Most link building is a slow burn. You pitch, you wait, you follow up, you wait some more. That's fine, it works, and we do a lot of it. But sometimes a brand needs visibility now. A product launch. A study. A moment worth amplifying.
That's where the Media Blitz comes in.
We've run it for clients across industries, and the results keep making the same point: when you have newsworthy content and a distribution machine behind it, coverage happens at a scale that traditional outreach alone can't match.
Here are two campaigns that show exactly what that looks like.
Software Company: Survey Content That Earned 220 Links
This Software Company makes accounting and payroll tools for small businesses. Not exactly a category known for viral content. But they had a real angle and we helped them turn it into a media moment.
The campaign was built around a hiring survey. The hook: 44% of job seekers won't apply to a job that doesn't list pay. That stat hit the right nerve in 2026, landing squarely in the intersection of employer anxiety and worker expectations.
Once the content was published on their company blog, we pushed it through our media distribution network and layered in targeted journalist outreach. The result:
- 220 links gained
- 18.5K estimated views
- 37 average DR across placements
Top placements included MSN (DR 94), Yahoo Finance (DR 93), AOL (DR 93), and the Miami Herald (DR 90). The kind of outlets you don't typically land through cold outreach alone.

A Banking Client: 300+ Pickups and 40K Views
For a bank client, we built the campaign around consumer credit literacy, more specifically, what 50% of consumers don't know about managing credit. Relatable, shareable, broadly appealing.
The distribution did what it's supposed to do.
- 300+ total pickups
- 40K+ estimated views
- 47 average DA across placements
Top links came from MSN (DR 94), Yahoo Finance (DR 93), AOL (DR 93), Miami Herald (DR 90), Charlotte Observer, Sacramento Bee, and Kansas City Star, among others. Geographic spread was wide too — Texas and Wisconsin led with 17 pickups each, followed by Iowa, New York, North Carolina, and Nebraska.
For a brand in a trust-heavy industry like banking, that kind of broad, credible coverage isn't just about links. It's about being seen in the right places.
What Makes the Media Blitz Work
Both campaigns ran the same playbook: survey-driven content built around a compelling data hook, published on the client's site first, then pushed through distribution.
The service includes topic ideation, survey creation and deployment (1,000 respondents), graphic creation, and 30 hours of promotion. It's not a replacement for traditional link building. It's a complement to it, a way to generate volume and visibility quickly when the timing matters and the content is worth amplifying.
If you've got a study, an announcement, or a data story that deserves more than a handful of manual placements, the Media Blitz is worth a look.
