Public Relations for Founders: Earning Coverage Without a Big Budget

Editors are not looking for adverts dressed as news. They are looking for stories with evidence, timing and a human centre.

Editorial sample: this is illustrative editorial content produced by the 247FORTIFY360 desk, not reported news about named individuals.

Find the angle, not the announcement

"We launched a product" is not a story. "A Ghanaian company cut delivery times in half for rural pharmacies" is. The difference is consequence.

The materials every founder should have ready

  • A one-page company backgrounder
  • Two founder headshots and three product images at print resolution
  • Three data points you can defend
  • A named, reachable media contact

Measure what matters

Practical tip: Track referral traffic, branded search volume and inbound enquiries in the 30 days after coverage — not just the number of clippings.
