Breaking into the market as an emerging brand? We know it’s no easy feat. For emerging brands, breaking through the noise isn’t just about building a product – it's about building a presence.  A strong PR strategy will help shape how the world sees your brand and put you on the radar of media, influencers, and customers.

We meet with brand managers and PRs every day. And one thing we always love is that very first conversation where they share their brand story. There’s something so special about listening to the owner of a small business or a PR manager talk about the who, what, when, where and why of their brand. There’s a sparkle in their eyes, a cadence to their words and an undeniable passion. It’s truly one of the most inspiring parts of our day – and it reaffirms the importance of storytelling in the world of PR and branding.

When businesses start to feel the pinch, one of the first instincts is to trim expenses, and unfortunately, marketing and Public Relations (PR) budgets are often among the first to be cut. If your brand is facing a rough patch - financial or otherwise - chances are your audience can relate. And that makes staying connected, visible, and trusted more important than ever. One thing is certain, every dollar in your PR and marketing budget needs to count. 

Public relations (PR) can be a game-changer for brands – boosting credibility, visibility and trust. But just like anything, when numbers become involved and budgets are crunching, things can get tricky. How much is too much? What is worth the investment? And how do you score great press coverage without blowing the budget?  

Expand your marketing strategy by optimising your searchability and create content to last longer than a season. Here are some top tips for extending the life cycle of your online content.

When you’re staring a label of your own, it is important to build exposure for yourself as quickly as possible. One of the best ways to do this? Be featured by the media.

In a cut-throat business world, the marriage of PR and marketing is no longer a luxury but an absolute necessity. PRs and marketers are the key to unlocking a brand’s true potential by creating and leveraging press coverage effectively. Easier said than done, right? Let us share our insights, actionable steps and additional strategies to ensure ongoing benefits and lasting brand awareness. 

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, brands can’t afford to go it alone. Strategic collaborations—whether with brands, influencers, media, or creators—are one of the most powerful ways to increase brand awareness, engage new audiences and drive real business growth.

But the key to a successful partnership isn’t just about exposure; it’s about alignment, authenticity and a shared story that captures attention.

Email marketing remains one of the most effective ways to engage with your audience, but if your emails aren't reaching their inboxes, your efforts are wasted. Poor email deliverability can result in emails landing in spam folders or being blocked altogether.

Getting your brand featured in the media isn’t about luck—it’s about strategy. Journalists, editors, and content creators are inundated with pitches daily.

If you want to break through the noise, your pitch needs to be compelling, relevant, and tailored to their needs. Here’s how to craft the perfect pitch that captures media attention and secures coverage. 

In today’s media landscape, brands can’t rely on just one type of media coverage to gain visibility. The PESO model, a strategic framework that integrates Paid, Earned, Shared, and Owned media, allows you to create a comprehensive approach to brand storytelling.

By leveraging all four pillars effectively, brands can maximise their exposure, build credibility and drive high engagement.

Gifting to media isn’t just about sending products—it’s about strategically building relationships, generating excitement, and securing authentic earned coverage. Done right, a gifting strategy can create brand loyalty, drive storytelling, and amplify visibility in a way that no ad spend can replicate.
