Public Relations with Fexingo: PR, Media Outreach, and Earned Media Strategy

How B2B Brands Build PR Resilience Through Community 02.10.2026 9p

Most B2B PR teams treat media relations as a transactional pitch, sending out press releases and hoping for coverage. This episode explores how leading brands are shifting to community-led public relations, where engagement with niche professional groups drives organic earned media. We examine the mechanics of building trust within micro-communities before seeking external validation, using specific examples from software and industrial sectors. Learn why journalists now prefer sourcing stories from active community discussions rather than corporate inboxes, and how to structure your outreach to align with that shift. #B2BPR #EarnedMedia #CommunityLedMarketing #PublicRelationsStrategy #JournalistOutreach #ContentDistribution #BrandTrust #DigitalMarketing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MediaRelations #AudienceBuilding #ThoughtLeadership #CorporateCommunications #MarketingTrends #OnlineCommunities #ReputationManagement #GrowthHacking Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

How Data Journalism Transformed Corporate PR 01.10.2026 9p

In October 2026, the line between data science and public relations has vanished. This episode examines how companies like Airbnb are using proprietary internal datasets to generate earned media coverage that traditional press releases can never achieve. We explore the mechanics of 'data journalism' as a PR strategy, why journalists now prefer original research over opinion pieces, and how business leaders can ethically mine their own operational data for stories. We also discuss the specific risks of data privacy, the rise of the 'research-driven' journalist, and how to structure a dataset so it tells a compelling narrative without exposing sensitive customer information. If you are tired of pitching opinions and want to pitch facts, this is your playbook. #DataJournalism #EarnedMedia #PublicRelations #Airbnb #ProprietaryData #ContentStrategy #MarketingTrends2026 #BusinessIntelligence #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #PRStrategy #MediaOutreach #CorporateCommunications #DataEthics #JournalistRelations #B2BMarketing #Storytelling #Analytics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

How Crisis PR Wins Trust When Silence Fails 30.09.2026 10p

Most brands panic when a product fails or a data breach hits, defaulting to legal-speak and delayed responses. But in September 2026, the fastest path to recovery isn't silence—it's radical transparency. We examine how a major logistics firm turned a massive supply chain collapse into a trust-building moment by publishing real-time operational data instead of hiding behind press releases. Lucas breaks down why admitting fault publicly actually lowers customer churn, while Luna challenges whether this 'open book' approach works for every industry, from tech startups to healthcare providers. You will learn the specific framework for drafting a crisis statement that prioritizes facts over feelings, and why journalists now reward honesty more than perfection. #CrisisManagement #PublicRelations #BrandTrust #MediaStrategy #TransparentCommunication #CustomerRetention #LogisticsCaseStudy #PRFailures #EarnedMedia #BusinessResilience #ReputationRisk #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketingInsights #CorporateApology #DataTransparency #SupplyChainCrises #JournalistRelations Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

How PR Wins When You Stop Pitching 29.09.2026 9p

Most PR teams treat media relations like a volume game: blast out press releases, track open rates, and hope something sticks. But in September 2026, that approach is failing because journalists are overwhelmed by AI-generated noise. In this episode, we look at the counterintuitive strategy of 'stealth PR'—building relationships with niche communities and subject-matter experts long before you need coverage. We break down how a mid-sized logistics firm avoided a crisis by embedding their data insights into industry forums instead of pitching major outlets. Learn why stopping the pitch can actually start the conversation. #PublicRelations #EarnedMedia #JournalistRelations #MarketingStrategy #PRTips #MediaOutreach #ContentMarketing #BrandStorytelling #CrisisComms #B2BMarketing #DigitalPR #InfluencerRelations #CommunityBuilding #DataDrivenPR #NewsroomInsights #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

How Internal Data Wins External Press Coverage 20.09.2026 9p
