PR agency for earned and paid placement

Get your story in front of the right journalistsand make sure it travels.

We pitch for earned tier-1 coverage and use paid placement when speed matters. Micro PR takes the story to niche KOLs and decision-makers. Amplification seeds it across X, Reddit, Telegram, Discord, and the forums where the conversation actually happens.

Our approach to PR

PR Marketing as a Collective

Manifesto PR Marketing works because it's never just us. Your team knows the story. Journalists decide if it's news. The KOLs and decision-makers we bring in are the ones who make people believe it. We coordinate all three, so getting placed is just the start. From there, other people pick it up and carry it further.

  • Earned placementTier-1 and trade press matched to the sector, founder or business line.
  • Native seedingOnce it lands, we push it across X, Reddit, Telegram, Discord, and the forums that pick it up.

The media landscape we monitor

Major publications shaping today's conversation.

Every pitch starts with tracking. We follow outlets, journalist beats and live publishing signal across tech, Web3, business, international and lifestyle media, so we know exactly who to approach and when.

Coverage is not the finish line. It is the start of distribution.

What we deliver

What does Manifesto PR actually include?

Earned journalist coverage, a thin official-record wire, Micro PR, social amplification, and paid placement when it’s the right tool for the job. Every channel earns its place here.

01

Earned media

Direct relationships with journalists. We pitch the right story to the right person, and keep pitching until a real story lands. Earned coverage can’t promise a specific outlet. Paid placement can, when that’s what you need.

Journalist coverage

02

News Wires

We’re selective about which wires we use, picking the ones worth paying for because of their reach and republishing network, not directories nobody reads. Where that’s not enough, we handle distribution ourselves for better visibility. No unlimited wire spam.

Official record

03

Micro PR

Once a story is live, we place it with hyper-niche KOLs, decision-makers and influencers who actually move a specific vertical. Real people your buyers already trust, not a spray of automated pages.

Niche influencers

04

Social amplification

We seed published coverage into more channels, communities and forums than a typical press release ever reaches. It’s not about being indexed. It’s about being shared and seen, on the networks and in the communities where your audience already spends time.

Community seeding

05

Modern media channels

Podcasts, X Spaces, newsletters, events and conferences are treated as core earned media, not secondary afterthoughts.

Podcasts + newsletters

06

Media intelligence

PR without a system is guesswork. We track every mention, every piece of coverage, every feature, and study your competitors the same way, so we always know where you stand and what to pitch next.

Mention tracking

07

SEO and AI-ready content

Every piece is optimized for three things at once: readers, search engine discoverability, and the AI systems that now answer questions before search does. Real SEO fundamentals, plus structure that lets tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity find it and cite it.

Search + AI citations

08

Investor relations

Funding rounds, milestones, and strategic shifts need a clear investor narrative — not just a press release. We shape the story for VCs, angels, and public-market stakeholders, align it with earned and wire channels, and keep messaging consistent across board updates and external comms.

Funding + stakeholders

The Manifesto system

How do we decide where a story belongs?

We map journalists, writers and editors across every platform. Current publishing activity, beat ownership, authority and relationship context all factor into where a story goes first.

Social Amplification takes over once coverage goes live, pushing it into the channels and communities where people are already talking. The result is a media system, not a one-day announcement.

01 / Baseline

Traditional PR & Syndication

Earned outreach, plus a thin baseline of one to two quality wires for the official record. Paid placement is available when a named outlet matters more than the wait.

02 / Authority & Credibility

Micro PR

Niche KOLs, decision-makers and influencers who move a specific vertical. Placements a mass-market pitch would never earn.

03 / Recognition & Traffic

Social Amplification

Published coverage seeded across Reddit, X, Quora, Telegram, Discord and beyond. Most PR agencies stop the moment a story goes live. We don’t.

Social amplification

Where coverage travels.

We adapt each story for the channels, communities and forums where people actually discover, discuss and share what matters.

How we work

How do PR engagements run?

