Journalist-Led Digital PR

Stop Buying Links.
Start Earning Them.

Many agencies outsource link building to spam farms. We built an in-house newsroom staffed by former journalists who pitch your story to top-tier publications — earning high-authority backlinks that competitors can't fake.

Earned Media Placements

Our journalists pitch newsworthy angles to editors at major publications. Real coverage on real sites — not guest posts on content farms.

Our Specialty

High-Authority Backlinks

Every placement earns editorially vetted backlinks from domains with real authority. Google values these above all else — and they compound over time.

GEO & Brand Authority

AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini reference authoritative sources. When your brand is cited in top publications, you become the answer — not your competitor.

Since 2018

We Didn't Hire Link Builders.
We Built A Newsroom For You.

Many agencies call it "Digital PR" but deliver glorified guest posting or pay-to-play press release schemes. We took a fundamentally different approach: we built a newsroom inside a marketing agency.

Our team includes former newspaper reporters who know how to find the story in your business, write it to editorial standards, and pitch it to the publications your customers already trust. This approach does three things:

  • verified
    Augments Brand Recognition Get seen by real humans on sites they trust.
  • rocket_launch

  • psychology
    GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) AI models reference authoritative sources. We make you the source.
