Our digital PR services
News isn’t always news, and your audience doesn’t always want to hear what you have to say.
We make it our business to get your message right, and get it out to those who can help drive growth. Whether that’s thought leadership in your customers’ and prospects’ markets, or research into attitudes around your brand and proposition, we’ll challenge your thinking, basing our decisions on data, not guesswork.
Digital PR campaigns are so much more than you think.
It’s not just about placing editorial, promoting products or merely creating headlines.
Your PR and digital marketing strategy should act as one; PR should underpin clear business and commercial objectives.
That way, reputations are built and maintained, and your online presence is boosted.
We understand your market sector
Your PR agency should have insight into your market sector beyond what you wish people to read, view, hear or consume. But, crucially, it should understand what makes your target audience tick, and why they should listen to what you have to say.
We demonstrate expertise
We have expertise across a broad range of sectors, including healthcare, technology, charity, satellite connectivity and the IoT space, the built environment, energy and renewables, facilities management, security and more…
We challenge you, and challenge the ordinary
We don’t exist solely to pick up where you left off, or execute your ready-made campaigns. We will challenge you, and ask you why, and so what…

“Catalyst PR helped us move from being a start-up with an idea to a brand with real momentum.
They’ve given us visibility with a steady stream of coverage, content and strategy that supports our growth every day.”

Frequently asked Questions
What is digital PR?
Digital PR uses all the same tactics and strategies as traditional PR, in that its purpose is to work with news and broadcast outlets to place your news, or opinions, or to use it as a conduit for sharing information that reaches customers and stakeholders in a more measured and targeted way.
The key difference with digital PR is that while a human audience remains intrinsic to messaging, keywords and/or backlinks are also included in outreach to help boost your SEO rankings, drive traffic to specific landing pages on a website and enhance domain authority
Digital PR can be better tracked and measured, depending on agreed KPIs.

What are digital PR services?
Digital PR services combine the craft of traditional media relations with the precision of digital marketing. They involve earning coverage across trusted, high-authority media sites, not just for visibility, but to improve how your brand performs online.
By aligning stories with SEO strategy, backlinks, and keyword planning, digital PR helps your brand become more discoverable across search engines and AI-driven platforms like Google’s AI Overviews and ChatGPT. In other words: it’s where reputation meets results.

Can digital PR replace traditional PR?
Not entirely, and it shouldn’t.
Traditional PR builds relationships and reputation through storytelling and press engagement. Digital PR takes those same principles and adds reach, measurability, and longevity.
When combined, they create a 360° communications strategy that delivers both credibility and visibility, getting your brand noticed by people and algorithms alike.

How does digital PR support my business growth?
Any organic business growth strategy needs a robust lead-generation platform. Digital PR not only aids growth by ensuring news, opinion, or the sharing of intellectual property (IP) is read, viewed, listened to or consumed by your target audience, but also that it is trackable and measurable.
If something can be measured, it can be benchmarked against KPIs, adjusted if necessary, and give you a 360 view of your customer’s journey to your website. If you understand your customer, you’re more likely to deliver what they are looking for, at the time they are looking for it, and nurture them through the sales funnel rather than losing them to a competitor.

Why is digital PR important within a marketing strategy?
Digital PR is increasingly becoming a critical part of marketing strategy, in that it closes the loop on all content channels, and acts as a further ‘touch point’ in any given content marketing campaign.
While email, SEO, PPC, content, and social media all combine to deliver a campaign’s messaging in a targeted way, by aligning the same messaging and keywords in digital PR, such as an opinion piece with embedded backlinks, you reach a sector’s traditional readership, especially now that most content is consumed online.
It helps to take that messaging a stage further, and into the content your audience consumes daily.

Can digital PR help with lead generation?
Absolutely. Digital PR campaigns don’t just raise awareness; they create conversion opportunities.
When your thought leadership, product stories, or insights appear on high-authority media platforms (with backlinks to your website), potential customers discover your brand organically. Those backlinks improve your SEO, bringing more qualified traffic that’s already engaged and curious.
The best digital PR agencies use this approach to build measurable, organic lead pipelines (we do exactly that!).

