Digital PR

Good digital PR starts with something genuinely worth reporting. We develop credible stories from expertise, data, research and real business activity, identify the journalists and publications for whom those stories are relevant, and conduct targeted outreach without buying editorial links or promising coverage we cannot control.

In short

Earn relevant coverage, citations and links by creating genuinely newsworthy data, expertise and assets.

  • Story-led and evidence-backed
  • Earned coverage, never guaranteed placement
  • Relevance and business impact over raw coverage volume
01Outcomes

PR objectives.

These are the objectives we agree and measure against. We do not publish performance figures we cannot evidence.

Relevant earned coverage

Secure editorial attention from publications and journalists relevant to the audience and subject.

Independent visibility

Increase credible third-party references to the organisation, its expertise, research or activities.

Editorial links

Earn relevant links where publishers independently decide that linking to the source improves their coverage.

Expert positioning

Create legitimate opportunities for knowledgeable people within the business to contribute useful commentary.

Commercial contribution

Measure referral traffic, branded demand, enquiries or other business outcomes where sufficient evidence connects them to PR activity.

02The Problem

Why PR campaigns fall flat.

01

Nothing genuinely newsworthy

A company announcement or marketing message is not automatically a media story. The campaign needs evidence, relevance, timeliness, novelty, expertise or another credible reason for an editor to care.

02

Coverage without audience relevance

A long list of unrelated publications may increase the coverage count while contributing little to reputation, referral traffic, customer awareness or the campaign's actual objective.

03

No expert-response capability

Reactive PR only works when a credible spokesperson can respond quickly with a useful, supportable perspective. Opportunities disappear when approval and expert access take too long.

04

Outputs mistaken for outcomes

Counting articles and links alone does not show whether PR changed awareness, generated relevant traffic, supported search visibility or contributed to enquiries and opportunities.

04Scope

The PR scope.

Story and angle development

Identify credible angles from expertise, business activity, market change, customer patterns, research or data rather than inventing novelty after the fact.

Research and evidence development

Develop surveys, datasets, analysis, indexes or expert material where appropriate, documenting sources, methodology, calculations and limitations so the story remains defensible.

Media targeting and outreach

Identify journalists and publications whose existing coverage makes the story relevant, then pitch them individually with the evidence and source material required to assess it.

Expert commentary

Prepare credible spokespeople and, where reactive PR is included in scope, respond to suitable opportunities with timely, useful commentary.

Source assets

Create supporting pages, reports, visuals or datasets that journalists can inspect and readers can reference directly.

Measurement and learning

Separate campaign outputs from audience and commercial outcomes, then use the evidence to improve story selection, targeting and future campaigns.

05Methodology

How campaigns run.

Stage 01

Discover

Identify credible stories, data, expertise and relevant external events.

Stage 02

Validate

Check claims, source material, methodology, evidence and whether the proposed story is genuinely defensible.

Stage 03

Build

Prepare the research, source asset, expert commentary and supporting materials journalists may need.

Stage 04

Pitch and respond

Conduct targeted outreach and respond to relevant opportunities within the agreed PR scope.

Stage 05

Evaluate

Assess coverage quality, links, referral behaviour, audience response and commercial outcomes without presenting correlation as proof of causation.

06Deliverables

What you receive.

How success is measured

  • Relevant earned coverage by publication and audience fit
  • Editorial links earned, including destination and link attributes
  • Referral traffic and behaviour from coverage
  • Brand and search-demand trends where useful, treated as contextual rather than automatically causal
  • Enquiries, opportunities or conversions attributable to PR where tracking permits
  • Expert citations and journalist engagement where those are campaign objectives
  • Campaign outputs separated from audience outcomes and business impact
  • PR opportunity and story development
  • Research methodology and supporting evidence where relevant
  • Source assets, data or expert materials
  • Targeted media list and outreach programme
  • Spokesperson or commentary framework where required
  • Coverage and earned-link reporting
  • Referral and commercial-impact reporting where measurable
  • Campaign learning and next-step recommendations
07Fit

Who this is for.

A strong fit

  • Businesses with data, expertise or a distinctive perspective
  • Companies competing for relevant national or sector media attention
  • Brands that can support claims with credible evidence or expert input
  • Organisations with spokespeople available to comment where reactive PR is required

Probably not the right fit

  • Businesses wanting guaranteed coverage or link counts per month
  • Anyone expecting paid placements to be presented as earned editorial
08Evidence

How we evidence our work.

We have no published case studies for this service yet, and we will not invent them. This is the standard our work is held to instead.

01

Baseline before work begins

Visibility, traffic quality, conversion and enquiry volume are recorded before anything changes, so improvement is provable rather than asserted.

02

Documented method

Every change is logged with the reasoning behind it — you can always see what was done, when, and why.

03

Reporting against agreed measures

We report on the commercial measures set at the outset, including the ones that did not move.

04

Published only when verifiable

Client outcomes appear on this site only once they are real, measurable and approved by the client.
