PR services earn media coverage and manage how the press and public see a brand, using press releases, journalist outreach, expert commentary, thought leadership and crisis support. Unlike advertising, the coverage is earned rather than bought, which is why readers trust it.
Our PR team works next to our SEO services team. Every campaign is planned for two results at once: coverage that builds reputation and links that build search authority. That is what digital PR means in practice.
Earned coverage now carries a third result. AI answer engines such as ChatGPT and Perplexity draw on the publications they already trust, so a brand named in respected coverage is more likely to be named in AI answers too.
We never pay for placements or promise coverage we cannot control. We promise the work: strong stories, targeted pitches to named journalists and honest reporting on what landed and what did not.

07 / Proof
PR Case Study
This case study shows how media outreach, sequenced before social and paid, earned 18 pieces of coverage for a new opening.
Hospitality groupHospitality
18 pieces of launch coverage in one month
Challenge
A new opening had no press relationships in the city and needed to sell out its first month with no existing audience.
What we did
A launch story built around the founder and the venue's first-week events, pitched to city, food and lifestyle journalists, then amplified through short-form video and paid social.
These answers cover what buyers ask before they hire a PR agency, including how PR is measured and what it costs.
What do PR services include?
Our PR services include digital PR campaigns, media relations, press releases, thought leadership and bylines, reactive expert commentary, product launches, crisis communications and reputation monitoring.
Most retainers combine a proactive campaign every few months with ongoing reactive work in between. Proactive campaigns create the story, while reactive PR answers journalist requests and breaking news with your experts' comment, often landing coverage within days.
What is the difference between PR and digital PR?
Traditional PR focuses on coverage and reputation, while digital PR also targets online coverage that links back to your site. We run both together, because the same story can do both jobs.
A data study might earn a national newspaper feature (reputation), a link from that feature to your research page (search authority) and a mention that AI answer engines pick up (AI visibility). Planning for all three at the start costs little extra and multiplies what one campaign returns.
How do you measure PR results?
We measure PR by placements, the authority of the sites covering you, links earned, referral traffic and branded search, reported every month.
Each placement is listed with its publication, date, link status and the page it points to. Branded search volume and AI citations are tracked alongside, because rising brand searches are one of the clearest signs that coverage is reaching buyers.
Do you guarantee media coverage?
No. Journalists decide what they publish, so no honest PR agency guarantees coverage. We guarantee strong stories, targeted outreach and full reporting on every pitch.
Where guaranteed placements are sold, they are usually sponsored content or advertorials. Those can have a place, but they are paid media, and they should be labelled and priced as such rather than dressed up as earned coverage.
What should I look for when hiring a PR agency?
Look for a PR agency that shows recent live coverage, names the journalists and titles it would target and explains how it measures results. A glossy deck without live placement links tells you very little.
Ask what counts as a result, how many campaigns you get each year, who pitches the stories and whether any placements are paid. Ask how PR connects to your SEO. Our answers: live placements and links reported monthly, named media lists built per campaign and no pay-for-placement.
How long does a PR campaign take?
A proactive PR campaign takes 4 to 6 weeks from story mining to outreach, and coverage usually lands in the weeks that follow. Reactive commentary can land within days.
Week one mines your data, archive and team for angles. Weeks two and three build the assets: data, visuals, quotes and a press release. Week three builds the media list, and outreach runs through weeks four to six, with follow-ups and interview requests handled for you.
Do you write press releases?
Yes. We write every press release like a news story, with the headline angle in the first sentence and quotes worth using.
Press releases are sent to named journalists with a personal pitch, not blasted to a wire service list. Releases are written by our PR team with support from our copywriting services team for longer bylines and thought leadership pieces.
Do you handle crisis communications?
Yes. We provide holding statements, media handling and recovery plans, and can respond the same day when something breaks.
Crisis support gives you a holding statement within hours, one spokesperson plan and a team handling every media call. After the immediate response, reputation monitoring tracks mentions and sentiment until the story settles.
Do you work with national, trade and international media?
Yes. We pitch to national and trade media across the markets our clients sell in, adapting the story for each one.
Trade press often matters more than national titles for B2B brands, because it reaches the exact buyers in a sector. The media list for each campaign is built around where your buyers read, not around the biggest names.
How much do PR services cost?
PR cost depends on the number of campaigns, how much reactive work you need and how many markets you target. You get a fixed monthly fee before you sign.
PR runs on a Growth Retainer with a 6-month minimum, then rolls monthly with 30 days' notice, or as a single fixed-scope campaign. A single launch campaign suits a product or opening with a clear date.
Do PR links help SEO?
Yes. Links from respected publications are among the strongest signals of authority, which is why our PR and SEO teams plan campaigns together.
Each campaign names the pages that most need authority, such as core service or category pages, and the story is built so linking to them makes sense for the journalist.
Can PR raise a founder's or executive's profile?
Yes. Founder profiles, bylined articles and expert commentary make your leaders the go-to voices in your sector.
We build a list of topics each spokesperson can speak on with authority, then match them to journalist requests and features. Interviews are prepared with briefing notes, so your team knows the angle before the call.
