Paid
Media buying across native, display, paid social and sponsored content, bought for the audience it reaches rather than the impressions it counts.
Sentinel is a digital public relations agency for brands that want the right kind of attention. We combine Digital PR, media placement, strategic outreach and media buying to put you in front of the audiences that matter, in the places they already trust.
The right attention changes everything.
Your brand doesn’t need to be everywhere. It needs to be in the right places.
We find the publications, journalists, platforms and audiences that matter to your business. Then we plan paid media, publisher placements and earned coverage around one story, so every appearance builds the same reputation.

All figures in this section are illustrative examples of Sentinel’s report format. They do not describe a real client.
Before Sentinel launched, our team wrote and distributed press releases for brands in restoration, construction, accounting, technology and local business. That work now sits inside every Sentinel programme.
Paid press release distribution and sponsored placements, not editorial coverage. Client names are withheld. Outlet names are shown for reference only and do not imply endorsement.
Don’t ask, “Can we get the placement?”
Media isn’t inventory. Every opportunity we bring you passes the same test of audience, credibility and fit before anyone talks price. It’s how we run media relations, publisher placements and paid media alike.
We map the publications, audiences, journalists and conversations around your market.
Each opportunity is weighed on five things:
Paid, placed and earned activity, planned and run as one campaign instead of three separate ones.
Repeated presence in credible places turns recognition into trust, and trust into influence.
Media and PR for your clients, delivered under your name.
Resell digital PR, media placement, media buying and AI visibility work under your own brand, without building a publisher network. We do the work. Your agency keeps the client relationship.
Unbranded deliverables. We never contact your clients unless you ask us to.
Pick the starting point that fits your goal. We’d rather earn the second project than oversell the first.

Resell digital PR, media placement and media buying under your own brand, with wholesale pricing you can quote on the spot.
Notes on media, attention and influence.
A digital public relations agency earns and buys attention for brands online. At Sentinel that means journalist outreach, publisher features, sponsored placements, paid media and thought leadership, all planned around the audience you need to reach.
Links can come from our work, but they aren’t the goal. We judge every placement on audience, relevance and credibility first, and we label paid placements as paid in every report.
No. Editors decide what they publish. We commit to the work: researched story angles, relevant media targets and honest reporting on what landed and what didn’t.
In the US, digital PR retainers commonly run from $3,000 to $15,000 a month, depending on how many campaigns you run and how ambitious they are. See our pricing page for Sentinel’s current packages.
No one controls what an AI assistant says. Our AI search visibility work improves your odds by earning credible coverage in the sources those assistants cite most, and by keeping the facts about your company consistent across the web.
Yes. Agencies resell our white label PR, media placement and media buying under their own brand. We deliver unbranded work and never contact your clients unless you ask us to.
Tell us what you’re trying to achieve and who you need to reach. We’ll reply within one business day and tell you honestly where your brand should be seen, and where it shouldn’t.
