Data-story PR studio

Turn your data into stories journalists run

Pressfold is a boutique PR studio built around one idea: original data earns coverage that pitches alone never will. We design the research, write the angle and place it with editors and reporters who actually cover your field — so the links and mentions are byproducts of a story, not the favour you asked for.

What we do

From a dataset to a headline

Original research & surveys

We commission surveys, mine public datasets and analyse your own numbers to surface a finding that hasn't been reported yet — the seed every good story grows from.

Story packaging

Charts, a tight news angle, quotable lines and a press-ready page. We hand reporters something they can publish, not a brief they have to rewrite.

Targeted outreach

Pitches to named journalists and niche editors who cover your subject, with the data attached and the angle spelled out. No spray, no blast lists.

How a campaign runs

Four steps from idea to coverage

  1. Find the angle

    We start from your audience and your goal, then look for a question the data can answer in a way a reporter would care about.

  2. Build the data

    Survey, dataset analysis or a fresh cut of your own numbers — collected and checked so the finding holds up to scrutiny.

  3. Package the story

    A headline finding, supporting charts, expert quotes and a landing page journalists can cite and link to.

  4. Place it

    Targeted, personal outreach to the people who cover your space — then we track every pickup, mention and link.
