Digital PR
What is Digital PR?
Digital PR is a strategic approach to public relations that takes traditional methods of public relations, like brand awareness and authority, and applies them to online situations. It generally involves creating shareworthy content that entices a journalist, blogger or influencer to post about or cover it online.
When executed well, digital PR can be an incredibly valuable tool for businesses of all sizes but particularly for small businesses or startup organisations that need a little extra help cutting through the noise.
