Organisations announcing a launch, a funding round or an expansion
02.4.1What this division does
The story, before it gets away from you
Coverage is easy to buy and hard to earn, and the difference shows. A placement that reads like an advertisement does less for you than three honest paragraphs in a publication your buyers already trust.
We start with what is actually true and interesting about the organisation, build the narrative from there, and then take it to the desks where it will land. We also plan for the day the news is not good, because that plan cannot be written while it is happening.

02.4.4Questions
Asked often.
If the answer you need is not here, ask it in the brief and we will answer it in writing before quoting.
Can you guarantee coverage?
No, and anyone who does is buying it. We can tell you honestly whether a story is likely to land, where, and what would need to change to improve the odds.
Do you handle paid placements?
We will arrange and disclose paid placements when they serve the brief, kept clearly separate from earned coverage in both planning and reporting.
How fast can you respond in a crisis?
Retainer clients have a named contact and an agreed escalation path, with a holding statement drafted within the hour. Without a retainer we will still help, but the first hours are spent on context we would already have had.
