NOTABILITY / DIGITAL PR

vanity, it's infrastructure.

Writing and distributing press releases in real media outlets, in Malta and in Spain. Coverage underpins verification, the knowledge panel, and the trust of anyone researching you before they buy.

FROM IDEA TO PUBLISHED STORYIllustrated process
01 / 04

The story, not the advert.

We find the fact or data point that makes your story publishable to a journalist, not a disguised sales pitch.

Illustrative process. Publication depends on the outlet judging the story newsworthy, not just on it being sent.

Start with press

WHEN IT MAKES SENSE

When no one talks about
your company but you.

01

Years of ads, not a single article

Money goes into paid advertising but there is not one press piece to show when someone asks who they are.

02

A launch with no coverage

A product or a relevant sector data point comes out and reaches no outlet because no one wrote it up as a story.

03

Old negative results still on top

An old article or a bad review still shows up first when the brand is searched, with no recent content to push it down.

04

Missing the dossier to get verified

You apply for the verification badge or the knowledge panel and there is no press coverage to back it up.

WHAT CHANGES IN PRACTICE

Digital PR means securing real press coverage with a publishable angle, not sending a release to whichever site will accept it.

An outlet does not publish a release just because you ask: it publishes it because it contains something its audience wants to read. The work starts by finding that angle — proprietary data, a trend spotted before anyone else, a specific case — and writing it in journalistic format, facts up front and with no self-promotional adjectives.

We work at two levels: network distribution for volume and baseline coverage, and one-to-one work with journalists when the story merits a dedicated article. What we do not do is publish on sites that accept any release in exchange for a link: that kind of coverage fools no one, including Google, and can work against you when someone checks it.

PeopleAnyone researching you finds real articles, with a date, author and identifiable outlet, not a list of identical releases repeated on sites with no readers.
SEO and GEOEach release earns an authority link and a citable passage for an AI assistant answering about your sector. We don't guarantee which outlet publishes or when.

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU START

The important part,
explained well.

Press coverage is not bought with money, it is earned with a publishable angle. These are the six questions worth resolving before starting a digital PR programme.

What exactly does the digital PR service include?

It includes finding the publishable angle, writing the release in journalistic format, distribution across national and international media networks, one-to-one work with journalists when the story allows it, and a report with verifiable links for every placement secured. It does not include buying ad space disguised as an article or publishing on sites that accept any release in exchange for a link: that kind of coverage adds no authority and can take it away.

Can you guarantee placement in a specific outlet?

No, and anyone who promises that is selling you something they do not control. The decision to publish belongs to the outlet's newsroom, not to us: what we guarantee is the work of finding the right angle, writing it in journalistic format and distributing it to the right outlet for your sector. Over a multi-month programme, it is typical to secure coverage in 3 to 8 different outlets, but a specific, high-profile outlet can say no without that meaning the work was done badly.

How long does it take to get the first placement?

The first release distributed through the network is usually published within a few days to 2 weeks. Securing individual coverage with a journalist for a bespoke article takes longer: 3 to 6 weeks from first contact, because it depends on the outlet's schedule and the topic staying newsworthy. An ongoing programme, with several releases a month, starts showing accumulated volume from the second or third month.

What happens if no outlet publishes the release?

We review the angle and rewrite it: the reason is almost always that the release read as self-promotion rather than news, and that gets fixed before trying again. If, after revising the angle with proper journalistic judgement, there is still no real interest from outlets, we tell you honestly: not every company fact is newsworthy, and forcing it through low-quality outlets does more harm than publishing nothing.

Do you have to disclose that it is sponsored content?

It depends on the outlet and the format: a press release distributed through the network is usually labelled as a release, while an article developed with a journalist runs as a normal editorial piece, with no sponsorship label, because the journalist decides the angle independently. We always follow each country's rules on covert advertising and each outlet's policy on sponsored content; we do not pay to hide that something is advertising.

What do I need to start a PR programme?

You need at least one fact, data point or perspective from your business that could interest someone who is not your customer: a shift in trend you are spotting before the sector, proprietary data from your activity, a relevant case. You do not need existing relationships with journalists or communications experience: the first step is a session to identify what you do that is genuinely newsworthy.

Do you cover Spanish media even though the agency is in Malta?

Yes. The distribution network includes Spanish-language outlets, and one-to-one work with journalists does not depend on where the agency is based, same as the rest of Phoenix's services. What determines whether an outlet publishes is the angle of the story and its sector, not the location of whoever wrote it.
