Earn the trust your category rewards.

Overview

What modern PR looks like

PR is not press releases anymore. It is the discipline of shaping how your category talks about you, so that journalists, buyers, and Google all arrive at the same conclusion about what you stand for.

Modern PR is a stack: digital PR for earned links, founder thought leadership for narrative, HARO and expert commentary for authority, and monitoring so nothing gets missed. Done together, every ranking, every ad, and every sales call gets easier.

Why it matters

Why brand is the compounding layer

SEO and paid work harder when your name is already trusted. Brand is what makes everything else cheaper.

Earned links Google respects

A single link from a real publication moves rankings more than a hundred directory submissions. We chase the former.

Trust before the sales call

When a prospect has seen your name in the outlets they read, the sales conversation starts halfway to closed.

Talent, capital, and category

PR shapes who applies to your job posts, who returns your investor emails, and how analysts describe your category.

Coverage that builds reputation, not just clippings.

We engineer stories, place them in the publications that shape your category, and turn earned media into compounding brand equity.

Let's talk

Our approach

Our brand and PR approach

Positioning first, then story, then outreach. Everything else is noise.

  1. 01Step 1

    Position

    A written narrative document naming who you are for, who you are against, and what you stand for.

  2. 02Step 2

    Story

    A quarterly roster of story angles, data studies, and founder viewpoints reporters will actually cover.

  3. 03Step 3

    Pitch

    Personalised outreach to journalists and podcasters on your beat, tracked with response and coverage rates.

  4. 04Step 4

    Amplify

    Coverage is turned into on-site pages, sales collateral, and social proof, not left as a screenshot in a Slack channel.

Deliverables

What's included

A senior-led program built around earned coverage, not paid placements.

Digital PR & link-earning campaigns

Data studies, expert commentary, and reactive pitching that earn coverage in real publications.

Founder & exec thought leadership

Ghost-written LinkedIn essays and op-eds that sound like the person on the byline, not like a marketing intern.

Press kits & story angles

A living brand asset library plus a rolling story calendar tied to product, category, and cultural moments.

HARO, Qwoted & journalist relationships

Daily response to source requests, plus proactive relationship-building with reporters on your beat.

Podcast & event bookings

Booking your founders on the podcasts and stages your buyers actually listen to.

Brand mention & share-of-voice tracking

Monthly monitoring across web, social, and podcasts, so nothing is missed and nothing goes unamplified.

Fit check

Who this is for

  • Series A to C startups that need the market to take them seriously
  • Founder-led companies whose CEO has a point of view but no distribution
  • SEO-driven companies that need real editorial links, not directories
  • Agencies and services businesses selling into skeptical, senior buyers
