Common mistakes to avoid

Ignoring follow-up wastes good marketing. Enquiries that wait hours for a reply convert far worse; a simple WhatsApp response routine often improves results more than extra spend.

The most expensive mistake is scaling before tracking works. If calls, WhatsApp chats and form leads are not measured by source, budget decisions become guesses.

Choosing the right journalist research and media pitching partner

Check how communication works. Will you get a named contact, regular reports in plain language and quick answers on WhatsApp? Many working relationships fail on communication rather than skill.

Insist on owning your assets — ad accounts, pages, websites, content and data. A trustworthy partner sets things up in your name so you keep everything if you ever change direction.

Why journalist research and media pitching matters

Done well, journalist research and media pitching compounds. Each month builds on the last: better data, clearer messaging and assets that keep working after the campaign ends. Done poorly, it becomes a monthly cost with little to show for it — which is why we start with goals and measurement rather than activity.

What to prepare before we start

Before we start, it helps to gather a few things: access to your website analytics and ad accounts (if any), a list of your best-selling products or most profitable services, examples of competitors you admire or worry about, and any brand guidelines. None of this needs to be perfect — we will help organise it.

How pricing works

Every proposal separates our fee from third-party costs such as ad spend, tools or creator fees, so you can see exactly where money goes. Reports then connect that spend to the outcomes we agreed at the start.
