Digital PR Consulting

Bring your brand assets
to more people.

We support the PR (public relations) of companies and services, from strategy to hands-on work. Under an advisory contract, we build your PR strategy and stay with you through team launch, structure building, press releases, and media outreach. We are especially strong at the early launch stage and when you are building an in-house team.

  1. Strength 01

    Members who understand corporate PR and decision-making

    Our team includes a PR consultant who handled external communications at Recruit, and our CEO, who served as deputy editor of an owned media outlet at an operating company. We draw on the views of executives, middle management, and frontline staff, and on how decisions are made inside a company, to build PR plans you can actually carry out.

  2. Strength 02

    Set KGI/KPI to drive results

    With P&L and KPIs in mind, we first decide how PR efforts will lead to business results. In developing a PR strategy, we start by designing the KGI/KPI and also prepare the indicators used for review.

  3. Strength 03

    From release to web and content, in one stream

    We handle not only press releases and press materials but also the planning and production of the websites and content that receive the attention, all in one team. We also developed our own tool, "AI Press Release X," which uses generative AI to create press release templates.

A good service,
but still not well known.

If you are thinking, "We want to start PR but do not know where to begin," or "We send press releases but get no response," come talk to us at that stage. We organize what you want to say, shape it so it reaches the media and the world, and help you through to announcement.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it all right if we have no PR person?

Yes. From building the strategy to hands-on work like writing releases and reaching out to the media, we help in a way that fits your internal setup.

Can we ask just for press release writing?

Yes. We also accept requests for the production of releases or press materials alone.

Can you guarantee interviews or coverage?

Coverage is up to the media, so we cannot promise it. We think together about angles and delivery methods that are more likely to be picked up.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the scope of work, so we prepare a quote after hearing from you.
