A New Offering from Design Story PR
Your personalized press brief. 25 editors and freelance journalists matched to your work after a full brand review of your firm. Verified contact info, a tailored pitching plan, and a 30-minute strategy session with our team. Everything you need to give you the best chance to be published.
Most interior designers know they should be pitching press. Very few know who to pitch, what to say, or where to start.
You've seen competitors in magazines and wondered how they got there. You've thought about hiring a PR firm but the retainers start at $3,000 a month. You've maybe even sent a few cold emails to editors you found on Google and heard nothing back.
The problem was never your work. It was never your talent. It was that nobody handed you the right names, the right angles, and the right words.
Not a generic database. 25 editors and freelance journalists hand-selected after a full review of your brand, your design style, and your body of work. Many freelancers write for multiple publications, multiplying your reach from a single relationship. Each contact comes with their name, outlet, verified email, and what they've published recently.
Every contact includes a written explanation of why they're relevant to your firm. What they cover, what stories they respond to, and the angle that would catch their attention based on your specific work.
Proven pitch structures developed through 100+ published placements. Not templates from a blog. Frameworks built from years of placing designers in the publications you want to be in.
A one-on-one call with our team to walk through your brief, prioritize your outreach, and answer every question you have. Redeemable within 90 days of purchase.
This is not for designers just starting out with no work to show. The editors in your brief are real people covering real projects. You need real work to pitch them.