01Diagnose

Audit the landscape

We map coverage, competitors and the live media conversation before a campaign dollar is committed.

02Scope

Lock the package mix

Three ways in: a package (Launch Foundations, Trust & Penetration, Hyper-Amplification), a monthly retainer, or a custom rate where you pick the publications yourself.

03Deliver

Write, pitch and amplify

Paid placements are arranged when you need maximum exposure on a named outlet — sponsored or partner coverage, never bought editorial. Earned outreach, a thin wire, Micro PR and social amplification run alongside that.

04Compound

Track and hand over

Placement tracker, KPI ledger, SEO/AEO export. The next wave starts from proof, not a press clip folder.

Campaign packages

Simple, transparent pricing

One ladder. Toggle the niche. Cards are a preview — click a package for the full list. Paid and seeded distribution is labelled. Earned pitching does not name a guaranteed outlet.

Broadcast crypto and blockchain news. Paid and seeded coverage on hyper-targeted crypto news stacks, plus earned pitching.

Media relations

Got real news? Placed. Flat stories? We pitch till we get it right.

If your announcement has a genuine newsworthy hook, editorial coverage follows naturally. If the angle isn't sharp yet, we work together to find what editors want to write and leverage direct media relationships until we secure the placement.

100% guaranteed placement for real news. Relentless pitching for the rest.

01

Finding the signal

Outlets don’t cover generic corporate updates. We audit the story, strip the noise, and isolate the angle editors are already looking to write.

02

Pitch till it fits

A miss gets rewritten and sent to the next right desk. Direct journalist relationships, iterated until the strongest earned placement lands. If a named outlet matters more than the process, paid placement is the more direct route.

03

Then it travels

Live coverage shouldn’t sit in a clip folder. The moment a piece is up, we seed it across Reddit, Product Hunt, X, video and the communities where your buyers and investors are already looking.

Questions, answered

PR questions, answered

Do you offer paid placement?

Yes, alongside earned coverage, and we’re upfront about which is which. Earned coverage is pitched until it lands, and we can’t promise a specific outlet that way. Paid placement can guarantee a named outlet directly. Packages start at $500, running Launch Foundations, Trust & Penetration, Hyper-Amplification.

What makes Manifesto different from a typical PR agency or PR firm?

Most PR firms stop once a story is placed. We treat that as the start, not the finish. Every engagement runs traditional PR at the core: earned coverage, one to two quality wires for the record, plus paid placement when it’s the faster route. On top of that, Micro PR (placing the story with niche KOLs, decision-makers and influencers) and Social Amplification (seeding published coverage across the channels, communities and forums where people are already talking). HQ is Kuala Lumpur; delivery is worldwide.

What is Micro PR?

Placement through niche KOLs, decision-makers and influencers instead of mass-market press. Real people who already have your buyer’s attention, briefed and coordinated the same way we’d brief a journalist. Included from the Trust & Penetration package up.

What is Social Amplification?

Once a story is published, most PR agencies consider the job done. Social Amplification is what we do next. We seed that coverage across more channels, communities and forums than a normal press release reaches, so it actually gets shared and seen, not just indexed. Included in the Hyper-Amplification package.

Which sectors do you cover?

Technology, AI, Web3 and ambitious brands in related categories, with Kuala Lumpur as our Asia HQ and delivery worldwide.

Do I need to learn your internal systems?

No. You get the strategy, the execution and clear reporting. The tracking, the mention monitoring and the competitor mapping happen behind the scenes so you don’t have to run it yourself.

How do engagements begin?

With a 30-minute PR audit. We map the opportunity, the channel mix, and whether earned pitching or paid placement gets you there faster.

What are the Lite / Standard / Premium / Gold campaign packages?

They are one-time PR campaign SKUs with a shared price ladder. Toggle PR Web3, PR AI or PR Ecommerce to swap the outlet stack. Counts are paid and seeded distribution targets, labelled as such. Earned journalist pitching does not guarantee a named outlet.
