Data-led PR Study

An original data study journalists want to cite, plus the list of journalists to pitch.

What it is

I find a newsworthy angle in public or government data connected to your industry, run the analysis, write the study and the press release, and match it to journalists who cover the topic. You or your PR team pitch it. Links and brand mentions come from being the source, not from buying placements. It is the same method that earned links for a finance site with no paid PR budget.

After this, you will have

  • You own a study with genuinely new information in your topic
  • You have a ready-to-send press release and pitch angles
  • You know exactly which journalists to send it to, and why

What you get

  • 3 angles to choose from

    Newsworthy angles from public and government data, checked against what journalists covered recently. You pick one.

  • Data analysis with method

    Clean, documented analysis with sources and method written out, so journalists and editors can trust it.

  • Study page copy

    The full study for your site: key findings, chart brief, methodology and FAQ, structured to be cited.

  • Press release + pitch angles

    A release and three short pitch emails tailored to national, trade and regional press.

  • Matched journalist list

    30 to 50 journalists who recently covered the topic, each with the article that makes them a match.

  • Handover call

    30 minutes with whoever sends the pitches, on timing, angles and follow-ups.
