News and PR services in Kolkata

Earned coverage built on stories journalists can use, not blanket distribution to lists nobody reads.

What actually gets published

Journalists reject most press releases for the same reasons: there is no news, the claim cannot be verified, the announcement matters only to the company making it, or the release arrives without a quote, a figure or an image anyone can use.

We start by testing whether you have a story. A funding round, a genuinely new product, a plant or office opening, a hiring commitment, a partnership, original data from your own operations, or informed commentary on a policy change all qualify. A rebranded logo usually does not.

Where the story is thin, we say so and look for the angle that is real, often the data you already hold or the operational detail that makes your business unusual.

Writing and targeting the release

Releases are written to house style: a headline that states the news, a first paragraph that answers what happened and why it matters, quotes that say something rather than praising the company, verifiable figures, and a boilerplate with real contact details.

Distribution is targeted rather than blanket. We build lists of the specific correspondents covering your sector, from Kolkata and West Bengal outlets through national business press and trade publications, and pitch them individually with an angle that fits what they write.

Regional coverage matters for local businesses and is often easier to earn, so Bengali-language outlets and city desks are part of the plan rather than an afterthought. Materials are prepared in the appropriate language, with a spokesperson available to speak it, because a translated quote rarely survives an edit.

Beyond the release: sustained media relations

One-off releases produce one-off coverage. Sustained visibility comes from being a source journalists return to, which means offering your specialists for comment on stories in your sector, responding fast when a reporter is on deadline, and having a prepared point of view before the news breaks.

We prepare spokespeople with message houses and practise the difficult questions, so an interview does not become the story for the wrong reasons.

Awards submissions, speaking applications and bylined comment pieces fill the gaps between announcements and give your team something credible to reference. They also build search visibility around your company name, since a journalist checking you out will read whatever currently ranks for it.

Newsroom, disclosure and reputation

Your own site needs a working newsroom: releases as indexable pages rather than downloadable files, high-resolution images with usage terms, executive biographies, a media contact who answers, and Article or NewsArticle structured data.

That newsroom is also what search engines and AI assistants read when someone looks up your company, so it does quiet reputation work between campaigns.

Paid placements, sponsored articles and influencer partnerships are labelled as such. Undisclosed paid coverage breaches advertising self-regulation guidance in India and, more practically, it destroys the credibility that makes earned coverage worth having. Readers and journalists both notice, and the outlet that runs an unlabelled piece for you once will rarely take your call again.

FAQ

News & PR: questions we are asked

Funding, a genuinely new product or service, a facility opening, significant hiring, a notable partnership, original data from your operations, or informed commentary on a policy change affecting your sector. Internal milestones and rebrands rarely clear the bar on their own. We assess your story honestly before recommending distribution.
