As Seen In
Geelong's economy moved past its manufacturing-town identity years ago, rebuilding around health services, insurance and financial services, and advanced materials, with the Surf Coast growth corridor adding a genuine population and property story on top. Local and Melbourne media still default to a post-industrial framing more often than the current economy warrants, which leaves plenty of genuinely current Geelong stories underpitched.
Odin Digital builds Geelong media programmes around where the city's economy actually sits today. We chart the journalists covering health, insurance and financial services, advanced materials and the Surf Coast growth corridor — locally and in Melbourne — and shape angles around what is genuinely happening now rather than a decade-old transition narrative. See our national PR agency services, or pair earned media with brand strategy and brand activations.

Why Geelong Pitches Get Ignored.
The common Geelong mistake is pitching a modern health, insurance or materials story wrapped in manufacturing-legacy language, because that's still the framing device journalists reach for. The actual news — a clinical result, an underwriting data point, a materials breakthrough — gets diluted by a transition narrative that no longer matches reality.
The second issue is handling Geelong as a satellite of Melbourne instead of pitching it on its own terms. A story genuinely relevant to Melbourne business or property press gets sent only to local Geelong outlets, or, in reverse, a genuinely local Geelong story is ignored because it was framed as a Melbourne story and never reached the right desk.
The Cost of Generic Pitching.
Where Your Story
Finds Its Audience.
Relationships, Angles, Placements.
We work out who covers health, insurance and financial services, advanced materials and Surf Coast growth across Geelong and Melbourne, ground each angle in what is happening now rather than legacy framing, approach desks individually, rehearse your spokespeople, and keep every placement working afterwards.
Geelong Media Mapping & Angles
We map the journalists, producers and editors actually covering your category in Geelong, then build a pipeline of angles they can run — drawn from your data, customers and operations rather than announcements.
Pitch, Placement & Amplification
Tailored pitching, spokesperson prep and interview management, then every placement worked afterwards — quoted on your site, amplified socially and used as an authority signal for search.
Coverage that keeps paying long after the news cycle moves on.
The 3-Pillar System.
Geelong Media Landscape Audit
Mapping covers the media relevant to your sector — Melbourne business and property press, Geelong local media, insurance and financial services trade titles, and the outlets covering the Surf Coast growth corridor — and we review coverage to date alongside your rivals.
Angle Development & Pitching
Angles come from your own data, research and customers, framed around Geelong's current economy — health outcomes, underwriting or claims data, materials research, or population and property growth — rather than a post-manufacturing narrative. Each is taken out on its own, with the spokesperson briefed first.
Placement Amplification
Every placement earns its keep: featured on your site, shared with your followers and subscribers, and cited to strengthen your search footprint, so one good story builds brand search, referrals and standing with buyers in both Geelong and Melbourne.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
PR runs as a monthly retainer scoped to pitch volume and target list, not a per-placement fee. Geelong programmes are typically scoped around a mix of local Geelong media and the Melbourne trade and business press relevant to your category.
Yes, and it's a common brief. The work usually means pitching genuine health, insurance or advanced materials stories on their current substance, rather than framing them around a manufacturing-to-services transition that's already happened.
Yes, where the story genuinely warrants it. Health, insurance, financial services and property stories relevant to Geelong regularly compete for Melbourne business press coverage, and we pitch directly into that market rather than treating it as out of reach.
First placements usually land within four to eight weeks, typically in trade or specialist press where the fit is clearest. Broader Melbourne coverage tends to follow once there's a track record and a prepared spokesperson.
Yes. Population and property growth through Torquay, Armstrong Creek and Ocean Grove is a genuine and current story, and we pitch it as such to property and lifestyle press rather than folding it into a generic Geelong-growth angle.
For workforce, community standing and local customers, yes. For Melbourne buyers, trade press usually does more than metro coverage. We run both rather than treating local coverage as a stepping stone to a Melbourne placement that may never reach a decision-maker anyway.
Only to the extent you are genuinely part of it. The narrative is well understood by local media, which means overstated association is easy to spot. Grounding it in your actual investment, capability or workforce is what makes it credible.
Well ahead of the season you want visitors in. Travel media and regional destination coverage plan months out, and the practical detail and imagery need to be ready at pitch time rather than after interest arrives.

Don't take our word for it. Here's what business owners and marketing directors say about working with Odin Digital.
“Can't recommend enough”
Lucas & the agency is honestly one of the best things that ever happened to my business. When I first started working with him for SEO and ads, he went way beyond that - dropping knowledge on pricing, funnels, and how to actually structure things to scale. I was doing $20k months on my own, then after working with Lucas on a new product launch, I was averaging over $100k a month. Mostly thanks to advice I never even paid for. Five years later, he still runs my ads and I still call him for guidance. If you're serious about your business, working with Lucas & Odin Digital is a high leverage move.
“Finally found the perfect growth program”
Their data-driven approach to SEO put us on the first page of Google for our most competitive keywords. Revenue is up 180%. Working with the Odin team feels incredibly personalised.
“This is the way marketing should be done”
The team at Odin doesn't just run ads - they re-engineered our growth systems. Our ROAS improved from 2x to 6x in just 90 days. It's clear they care about giving customers a proactive, user-friendly experience.
“A true extension of our team”
From day one, Odin felt like an in-house team. They took the time to understand our industry, built a strategy around our goals, and delivered results that exceeded every benchmark we set. Our cost per acquisition dropped by 62%.
“Results that speak for themselves”
We'd been burned by agencies before, so we were skeptical. Odin proved us wrong within the first quarter - organic traffic up 210%, and our pipeline has never been healthier. They actually do what they say they'll do.
“Extremely Happy With The Results”
Bulk Buys has been working with the team for the last couple of months and we have been extremely happy with the results the team has achieved in such a short time. Communication and service provided by the team has been excellent. Thank you Alf & Calum!

How PR and media relations connects to the rest of your Geelong marketing
In Geelong, PR and media relations is normally one part of a bigger plan. The adjacent work is where compounding gains come from. The same team also handles SEO in Geelong, Google Ads management in Geelong, web design in Geelong, Facebook and Instagram ads in Geelong, branding in Geelong, brand identity design in Geelong, graphic design in Geelong, event and brand activation in Geelong and rebranding in Geelong, so the strategy, tracking and reporting stay in one place rather than being split across three suppliers.
Depending on where the bottleneck sits, the next step is usually content marketing, digital PR and link building and social media. The scope, deliverables and guarantee are set out on our national PR and media relations service page, and the four phases we run every engagement through are on the Odin Method page.
Beyond Geelong, you can compare markets on the locations hub or read how we work by sector on the industries hub. If you would rather talk it through, book a strategy call and we will map the highest-leverage channel for your market.
