Frequently asked

Press & Profiles, in plain terms.

How long until first coverage?

Three to five months for earned editorial, assuming there is a genuine story. Faster is usually paid placement wearing editorial clothes.

Should we use a press release?

Rarely. Releases work for regulatory and financial announcements. For founder stories, an individually written approach to a specific journalist works far better.

What about paid articles?

They are legitimate when disclosed as paid, and they do not carry the credibility of earned coverage. We will tell you when a paid route is honest and useful, and when it is money burnt.

In more depth

Coverage that keeps working.

A claim, not a milestone

Funding rounds and product launches are announcements, and most get a paragraph. A founder profile is built on a claim about the market that a journalist finds worth testing.

The record outlasts the reach

A profile in a publication your buyers read appears in due diligence, in candidate research and in journalist background checks for years. The traffic spike lasts a week; the record does not.

Trade press often beats national

For most B2B founders, the trade title your buyers actually read produces more pipeline than a national business daily mention that impresses your family.

Relationships before you need them

Journalists you have helped with a story before you had something to sell take your call. Ones you approach cold when you need coverage usually do not.
