Zero‑budget PR: Practical tips for small companies

Running a low‑budget PR campaign starts with a clear, compelling story. Identify the core problem your company solves, who benefits, and why you’re passionate about it.

Distill this into a concise “elevator pitch” you can drop into emails, social posts, or phone calls. Next, assemble a simple press kit using free tools such as Proton Docs for text and Canva for a logo or visual assets. Include a one‑page company overview, key statistics, founder bios, and a few high‑resolution images taken with a smartphone and lightly edited with free software like GIMP. Host these files on a public Proton Drive link or on your website, and make sure a dedicated press‑contact email (for example, press@yourcompany.com) is clearly displayed on your site’s Contact page. A well‑maintained business profiles in search engines such as Google or Bing also helps you appear in local searches, which many journalists use when looking for nearby stories.

When reaching out to journalists, target outlets that are most likely to cover a small, local, or niche story. Local newspapers, regional business magazines, community radio stations, and student media at nearby universities are often eager for fresh content and typically have lower barriers to entry. Niche industry blogs, newsletters, and podcasts that focus on your market segment can also be valuable partners. Craft each pitch with a personal touch: address the reporter by name, reference a recent article they wrote, and open with a strong hook—a surprising statistic, a human‑interest anecdote, or a succinct statement of impact. Follow the hook with a brief paragraph that explains why your story matters to their audience, and finish with a clear call to action, such as offering an exclusive interview, early access to a product demo, or unique data that supports a larger trend. Keep the entire pitch to one paragraph plus a short bullet‑style list of possible angles, ensuring it can be read quickly.

Because you lack a paid PR budget, leverage free distribution channels to amplify your reach. Submit a basic press release to free aggregators, which can still land your news in search results and be picked up by smaller publications. Don't forget about replying to upcoming queries from journalists. Publish a concise story as a LinkedIn article. You can tag journalists or influencers who cover your industry; this can attract organic shares and comments. If a journalist declines, politely ask whether they would keep you in mind for future coverage, maintaining a courteous relationship for later opportunities.

Beyond earned media, turn your existing customers and partners into PR allies. Encourage satisfied users to share short testimonials or quick video clips, offering modest incentives such as a free month of service or a public shout‑out rather than cash. Identify blogs or podcasts that accept guest contributors and pitch topics that showcase your expertise while solving a problem for their audience. On social media, celebrate milestones, like reaching your first hundred users or launching a new feature, with eye‑catching graphics and relevant hashtags, and tag industry influencers who might reshare your post. Finally, explore partnership or co‑marketing ideas with non‑competing businesses that serve the same target market; swapping blog posts, co‑hosting webinars, or cross‑promoting newsletters can expand your visibility without any financial outlay.

Putting these steps together creates a sustainable, no‑budget PR engine. Start by solidifying your story and press kit, then systematically reach out to local and niche journalists with personalized, concise pitches. Amplify those efforts through free distribution platforms and by mobilizing your customers, partners, and social followers. Consistent storytelling, genuine outreach, and leveraging the enthusiasm of your community can generate credible media coverage and raise awareness for your small company, even without hiring a professional PR firm.

And if you need some free PR advice from PR agency, don't forget to ask @mediascopegroup by publishing a post with hashtag #AskMSG. We are always happy to help you.

When you are forced to go on work a Saturday because some dumb-ass found funny tu plug a RJ45 in 2 port (the same cable), so we where spammed of warning from the storm control and other system that disabled port in chain to prevent a network failure.

Go to work, to enter, unplug the cable, restart the system that disabled themselves, check the camera, make a report and go back.

