Editors-in-chief advice vs Editors-in-chief's advice

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Editors-in-chief advice' is incorrect because it lacks the possessive form needed to show that the advice belongs to the editors-in-chief. 'Editors-in-chief's advice' is the correct form, indicating that the advice is possessed by the editors-in-chief.
