does advisor.tv premiere?

2026. Z to A, the anchor show, premieres in the Fall. The Build with Brad Hettich premieres in Q1. The Inaugural Jacksonville 100 gala is planned for Fall 2026.

Can I nominate someone else's business?

Yes, and we encourage it. Some of the strongest businesses on The Record will be nominated by their peers, not by themselves. We'll reach out to the business to confirm.

I am a sponsor. Do I have any editorial influence?

No. Microsoft sponsored advisor.tv during the Chicago era for years and never crossed into editorial. The same standard holds for every sponsor. Coverage is editorial. Sponsorship is sponsorship.

What if I don't hear back?

We respond to every submission. Check your spam folder first. If 14 days have passed for a nomination or host application (or 5 business days for a sponsor inquiry), email us directly and we will follow up.

How do you curate?

Three filters. Growth (is the business growing in revenue, team, footprint, or impact). Story (is there something genuinely interesting in how the business is being built). Impact (does the business shape its industry or category). All three must be true.
