Press Releases Are Dead.

Blasting a generic PDF to 5,000 scraped email addresses doesn't get you featured in GQ. It gets your domain blacklisted.

Today's commerce writers receive hundreds of pitches a day. They don't want company news; they want products that solve problems for their readers (and earn affiliate revenue for their publishers). We act as your digital publicist, managing 1-on-1 relationships with the exact writers who cover your specific niche.

  • Stop the "Spray and Pray": No more generic PR Newswire blasts that yield zero traffic.
  • Earn Real Trust: A feature in a tier-1 publication transfers massive authority to your brand.
  • Fuel Your Ads: Use "As Seen In" badges legally and aggressively in your Meta/TikTok creatives.

The PR Newswire Blast

Syndicating a corporate press release to a network of bot-run news sites. It costs $500, generates zero real human readers, and gives no SEO or brand value.

The Commerce Intro

Sending a highly personalized, 3-sentence email to the exact writer who curates the "Best Summer Skincare" list, offering an exclusive sample and an affiliate link.

Our Methodology

How We Earn Your Placements

Targeted List Building

We don't use generic databases. We manually research and build lists of commerce writers, freelance contributors, and editors who are actively writing about your specific product category this month.

Product Seeding

Journalists need to touch and feel products to review them. We manage the outreach, confirm their addresses, and coordinate targeted sample boxes to get your product into the hands of tastemakers.

Affiliate PR Strategy

Modern publications (like Hearst, Condé Nast) mandate affiliate links for product features. We help you set up and leverage platforms like Skimlinks or ShareASale to make your brand instantly pitchable.

Common PR Questions

What is the difference between Digital PR and SEO Link Building?
SEO link building often involves paying obscure blogs for guest posts strictly to trick Google's algorithm. Digital PR is about earning organic features in real, legitimate magazines and news sites driven by actual journalism. While Digital PR yields incredible SEO backlinks, the primary goal is brand authority, consumer trust, and referral sales.
Why do you mention Affiliate PR so much?
The publishing industry has changed. Major media houses (like the companies that own GQ, Glamour, or Wirecutter) monetize their commerce articles via affiliate commissions. If your store isn't on a network like Skimlinks, ShareASale, or Impact, writers are often forbidden by their editors from linking to your product—no matter how good it is. We help you bridge this gap.
How long does it take to get featured?
Editorial timelines are long. If we pitch a writer today, they may request a sample next week, test it for a month, and the article might go live two months after that. Print magazines work 4-6 months in advance. We recommend a minimum 3-6 month commitment to see the "snowball effect" of consistent relationship building.
