Whether you’re looking to study, kick start a career in marketing or want to refresh your existing skills, this beginner's guide to digital PR covers everything from basic knowledge to knowing how to build a successful digital PR campaign. 

Digital Public Relations is a strategy used to boost the awareness and visibility of your brand using online platforms. Digital PR is similar to traditional PR but it offers the possibility to reach more people in a measurable and calculated way through a

 KPIs and improving a website’s organic performance. 

This modern marketing technique is an essential process for gathering authority online by focusing on building brand mentions, links from highly relevant publications and contributing external content and campaigns. 

The difference between digital PR and traditional PR

When you first think of PR, your mind will probably wander to newspapers and TV advertisements. Traditional PR involves networking with journalists to get featured in print publications. The goal of a publicist who specialises in traditional PR is to connect contacts and get content promoted or quoted in media (e.g. newspapers, magazines, radio, and television). Using a similar approach but for digital devices, digital PR provides opportunities in areas such as online interviews, improving an online presence and

A good digital PR campaign will combine the best of traditional PR with a focus on more modern solutions including content marketing, SEO, and social media. A digital PR specialist uses a variety of tactics to improve the presence of a company or client. Some of these tactics include:

What’s included in a digital PR campaign?

Creating a digital PR campaign will come with a range of different objectives and ideas depending on company goals and demographics. However, they all involve the same basic steps and processes.

With the main objective to be to raise brand awareness and build connections, here are several other benefits that digital PR can offer:

"Digital PRs should ensure they take time to understand how new tools such as AI actually work before integrating them into their day-to-day. I see a lot of people relying on tools like ChatGPT for copywriting. This simply won’t fly with journalists and they're very likely to go as far as to reject the content. They’re becoming increasingly cautious of AI-generated content - and for good reason! PR is all about communication; getting a message out there and ensuring it's understood by the right people. If you take the human element away your message won't hit with the impact required to fulfill your end goals. AI is a great tool for research and idea generation but whether you're practising ‘traditional’ or digital PR, approaching your communication in a human way will allow you to tap in and find the angles and stories that the media are really looking for. Digital PR is as much about sharing the right messages as any other form of comms (I'd argue some people forget that), and links, improved SEO and Domain Authority don't mean much if the brand association isn't spot on."
