Public relations

Earned coverage rather than paid. Slower, cheaper and more credible.

What it means

PR seeks coverage in media a business does not pay for — press, broadcast, podcasts, trade publications.

Why it matters

Third-party coverage carries credibility advertising cannot buy, and it lasts in search results.

What it looks like in practice

Journalists want a story, not a product. Data you hold, a genuine local angle, a customer's story with permission, or expert comment on something already in the news.\n\nTrade press is far easier to reach than national and often reaches better prospects.

What to watch out for

Paid-for editorial that is not labelled as advertising. If money changed hands, it must be identifiable.

Where to get proper advice

Sector trade publications' editorial calendars are public and are the easiest way in. Response services connect journalists with expert sources.
