No nonsense
media pitching

AT LEILA PR, WE HAVE SECURED COVERAGE FOR OUR CLIENTS IN EVERY NATIONAL CHAIN.

Not many people love media pitching. We do. For direct, strategic, and targeted coverage, you won’t find anyone better at the sell-in.

We don't overcomplicate things. We pitch stories, we land coverage, we deliver results.

We offer a full agency package, from strategy and content to campaigns, but media relations is where we’re relentless. We build sharp stories and get them in front of the right journalists.

Let's Talk

What we do

Media pitching that's strategic, direct, and built to land coverage.

We’re a boutique PR agency. We do strategy and planning, but our focus is building strong stories and pitches that turn into coverage in your target publications.

We don’t do ‘brand awareness’ campaigns. We do one thing exceptionally well: securing real, valuable, measurable media coverage in the outlets that matter to you and your business.

  • Before we pitch, we strategise. We work with you to identify the right news angles, the right timing, and the right outlets for maximum impact. We map out your media opportunities, plan campaign timelines, and ensure every pitch aligns with your business goals.

  • This is what we're known for. We craft compelling, journalist-friendly pitches and sell your story directly to the media contacts that count. We secure broadcast interviews, national features, trade coverage, and commentary across all top-tier outlets. We know the journalists, we know what they want, and we know how to make your story impossible to ignore.

  • Consistent media presence requires consistent effort. We offer retainer-based support to keep your business in the media spotlight month after month, building relationships with journalists and creating a steady pipeline of coverage opportunities.

    The discovery call

    We start with a conversation. Tell us what you need, what success looks like, and what's not working right now. We'll tell you honestly if we're the right fit and what coverage we think we can secure.

    Strategy & planning

    We take time to understand your business, identify compelling story angles, map out target outlets, and build a media strategy that's tailored to your goals. You'll get a clear plan showing what we're pitching, who we're pitching to, and when.

    Pitching & securing coverage

    This is where the magic happens. We craft targeted pitches, reach out to our journalist contacts, follow up and secure beautiful coverage. We keep you updated on progress, share media responses, and celebrate wins together.

    Interview preparation & support

    When we secure an interview or feature opportunity, we prepare you thoroughly. We'll brief you on the journalist, the angle, the likely questions, and exactly how to deliver your key messages effectively.