“There is no such thing as a dysfunctional organization, because every organization is perfectly aligned to achieve the results it currently gets”*…

… and if we’re not careful, we might not be too pleased with what we get. Sam Altman says the one-person billion-dollar company is coming. Evan Ratliff tells the tale of his attempt to build a completely AI-automated venture…

… If you’ve spent any time consuming any AI news this year—and even if you’ve tried desperately not to—you may have heard that in the industry, 2025 is the “year of the agent.” This year, in other words, is the year when AI systems are evolving from passive chatbots, waiting to field our questions, to active players, out there working on our behalf.
There’s not a well agreed upon definition of AI agents, but generally you can think of them as versions of large language model chatbots that are given autonomy in the world. They are able to take in information, navigate digital space, and take action. There are elementary agents, like customer service assistants that can independently field, triage, and handle inbound calls, or sales bots that can cycle through email lists and spam the good leads. There are programming agents, the foot soldiers of vibe coding. OpenAI and other companies have launched “agentic browsers” that can buy plane tickets and proactively order groceries for you.
In the year of our agent, 2025, the AI hype flywheel has been spinning up ever more grandiose notions of what agents can be and will do. Not just as AI assistants, but as full-fledged AI employees that will work alongside us, or instead of us. “What jobs are going to be made redundant in a world where I am sat here as a CEO with a thousand AI agents?” asked host Steven Bartlett on a recent episode of The Diary of a CEO podcast. (The answer, according to his esteemed panel: nearly all of them). Dario Amodei of Anthropic famously warned in May that AI (and implicitly, AI agents) could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs in the next one to five years. Heeding that siren call, corporate giants are embracing the AI agent future right now—like Ford’s partnership with an AI sales and service agent named “Jerry,” or Goldman Sachs “hiring” its AI software engineer, “Devin.” OpenAI’s Sam Altman, meanwhile, talks regularly about a possible billion-dollar company with just one human being involved. San Francisco is awash in startup founders with virtual employees, as nearly half of the companies in the spring class of Y Combinator are building their product around AI agents.
Hearing all this, I started to wonder: Was the AI employee age upon us already? And even, could I be the proprietor of Altman’s one-man unicorn? As it happens, I had some experience with agents, having created a bunch of AI agent voice clones of myself for the first season of my podcast, Shell Game.
I also have an entrepreneurial history, having once been the cofounder and CEO of the media and tech startup Atavist, backed by the likes of Andreessen Horowitz, Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, and Eric Schmidt’s Innovation Endeavors. The eponymous magazine we created is still thriving today. I wasn’t born to be a startup manager, however, and the tech side kind of fizzled out. But I’m told failure is the greatest teacher. So I figured, why not try again? Except this time, I’d take the AI boosters at their word, forgo pesky human hires, and embrace the all-AI employee future…

Eminently worth reading in full: “All of My Employees Are AI Agents, and So Are My Executives,” from @evrat.bsky.social in @wired.com.

Via Caitlin Dewey (@caitlindewey.bsky.social), whose tease/summary puts it plainly:

Ratliff, the undefeated king of tech journalism stunts, is back with another banger: For this piece and the accompanying podcast series, he created a start-up staffed entirely by so-called AI agents. The agents can communicate by email, Slack, text and phone, both with Ratliff and among themselves, and they have free range to complete tasks like writing code and searching the open internet. Despite their capabilities, however, the whole project’s a constant farce. A funny, stupid, telling farce that says quite a lot about the future of work that many technologists envision now…

As we analyze autonomy, we might we might spare a jaundiced thought for Trofim Denisovich Lysenko; he died on this date in 1976. A Soviet biologist and agronomist, he believed the Mendelian theory of heredity to be wrong, and developed his own, allowing for “soft inheritance”– the heretability of learned behavior. (He believed that in one generation of a hybridized crop, the desired individual could be selected and mated again and continue to produce the same desired product, without worrying about separation/segregation in future breeds–he assumed that after a lifetime of developing (acquiring) the best set of traits to survive, those must be passed down to the next generation.)

In many way Lysenko’s theories recall Lamarck’s “organic evolution” and its concept of “soft evolution” (the passage of learned traits), though Lysenko denied any connection. He followed I. V. Michurin’s fanciful idea that plants could be forced to adapt to any environmental conditions, for example converting summer wheat to winter wheat by storing the seeds in ice. With Stalin’s support for two decades, he actively obstructed the course of Soviet biology, caused the imprisonment and death of many of the country’s eminent biologists who disagreed with him, and imposed conditions that contributed to the disastrous decline of Soviet agriculture and the famines that resulted.

Interestingly, some current research suggests that heritable learning– or a semblance of it– may in fact be happening by virtue of epigenetics… though nothing vaguely resembling Lysenko’s theory.
