You’ve got a business in Hastings that’s doing something worth attention, but let’s be honest, no one’s paying any. You might be relying on word-of-mouth, hoping your social media picks up steam, or thinking local press will eventually notice. But it’s not happening.
Pearl Lemon PR doesn’t believe in waiting around. We believe in making it happen.
If you’re tired of blending in while competitors with less substance get all the attention, you’re in the right place. We specialise in delivering PR that lands in print, online, and across the digital platforms that shape local and national opinion.

There are PR firms that talk. Then there are PR firms that place. We’re the second kind.
We don’t do fluff. We don’t do buzzwords. What we do is get your business in front of the press, the public, and the people you need to influence, backed by strong messaging, technical accuracy, and a sharp understanding of the Hastings market.
If you’ve been firing out press releases and hearing crickets, you’re not alone. Journalists in Hastings and beyond receive hundreds of irrelevant pitches a day. What cuts through isn’t a fancy subject line—it’s relevance, timing, and credibility.
We build relationships with editors, local reporters, trade publications, and sector-specific journalists. This means we can pitch your story with authority and get it placed where it counts—online, in print, and even broadcast.
We’ll craft the angle, the timing, and the pitch based on the news cycle and the publication’s format. That’s how placements happen—not through guesswork, but through understanding media mechanics.
You want links? Not just any links—editorial, high-quality backlinks that Google cares about. That’s what Digital PR is for.
We run data-led campaigns that tie directly into your SEO strategy. We combine story hooks, infographics, original research, and reactive commentary to build topical authority.
The benefit? You get branded mentions, contextually relevant backlinks, and keyword movement for competitive terms. We’ve seen 40-60% improvement in organic visibility within three months for Hastings-based businesses using this method.
One bad review, one customer complaint going viral, one poorly thought-out tweet. That’s all it takes to get your reputation shredded in a town like Hastings, where word spreads immediately.
We build swift-response frameworks customised to your business. These include escalation protocols, internal communication scripts, and pre-approved public statements. We also train your staff on how to deal with journalist enquiries, FOI requests, and online backlash.
If you already have a problem brewing, we’ll assess the reputational damage, plug the gaps, and manage the conversation until it dies down. If you haven’t had one yet, we’ll make sure you’re ready when it comes.
You’ve been running your business for years. You know your field better than anyone else. But no one else does. That’s a problem.
We ghostwrite columns, produce industry commentary, and pitch editorial features under your name to give your voice authority in your field. You don’t need to write a word—we’ll extract your thinking in a short interview, shape it, and place it in high-trust platforms.
Thought leadership helps raise your profile, win speaking gigs, attract partnerships, and even improve investor confidence. Especially in sectors like construction, health, legal, and finance, this kind of visibility builds long-term value.
Forget Instagram models with a million fake followers. We connect you with Hastings-based micro-influencers and niche content creators with actual local reach.
We don’t just look at vanity metrics. We analyse engagement ratios, comment sentiment, and audience demographics before shortlisting candidates. Then we negotiate usage rights, deliverables, and tracking attribution methods.
This is PR with precision—engineered to get branded mentions, content shares, and referral traffic across social platforms that your local market is using.
Launching a product? Holding a fundraiser? Sponsoring a Hastings community event? Without PR, you’re just throwing money into a room and hoping people care.
We manage media attendance, create pre-event coverage, coordinate with local influencers and photographers, and ensure you’re featured in post-event write-ups. We also use geo-targeted press release distribution for Hastings-based media outlets.
This way, you not only get footfall and buzz, you also get digital proof of activity that you can use in funding proposals, partnership pitches, and case studies.
When your online presence starts working against you, it’s time to take control.
We run sentiment audits using review platforms, press mentions, Google searches, and social media tagging. We track negative patterns and identify the sources—whether they’re customer complaints, competitor sabotage, or algorithmic bias.
Then we work to displace negative content with positive branded assets, owned content, digital PR placements, and verified third-party reviews. We’ve helped Hastings businesses go from 2.8-star ratings to 4.3+ in under six months using this structured approach.
Some businesses need more than one approach. If you’ve got multiple problems—weak web visibility, poor media reach, no backlinks, no engagement—we build an integrated campaign that threads everything together.
We look at your sales funnel, marketing assets, content gaps, brand perception, and technical SEO. Then we align our PR campaign with your growth goals. You’ll have a unified message going out across every touchpoint, from your Google Business profile to your event banners.

Digital PR is built around acquiring backlinks from authoritative publications to improve your search rankings, while traditional PR focuses on reputation and visibility through print, radio, and TV. We blend both based on your needs.
No PR agency with any integrity can ensure placements. But we have active relationships with local journalists and a strong placement track record across Hastings Observer, Sussex Express, and BBC South East.
We use media coverage reports, backlink acquisition tracking, brand sentiment analysis, referral traffic, and keyword rank movement. Every campaign has clear KPIs and weekly or monthly reporting.
We begin with a risk audit, draft key message frameworks, prepare Q&A sheets, and build out public statements. We’ll also monitor press and social mentions in real-time, and advise on all press responses.
Some placements land within 7–14 days. SEO impact via Digital PR can take 4–8 weeks. Event PR usually delivers immediate footfall and digital coverage. Crisis PR starts acting the moment you sign off on our plan.
The sooner you act, the sooner you stop spinning your wheels. If you’re a business in Hastings and you’ve had enough of shouting into the void, let’s talk.
