Become the name tier-one media, search, and AI already trust.
Digitize is a PR-led brand and marketing agency for companies that intend to lead their category. We earn coverage in the outlets your buyers, investors, and recruits read, then build the brand, messaging, digital marketing, and AI search visibility that make it compound.
Client coverage includes
The premise
Authority is earned in public. Then it has to be engineered.
A single Bloomberg or Forbes story can change how investors, buyers, and candidates see a company. Most of that value leaks away within a week. We build everything around the coverage, so the story becomes your positioning, your search results, and the answer AI assistants give when someone asks who leads your category.
- Tier-one coverage is the core asset, not a line item.
- Brand and messaging are built to hold up under a reporter's questions.
- Every placement is structured to be cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews.
- Digital and social amplify earned media to the people who sign contracts.
- One partner leads your account from strategy to the final report.
What we do

View serviceThe partner network
The masthead is the start. The network is the reach.
Beyond staff reporters, we work with a vetted network of more than 200 independent journalists, contributors, editors, newsletter writers, bloggers, and creators. Each is chosen for editorial standards and audience quality, and each placement is chosen for what it does for search rankings and AI citations, not for volume.
How the network works
Vetted, not bought in bulk
Editorial track record, audience fit, domain authority, and crawlability are reviewed before anyone joins.
Built for AEO and GEO
High-authority, citable pages that AI engines quote and search engines rank, linked to the story your tier-one coverage tells.
Disclosed where required
We follow FTC guidance and each publication's policies. Quality and honesty protect your brand as much as ours.
Fit
Built for companies with something worth saying.
We work with
- Venture-backed companies from Series A onward, preparing a launch, a raise, an expansion, or an exit narrative.
- Growth and PE-backed companies that need their reputation to match their revenue.
- Enterprise, franchise, and multi-location brands that want a national story with local proof.
- Established consumer brands at $10M+ revenue moving into national retail and press.
- CEOs and executives building a public profile their board and market will notice.
We are not the right fit for
- Freelancers, solo consultants, and side projects.
- Pre-product startups that have not chosen a category.
- One-off press release distribution or "a quick feature."
- Budgets under $15,000 a month or $25,000 per project.
- Anyone looking for guaranteed placements in pay-to-play listicles.
We take on a limited number of new engagements each quarter so every account gets partner attention.

PR has not changed at its core: know the reporter, bring a real story, deliver it at the right moment. What has changed is how long a great story can keep working. We build for that second life, in search, in AI answers, and in every channel your buyers use.

Common questions
Before you apply.
What kind of agency is Digitize?
Digitize is a PR-led brand and marketing agency. Tier-one media relations is the core of every engagement. Brand strategy and messaging, digital marketing, executive thought leadership, our partner network, and AEO, GEO, and search visibility are built around that coverage so it compounds instead of fading after one news cycle.
Which outlets do your clients appear in?
Client coverage includes USA Today, Bloomberg, Forbes, Business Insider, TechCrunch, Yahoo Finance, HackerNoon, Fast Company, Inc., Entrepreneur, and the trade publications each client's buyers read. Every campaign plan names target outlets, desks, and reporters before work starts. We do not promise guaranteed placements; tier-one coverage is earned.
Who do you work with?
Venture-backed companies from Series A onward, growth and PE-backed companies, enterprise and multi-location brands, and established consumer brands. We are not the right fit for freelancers, solo consultants, pre-product startups, or one-off press release distribution.
What is the partner network?
A vetted network of more than 200 independent journalists, contributors, editors, newsletter writers, bloggers, and creators. It extends a campaign beyond the masthead and adds high-authority, citable pages that search engines rank and AI engines quote. Coverage is disclosed wherever disclosure is required.
How do AEO and GEO fit with PR?
Answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization (GEO) are the work of being cited when buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google AI Overviews for a recommendation. Those systems lean on credible published sources, so tier-one coverage is the strongest input. We structure each placement, your site, and your entity data so the coverage turns into citations and rankings.
What does an engagement cost?
Tier-One Launch campaigns start at $25,000. Authority Retainers start at $15,000 per month with a six-month minimum. Brand and Messaging Builds start at $60,000, and Enterprise Programs start at $30,000 per month. Every engagement begins with an application and a strategy call.
