Need an agency to handle comments
One of the primary goals of digital PR is to elevate your status as an industry authority – both you and your businesses. We will work alongside you to bolster your online presence and brand reputation through our relationships with key media in your space.
We monitor the news agenda so that we can rapidly respond to news stories relevant to your industry that are on the verge of breaking. News stories are often time-sensitive and have a short lifespan, so we make sure we are one step ahead by using search listening tools that will enable us a competitive advantage.
Getting your content out there
Do you regularly update your blog with new content? Do you have a weekly or monthly newsletter with key insights relevant to your target audience? Do you keep your audience updated with internal business updates on LinkedIn? If so, we can help. We can make your content work harder by putting your insights and updates in front of national and international audiences.
We can promote existing content on your site and social media channels to earn coverage and links.
Proactively pitching stories to the media
A poorly written press release will either get lost among the noise or deleted. So, how do you go about sending a cold email that will grab the attention of your target? Our team of educated experts know all the right things to say that will make you and your business stand out from the crowd.
Gaining more visibility and links
Reactive PR is an effective strategy that can propel you and your business in front of a national and even global audience. Through this approach, we can raise your brand awareness, build credibility and position your business in front of your target audience.
Facilitating crisis communications
Businesses of all sizes spanning across a wide range of industries can experience a crisis. As specialists in the communications industry, it is our job to position you favourably in the media to boost you and your business’s reputation. We encourage you to make your voice heard, but, we will help with the positioning of this to ensure it aligns with the media landscape and current conversation.
Our Reactive Digital PR Services
Our knowledge of the media landscape means that we create topically relevant content, such as expert comments and thought leadership articles, in response to what’s going on in the news cycle. We provide strategic solutions for enhancing your brand’s online visibility while delivering tangible results.
Expert commentary
Expert commentary is crucial for reactive PR as it provides credibility, insight, and context to journalists and readers on topics you are the expert in. It helps shape public perception and aids in cementing the ‘thought leader’ status within your industry.
Thought leadership
Thought leadership opportunities position a company as experts in their field while building credibility and helping to allow your brand to shape the narrative for the rest of the industry while establishing trust.
University link building
University link-building helps establish authority and trust. Being featured on high-authority sites such as University pages improves search engine rankings and drives organic traffic, ultimately boosting brand visibility and reputation.
Resource link building
Resource link building helps to show your target audience that you hold valuable knowledge and insights in the form of on-site assets while improving SEO, and driving traffic to your website. It also enhances brand visibility and authority in the industry.
Outreachable Content Audit
An Outreachable Content Audit allows our team to identify relevant content you already have on-site which could be used to engage with target audiences and utilised for further reactive opportunities. This approach ensures that reactive press releases and expert comments are turned around quickly and effectively.

Frequently asked questions about reactive digital PR
What is reactive PR?
Reactive PR is an ‘Always On’ approach to securing valuable links and coverage. Our team of experts will monitor the headlines in top-tier publications, local press and trade media, for breaking stories that your business could contribute to through insights, expert comments and data.
By conducting an ‘Outreachable Content Audit’ that can be used all year round, we can respond to journalists with lightning speed to propel your business into the spotlight – whether that is to feature in the UK’s biggest household news titles, niche industry publications or local media.
Why is Reactive PR important?
The news cycle is accelerating. ‘Big’ news stories that would appear in the headlines days after originally breaking will now evolve over 24 hours. The story will come in and out of focus, alongside other headlines, or transform into a new story that vies for consumer attention. Reactive PR keeps pace with the news agenda so that you don’t have to. We provide journalists with timely insight, quickly, which enables us to put you and your business at the centre of each story as and when it evolves.
Would Reactive PR work for us?
In order for our experts to be able to build exceptional links and position you in the conversation, speed is vital. Working against the 24-hour news cycle, competition and tight journalist deadlines requires businesses, in some instances, to be nimble and responsive. Especially if journalists require additional comments, insights or data.
Our ‘Proactive Reactive’ approach means that we prepare the content we will promote in advance, or draft comments on your behalf for swift sign-off. However, now and again, journalists will ask for interviews and commentary at a moment’s notice. Being that all-important voice for the journalist increases our chances of success and ensures that journalists will think of us for their next story.
Why does Reactive PR work?
Journalists are looking for trusted and authoritative sources to validate their stories and to add further value to the reader. This is where you come in…
Journalists need information quickly and we are experts in being able to provide them with exactly what they need in order to write their story and make it ‘newsworthy’.
By offering a unique point of view, or additional insight on a trending issue, regularly, we can represent you as a credible source of information for future opportunities. This will ensure your voice has a platform for the industry you work in.
Are links and coverage guaranteed?
As much as we would love to guarantee links and coverage, it isn’t possible as all coverage is earned rather than paid. Whilst this strategy may not always lead to immediate success, pitching your business and insights to journalists on a regular basis can open the door to future collaborations. Offering quotes and comments on a regular basis will ensure journalists remember you for future opportunities.
