What this is

National, trade and regional press worked as relationships rather than distribution lists. Fifteen journalists who take your call beat four hundred addresses.

What it looks like in practice

  • Journalist mapping by beat and by your buyer audience
  • Story angles built on a claim, not a milestone
  • Trade and regional press prioritised where they outperform
  • Exclusive and embargo strategy

Frequently asked

Media Relations, in plain terms.

Can you guarantee placements?

No. Guaranteed placement is paid placement, which is a legitimate but different product.

How is this measured?

Share of voice against named competitors, outlet quality against your buyer audience, search result composition, and attributable inbound.

What about the paid PR packages we get offered?

Widely sold in India and rarely effective. Buyers and journalists both recognise them.

In more depth

Relationships, not distribution lists.

Fifteen journalists beat four hundred addresses

A release blasted widely produces nothing. Coverage comes from a small number of reporters who cover your category and take your call.

Trade press usually outperforms national

A piece in the title your buyers read produces more pipeline than a national daily mention that impresses your board.

A story is a claim, not a milestone

Funding and launches get a paragraph. An argument about the market gets a feature.