How can I measure ROI from digital PR?
The age-old question, ‘how do you measure PR’, has haunted the PR professional for many years. From finding an advertising value equivalent to metrics that indexed impact, PRs have strived to not only measure, but demonstrate an ROI for hitting the headlines.
With digital PR, the pressure has eased somewhat, albeit, ROI ultimately sounds like a phone ringing, or looks like someone coming through your front door – lead generation.
Digital PR allows for a more strategic approach to make content work that bit harder. Clicks on links can be traced back to, and through, your website, while the quality of those links can be measured through their domain authority, shares, and social media engagement. Spikes in web traffic can also be measured when coinciding with a digital PR campaign
Ultimately, lead generation will be increased through a combination of all of this, but KPIs should always be set, and agreed, at the outset of any digital campaign; otherwise, how can you measure something that has no objective?

How quickly can I expect results?
Coverage can happen fast, sometimes within days or hours.
But the real value of digital PR comes from consistency. SEO impact, backlink authority, and brand awareness compound over time.
We’ll provide quick wins early on, then build momentum through ongoing media relations, content creation, and smart campaign planning that delivers tangible growth month after month.

How do I measure the success of a PR campaign?
The key question here is: what does success look like to you?
The success of any PR campaign, whether digital or not, can only be measured against agreed objectives and KPIs. As we are not in the business of vanity metrics, this can be done in a number of ways.
It may very well be that you want to create a voice of authority in a key sector, or you are tired of always seeing your fiercest competitor stealing all the limelight through column inches. If this is the case, we’ll work with you to help knock them off their perch.
However, most clients are now keen to see their digital PR working alongside and augmenting their existing content marketing strategy. This helps to deliver backlinks, increase awareness on high domain authority sites, and deliver impact through shares and clicks.

Do you offer one-off projects or ongoing retainers?
We offer both, depending on your goals.
Ongoing retainers are ideal for brands looking to build steady authority and long-term visibility; perfect for businesses with continuous announcements or fast-evolving markets.
One-off projects are best suited to product launches, brand repositioning, or specific research-led digital PR campaigns.
Either way, we align every piece of work with your wider marketing and SEO strategy.

How do digital PR and SEO interact?
Digital PR will help you reach your target audience by placing news stories or opinion pieces within that sector, consumer press or blog pages. This includes traditional print, digital issues (where the print magazine is mirrored online) or news web pages.
By melding SEO into this, placed news and features become more visible to a wider audience, and not just those who subscribe to, or choose to read, the article in that online publication.
Without SEO, that wider visibility is reduced dramatically.
Working together, digital PR and SEO help to enhance your online presence and generate conversations, especially when your distributed content is shared on high-ranking pages, rather than just your own web pages.

How does AI work with digital PR?
AI is transforming digital PR by helping teams work smarter, faster, and more strategically. It can analyse vast amounts of online data to identify trends, measure sentiment, and spot opportunities for brand visibility.
However, AI is having its biggest impact in search, with Google AI overviews, and LLMs now prioritising earned media and brand recognition across high authority sites, and online industry or news publications.
Digital PR plays a crucial role in securing coverage on trusted, high-authority publications – the very sources that AI systems and search engines are now using to inform their summaries and overviews.
This is changing how SEO professionals are working with their digital PR colleagues, and digital PR is becoming increasingly more important, not just in lifting awareness, but in driving online traffic and boosting domain authority (DA).

How does PR fit within a digital marketing strategy?
PR and digital marketing share the same goal: visibility and credibility.
PR earns it through media coverage and thought leadership.
Digital marketing amplifies it through SEO, paid media, and content distribution.
When both are integrated, every campaign touchpoint works harder: PR drives awareness, digital marketing drives conversion, and your audience sees one consistent brand story across every channel.
