Ideas that give journalists something to work with

The campaigns that get picked up are the ones built around a clear angle — original data, a sharp take from someone who knows the subject, or a timely story tied to something already in the news. I've found that works better than trying to force coverage through volume and repetition.

Outreach that doesn't burn contacts

Sending the same pitch to a hundred journalists is a good way to make sure none of them want to hear from you again. My approach is more targeted — understanding what a journalist actually covers before getting in touch, and making the case for why the story fits their beat.

Four things that matter more than volume.

A big list of mentions is easy to generate. Coverage that actually helps a site build authority and stay visible takes more thought than that.

01 — Relevance

The right publication for the story

Not every link is useful. A placement in a publication that covers the right topic for the right audience is worth far more than a generic mention on a high-DA site that has nothing to do with your market.

02 — Authority

Signals that don't fade quickly

Strong placements influence how a site is perceived well beyond the campaign itself — they feed the link profile, support branded search, and contribute to the kind of trust that takes a long time to build another way.

03 — Story

An angle a journalist can actually use

The best campaigns are built around something concrete — a number, a quote from someone credible, or a point of view that lands at the right moment. Vague angles get ignored. Specific ones get picked up.

04 — Measurement

Outcomes, not just activity

I look at placement quality, topical fit, and how coverage feeds into the broader search picture — not just a count of how many pieces went out or what the DA was.
