They got us in two tier-1 dailies within four months. The lead profile alone drove two acquisition conversations. Their pitch was so specific I thought they’d worked in the newsroom.

The honest part
What we don't do.
Most agencies hide what they don't deliver. We lead with it.
01.
We don't hide our pricing. Some placements are paid syndication, some are pure earned. You see the breakdown in every proposal.
02.
We don't make you wait weeks for the first placement. Most stories go live in 1–7 days. If you need same-day, ask — sometimes we can.
03.
We don't spam press release wires. Tier-1 journalists ignore them. We hand-pitch every outlet.
04.
We don't take you on if you don't have a real story. PR amplifies what exists — it can't invent it.
05.
We don't hide our pitches. You see every angle, every subject line, every reply. Full transparency.
Founders, on the record
What founders said after the coverage hit.
Founders who trusted us with their announcements.
Our seed round announcement landed in seven outlets in 48 hours — tier-1 dailies, trade press, founder magazines. Investors saw it. Customers saw it. Hiring inbound went up 4x the next week.

Quick check
Four reasons founders start with us this week.
If even two of these apply to you, we should be talking. Most clients tick all four within 30 seconds.
YOUR SITUATION
Are any of these true for you right now?
I want my brand featured on tier-1 news sites this month — not in 6 months.
I'm raising soon, launching a product, or just hired a CXO and need to announce it loudly.
My investors / customers / hiring funnel would all benefit if they saw me in the press.
I'd rather pay for results — placements landed — than for hours billed.

Frequently asked
Everything founders ask before they sign.
How does pricing work?
Every story is custom-quoted because every brand has different goals, target outlets, and budgets. A single placement on a starter outlet starts at ₹4,999. A premium tier-1 feature can run ₹1.5L+ depending on the publication, story complexity, and whether it includes content writing, journalist outreach, or multimedia integration. Most engagements land between ₹25K–₹75K total. We send a transparent custom proposal within 24 hours of your WhatsApp message.
How do you place stories on tier-1 outlets like business dailies and magazines?
We've spent years building direct relationships with editors, journalists, and publishing partners across 250+ outlets — Indian national press, business dailies, trade publications, regional dailies, podcasts, wire services, and international outlets. When you sign on, your story goes through our network of trusted media partnerships. We don't use mass blast services or scrape generic press release wires.
How fast can you get my story published?
Most placements go live within 1–7 days of approval. Time-sensitive announcements (funding rounds, product launches with set dates) can often be expedited to same-day or next-day publication on starter outlets. Premium tier-1 placements take longer — typically 5–14 days — because senior editors review, fact-check, and schedule them around their editorial calendar.
Do publications give dofollow or nofollow backlinks?
Both — and we're transparent about which is which. Dofollow links pass SEO authority directly to your site (great for search rankings and domain authority). Nofollow links don't pass authority but still drive referral traffic, brand visibility, and indirect SEO signals. Different publications have different policies — some give dofollow on every article, some give nofollow by default, and some mix both depending on whether the placement is editorial or sponsored. Before you sign off on any proposal, we share the exact list of target outlets along with their dofollow/nofollow status so you can pick a mix that matches your SEO goals. If your priority is pure SEO impact, we'll weight your package toward dofollow outlets. If it's brand visibility, we balance both.
What types of stories do you place?
Funding announcements, product launches, founder profiles, milestone announcements (revenue, customer count, expansion), industry commentary, op-eds, interviews, partnership reveals, hiring announcements, acquisition news, and brand introductions. We don't take on stories that don't have a real news angle — we'll tell you upfront if a story isn't placeable, and suggest what to do instead.
Do you write the press release, or do I?
Either works. If you have copy ready, we'll review and edit it for newsroom standards before distribution. If you don't, we have in-house editors (ex-newsroom) who write the press release, custom angle decks, and any founder quotes — in your voice, approved by you before anything goes out. Content writing is included in most packages or available as an add-on.
What do I get after the story is published?
A complete coverage report with live URLs to every published article, publication tier (national / regional / trade), estimated reach, screenshots, and SEO backlink data where applicable. You can repurpose these placements for LinkedIn posts, investor decks, hiring pages, and the website's “As featured in” section. Articles stay indexed in search results long after publication, giving your brand ongoing visibility.
What happens if a publication declines or delays?
Our 250+ outlet network gives us flexibility — if a specific outlet declines, we have alternates lined up across similar tiers. For paid distribution placements, your story is guaranteed to publish on the outlets specified in your proposal. For pitched editorial coverage (where outcomes depend on editorial judgment), we re-pitch with a refined angle until the story lands. You're never charged for a placement that doesn't go live.
