Media articles

Do you have a story to tell? Maybe your organisation has undergone a significant transformation or won an award. Perhaps there’s a brilliant case study you’d like to shout about, or a strong opinion you’re keen to share in a thought leadership article.

Whatever the story, we can develop it and target the key publications to be seen in. These could be trade magazines and regional/national newspapers and magazines, both online and in print.

Capturing your voice

Media articles can also be pitched as guest blogs on influential websites. We’ll always write to your style guide and specifications and - if you don’t have these - we can create them for you, so your tone and messaging is always on-brand and cohesive.

Editorial coverage vs adverts

The advantage of paying for adverts or advertorials is that you can dictate content exactly, so you have complete control over the words and visuals. Adverts are guaranteed to appear in the issue of your choice.

Editorial space is free. It’s not guaranteed, but if your press release or expert article is well written with a powerful hook there’s a strong chance of coverage, especially if the story is pitched directly to a journalist with an interest in the relevant area.

Editorial content conveys objectivity and authority. Audiences are savvy: they’re more likely to see an editorial piece as reliable and credible.

Creativity combined with data-driven analytics

We’re here to craft your story into compelling copy with a strong news angle. We can draw up a targeted media list and approach journalists across multi-media platforms to secure features.

If you need help writing copy for internal publications, such as customer or staff magazines, we’re very happy to discuss this too.
