Digital PR That Earns Links: Beyond the Press Release

Data stories, expert commentary and newsjacking — the three PR formats that earn coverage and authority links in 2026.

Journalists do not need your announcement; they need material for their next story. Digital PR works when you supply that material.

01

Original data stories

A proprietary survey or an analysis of your own anonymised platform data gives reporters something they cannot get elsewhere. These campaigns earn the majority of high-authority links we generate.

02

Expert commentary

Fast, quotable responses to breaking developments in your sector build standing relationships. Speed matters more than polish on same-day requests.

03

Measure like a marketer

Track referring domains gained, branded search lift and assisted conversions — not just clipping counts.
