Hire Digital PR Specialist — press coverage that earns links and trust
Digital PR earns what advertising cannot buy: editorial coverage, journalist relationships, and high-authority backlinks from real newsrooms. I build data-led campaigns — surveys, industry studies, newsjacking, and expert commentary — pitched through Muck Rack with targeted media lists. Coverage lands as stories, not sponsored posts, and each placement compounds SEO authority.

Earned media campaigns that journalists pick up
Campaign concept & angles
Newsworthy campaign ideas built from your data, expertise, or market position. I develop multiple angles per campaign so one asset can serve national, trade, and regional press.
Data studies & surveys
Original research, survey data, and industry analyses designed for headlines. I structure methodology and findings so journalists can cite the study with confidence, and editors can verify every claim independently.
Media list building
Targeted journalist lists built in Muck Rack by beat, outlet, and recent coverage. I pitch reporters who actually cover your topic — never blasted press releases to generic inboxes.
Pitching & follow-up
Personalized pitches, embargo offers, and expert-commentary outreach with disciplined follow-up. I handle journalist replies, interview scheduling, and asset delivery end to end, so no opportunity dies in an inbox.
Newsjacking & commentary
Rapid-response expert commentary on breaking stories in your industry. I monitor news cycles and place your perspective while journalists are still writing — speed wins these slots.
Coverage & link reporting
Every placement logged with outlet, domain authority, link status, and estimated reach. I track which angles earned coverage and feed winners back into the next campaign cycle.
From story idea to published coverage
A structured engagement with no surprises — you’ll always know what’s happening and what’s next.
Story mining
We dig into your data, customers, and expertise for stories journalists want. I pressure-test angles against what target outlets actually publish before building anything.
Asset creation
The campaign asset gets built: survey, study, interactive data, or commentary bank. I package methodology, visuals, and quotes so newsrooms can publish with minimal effort.
Outreach & pitching
Targeted pitches go to beat-matched journalists via Muck Rack, with embargoes for top-tier outlets. Follow-ups are persistent but respectful — relationships matter more than one hit.
Amplify & repeat
Coverage is amplified across your channels and logged for SEO value. Winning formats become repeatable campaign templates; journalist relationships carry into the next cycle.
Why hire a digital PR specialist
The failure mode is the generic press release: blasted to a thousand inboxes, opened by nobody, earning nothing. Journalists cover stories with data, tension, and timing — so campaigns must be built around genuine news value, not announcements dressed as news.

Digital PR FAQs
How is digital PR different from link building?
Digital PR earns coverage through newsworthy campaigns pitched to journalists; link building earns links through direct outreach. PR placements carry more authority and brand value, while link building delivers steadier volume.
What kind of coverage can we expect?
It depends on the story’s strength and your market. I target a mix of top-tier, trade, and regional outlets per campaign and report every placement with link status and reach.
Do you guarantee placements?
No — earned media cannot be guaranteed honestly. I stack the odds with strong angles, original data, and targeted pitching, and I report transparently on outreach and results.
How long does a campaign take?
Concept to coverage typically runs six to ten weeks: story development, asset creation, pitching, and follow-up. Newsjacking opportunities move faster when the news cycle allows. I flag time-sensitive angles the moment they appear.
Who owns the media relationships?
You do. All journalist contacts, coverage logs, and campaign assets are documented and handed over. The relationships and playbooks stay with your business after the engagement.
