Maximising media coverage in 2025: Our top tips for business success

If you’re looking to grow your business, media coverage is an important tool. Whether it’s amplifying a brand, reaching new audiences, or establishing credibility in your industry, the power of the press can make all the difference. 

Easier said than done? 

With the ever-changing media landscape and increased competition for attention, securing consistent and effective coverage requires strategy and planning. 

But it’s not impossible! Check out our five top tips to maximise media coverage for your business and drive success this year! 

Craft a newsworthy story 

Journalists are inundated with pitches every day, so what you have to say needs to stand out. Make sure you craft a well-written media release that hooks the reader from the start. Be concise and keep your messaging clear. Ask yourself: 

• Is your story timely? Tie your pitch to current events, trends, or seasonal themes. 

• Is it unique? Highlight what makes your business different or innovative. 

• Is there a human-interest element? Stories with emotional appeal or ones that involve the lives of real people are more likely to gain attention. 

Build strong media relationships 

Cultivating relationships with journalists and editors is critical for long-term media success. 

It’s important to: 

• Research and connect to journalists who cover your industry and tailor your pitches accordingly. 

• Be a reliable source of information by offering valuable insights, statistics and commentary, even when it’s not directly about your business. 

Leverage multi-media content 

The media landscape in 2025 is increasingly visual and digital. Enhance your pitches and media releases with: 

• High quality images or videos that tell your story visually. 

• Infographics to present complex data in a digestible form. 

• Behind-the-scenes footage or interviews that add depth to your message. 

Implement digital public relations strategies 

Digital PR complements traditional efforts and boosts your reach. Try: 

• Collaborating with influencers who align with your brand values. 

• Optimising for SEO so that media releases and online content include relevant keywords to increase your chances of being seen. 

• Monitoring online conversations to stay ahead of trending topics or issues by engaging in industry-related discussions on social media forums. 

Measure, learn and adapt 

Quality over quantity! Media coverage is not just about the number of times your business is mentioned, it’s about the quality of the mention and its impact. 

Make sure to track key metrics – reach, audience engagement, website traffic, and lead generation – from any media coverage you achieve. 

By analysing which types of stories work and, more importantly, which don’t, you can refine your approach to improve your media coverage in the future.
