Our expertise in retail technology PR gives you a direct line to the journalists and analysts shaping the conversation.
Earned media is the primary source informing AI-powered search, meaning strategic media placements directly influence AI brand perception and visibility.
As specialists in retail tech communications, we are constantly speaking with the retail trade press and sector reporters – building strong, trusted relationships that give our clients priority promotion across the right media channels.
We use our deep-rooted connections to deliver targeted, high-impact coverage that does much more than build brand awareness – it cuts through the noise and reaches retail decision-makers.
Our PR programmes transcend traditional media relations.
Because retailers’ buying decisions are influenced by a range of channels, we tap our contacts to widen your sphere of influence.
From new media channels, including podcasts and SubStack, to analyst relations and industry influencers, we programme campaigns to bolster brand visibility across all touchpoints and channels of influence.
And, as AI agents and AI citations increasingly dictate online search, our AI-fluent and agent-optimised PR content ensures your brand is visible to all your audiences – both human and AI.
From insight to column inches, we turn data into compelling PR.
Whether it’s first-party analytics or commissioned research, our data-led approach validates your solution, reflects retailer pain points and shapes narratives that resonate with both media and prospects.
From scheduled trend reports and benchmarking to rapid reactive insights, we transform raw data into high-impact, cross-channel campaigns.
No data? No problem. We design and deliver bespoke B2C and B2B research projects across the UK and global markets, helping brands uncover original insights to fuel thought leadership, media engagement, and marketing content. With deep retail sector knowledge, we don’t just report the numbers – we uncover the story behind them to shape headlines.
