Public Relations is not a press release. It is a process. At Laerryblue Media, every campaign is a coordinated journey, from the moment the client’s idea is formed to the second it appears on a trusted platform like Crest Africa, Talented Women Network, or Empire Magazine Africa. We do not just create stories. We structure visibility, and we do it with precision, partnership, and platform alignment.
This blog pulls back the curtain on how Laerryblue Media designs and delivers PR campaigns that not only get published but get remembered.

The Brief: Where Real Strategy Begins
Every campaign starts with a brief, but at Laerryblue Media, we treat it as more than a checklist. It’s a discovery phase where we ask:
- What is the story really about?
- Who needs to see it: customers, regulators, investors, or the general public?
- What platforms matter for this message?
For example, a DEI initiative would find its natural voice on Talented Women Network. A legacy feature would shine best in Empire Magazine Africa. And an innovation-driven founder story belongs on Crest Africa.
The outcome of our briefing process is a tailored roadmap for visibility.
Step 1: Message Architecture
Before we write, we architect. We define the voice, structure, and focus of the story. Our messaging blueprint includes:
- Campaign angle and hook
- Executive or brand spokesperson tone
- SEO-optimized keywords for distribution
- Clear alignment to specific platforms like Crest Africa or Empire Magazine Africa
This ensures consistency across all content formats, whether it’s a release, interview, blog post, or visual card.
Step 2: Content Development and Visual Assets
Next, we create content that works across mediums, and platforms. Our content team produces:
- News-ready press releases
- Long-form blogs or op-eds for depth
- Executive quotes and callouts
- Media cards and quote graphics for visual appeal
These materials are formatted not just for publication but for syndication, ready for platforms like Talented Women Network or headline-ready for Crest Africa.
Our visuals go through Canva Pro and Figma, tailored to fit the brand’s tone and the audience of the media outlet.
Step 3: Platform Targeting
This is where most PR campaigns fail. Distribution without targeting is noise. We select platforms based on:
- Topic fit
- Brand credibility goals
- Audience behavior
- Sector and geography
We prioritize:
- Crest Africa for tech, innovation, impact, and African leadership
- Talented Women Network for gender equity, diversity, and inclusive thought leadership
- Empire Magazine Africa for elite lifestyle, cultural relevance, and high-prestige narratives
We also identify mainstream and niche media platforms and assign roles: flagship outlet, amplification outlet, and social boost partners.
Step 4: Precision Distribution with Pressdia
We deploy your campaign via Pressdia, our trusted distribution partner. With Pressdia, we ensure:
- Press releases reach over 20,000 verified media outlets
- Stories appear on TechCabal, Guardian, Vanguard, and Yahoo Finance
- We gain visibility not just in print but across digital and diaspora platforms
Importantly, Pressdia integrates with Crest Africa, Talented Women Network, and Empire Magazine Africa, ensuring premium placement when relevance aligns.
Step 5: Journalist Engagement
After initial delivery, we go beyond. We engage journalists directly with:
- Personalized follow-up emails
- Offers for exclusive interviews
- Supplemental data or visuals
- Pitches tailored to journalists’ beats
If we know a Talented Women Network editor is focused on executive leadership stories this quarter, we align your pitch to that. If Crest Africa is curating a special list, we build momentum early.
Our approach is proactive and precise, not pushy.
Step 6: Pickup Monitoring and Amplification
Once coverage begins, we track every pickup. This includes:
- Mainstream and niche platforms
- Social media reposts
- Backlink tracking
- Sentiment and headline framing
We ensure that when you are featured on Empire Magazine Africa, the coverage is properly attributed, shared across your owned platforms, and optimized for reach.
We also create amplification kits for clients, snippets, carousel posts, and branded versions of their media coverage to extend shelf life.
Real Example: From Planning to Premium Placement
One of our recent clients, a sustainability consultant, had zero media exposure. Within six weeks:
- Her story was published via Pressdia and picked up by Guardian and Yahoo
- She was featured on Crest Africa as part of a Top 50 sustainability voices editorial
- She was invited to contribute an op-ed to Talented Women Network
- Empire Magazine Africa spotlighted her on a feature titled Women Who Redefine Climate Leadership
The ripple effects included a podcast invite, two consulting contracts, and a 300 percent increase in LinkedIn visibility.
Why Our Campaigns Succeed
- We treat PR as a system, not an event
- We align every message with the right platform
- We integrate with prestige networks like Crest Africa, Talented Women Network, and Empire Magazine Africa
- We optimize for relevance, visibility, and long-term brand trust
Our campaigns work because they are rooted in clarity and delivered with credibility.
Your Message Deserves More Than a Press Release
