Hack it or jack it? Be the news don't chase it

Brighton, October 2025

This talk is suitable for all digital PRs, whatever your level of experience.


News jacking is an age old traditional and digital PR tactic: piggybacking on breaking news with relevant content to promote a brand, product or message. It's often effective if you are fast and first, but also a highly competitive and therefore not a consistent way to gain coverage as there are multiple other brands and agencies vying for the same limelight.

What if, instead of hopping on there was a way you could predict breaking news and trends to create the story? Ensuring your brand/brands are always first to generate coverage and be the authority on hot topics.

This talk - aimed at digital PR beginners, intermediates and pros - will show you the strategy and resources you need to do just that.
