Our Placements

What is Digital PR?

Digital PR is an online marketing tactic leveraged to increase a website’s visibility. This tactic involves outreaching high quality stories to journalists, bloggers and influencers with the aim to enhance brand awareness and gain high-quality backlinks for SEO.

Digital PR is integral to your brand’s search visibility, and ultimately, success online. Investing in digital PR is more important than ever, especially when expertise, authority and trustworthiness (E-A-T) are ranking considerations for SEO. If you’re not seen as an authority in your field (in both Google’s eyes and your target audience’s), you won’t have the competitiveness you need to stand out.

Unlike traditional PR, which can be difficult to measure and prove its worth, digital PR delivers measurable and tangible results. This means you know that your investment is worthwhile.

Who is Digital PR for?

If you want your business to maximise its potential online, digital PR is a must-have. No matter how big or small, digital PR is the service for you if:

You’re looking to gain authoritative links
Your SEO is underperforming or reached a plateau
Your business is not generating a lot of its own news, but you don’t want that to hold you back
You want creative campaigns or content that actually delivers measurable results
You’re trying to gain exposure with a specific audience online (e.g. via trade publications)
You want to earn influence, exposure and contribute to your industry

What we achieved

Using data from the Office for National Statistics, our specialists analysed the best and worst paid jobs in the UK to build a unique narrative and media assets that would grab the attention of press. We targeted specific and highly-relevant media with bespoke pitches, further building our press relationships to enhance future collaboration. We continually adapted the campaign as we moved along to focus on varying industries – with great success.

We Know Journalists

We don’t just mean we have relationships with journalists (and we have plenty) but we know journalists. We know what they want, and we know when they’ll leave an email unread.

We have the experience, techniques and tools under our belts to give journalists stories they can’t ignore. How? We provide unique research and insights that no-one else is providing – we leverage data, send Freedom of Information requests and get quotes from specialists in their relevant fields.

At the end of the day, we understand that it’s all about making journalists’ lives easier, so we make sure we tick all their boxes before pitching.

We Tell Real Stories That Engage, Inspire & Inform

Think your business can’t have PR because you aren’t consistently doing newsworthy things? Think again. Lack of company news isn’t a limitation – and it certainly isn’t a reason not to do digital PR.

At MRS, we pride ourselves on our storytelling capabilities. We find the stories you can’t see – you may be surprised to find that what you do, where you’ve been and your people can all make interesting stories. We know that this is difficult to see when you’re amongst it day-by-day, but we know what makes engaging content and earns placements.

We are great at leveraging data sets, current trends or news stories across the country and the world to create relevant narratives and campaigns journalists love.

Our Process

Creative Ideation

At this stage, our team of experts come together to formulate creative ideas that can be developed into relevant, exciting stories. This can include Freedom of Information requests and data scraping to collate data available, helping to strengthen and solidify our ideas. We will also collaborate with our clients to get their unique insight on industry topics.

Data Analysis & Story Refinement

We will next crack on with doing in-depth data analysis or story refinement, depending on the topic at hand. This enables us to prepare a pitch with real backing that journalists won’t be able to resist.

Content & Data Visualisation

Once we have pitched our irresistible stories, we will start the writing process – bringing them to life. This also includes liaising with our design team to create engaging data visualisation or media that is shareable, engaging and ultimately, makes the journalist’s life easier.

Outreach Stories

This is where we begin to outreach our stories to relevant publications, considering different locations and industries. We use this time to leverage existing relationships as well as nurture new ones.
