Takeaways

  • In 2025, Farmiloe led Featured's acquisition and revival of HARO, modernizing one of the most iconic brands in media sourcing.
  • Featured connects subject-matter experts with publishers to create ready-to-publish Q&A content, the model that made HARO a natural fit.
  • Before Featured, Farmiloe founded Markitors, a digital marketing agency for small businesses he scaled and sold after 10 years, and ran Pursue the Passion, a national interview tour on career education.
  • The goal is the expert economy: democratizing access to media opportunities so anyone with expertise can be a source.

“Business owners have an abundance of knowledge, but no where to share it. That's why I created a platform where they could show up, and get rewarded for sharing their expertise.”
