As Seen In




Gold Coast media coverage skews heavily toward tourism, events and lifestyle, because that's what the local press pack is built to cover and what national outlets expect from the city. That's a real problem for the growing number of Gold Coast businesses in health, technology, education and property, whose stories don't fit the tourism frame and get overlooked by journalists defaulting to the familiar angle.
Odin Digital works the Gold Coast the way coverage is actually won away from the tourism beat: we start with the people who write your category, often from a Brisbane newsroom or a national trade title rather than a local lifestyle desk, learn what they are chasing this quarter, and only then bring them a story worth their column inches. See our national PR agency services, or pair earned media with brand strategy and brand activations.

Why Gold Coast Pitches Get Ignored.
The common Gold Coast PR mistake is pitching local lifestyle press with a story that belongs in trade or business media. A health technology launch or a construction milestone gets sent to outlets built for restaurant openings and event coverage, and unsurprisingly goes nowhere, reinforcing the idea that PR doesn't work here.
The second issue is being genuinely overlooked by category journalists because they don't associate the Gold Coast with your industry. A credible health, education or technology story from the Gold Coast has to work slightly harder to be taken as seriously as the same story from Brisbane or Sydney — which makes targeted pitching, not volume, the deciding factor.
The Cost of Generic Pitching.
Where Your Story
Finds Its Audience.

Relationships, Angles, Placements.
The programme starts with a target list built by category rather than postcode — Gold Coast desks, Brisbane business press and the national trade titles your buyers read. From there we shape angles around what those editors are commissioning, take them out one at a time, rehearse your spokespeople before the call, and put every placement to work on your site, socials and search footprint.
Gold Coast Category Mapping & Angles
We work out who covers your sector — locally, in Brisbane and nationally — then build a running list of angles those specific desks can publish, drawn from your own numbers, clients and operations rather than announcements.
Individual Pitching & Placement Value
Stories go out one journalist at a time, with spokespeople rehearsed and interviews managed. Afterwards each placement is quoted on your site, amplified socially and used to strengthen search authority.
Sector coverage that outlives the tourism shorthand attached to your postcode.
The 3-Pillar System.
Gold Coast Media Landscape Audit
Mapping starts with your category, not the local lifestyle round: which national mastheads, Brisbane business desks, trade titles and specialist newsletters your buyers actually read, plus a look at where competitors are already being quoted and where the gaps sit.
Angle Development & Pitching
Angles come out of the business itself — the numbers you already hold, the outcomes clients have had, the positions your specialists can defend — rather than tourism-adjacent announcements. Each one is matched to a single journalist and a live news moment, with your spokesperson prepped before it goes anywhere.
Placement Amplification
Nothing is left to sit as a link in a newsletter. Placements are quoted on your site, pushed through social and email, and referenced where they support search — so one credible mention keeps returning value in brand searches, referrals and confidence from corporate and clinical buyers.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
PR runs as a monthly retainer scoped to pitch volume and target list, not a per-placement fee. We'd rather run a focused programme aimed at the specific trade and business media that reach your actual buyers than a broad tourism-press list that doesn't convert.
Yes — it's one of the most common briefs we get from the region. The work is about deliberately targeting the trade, business and category press that covers health, technology, education or property, rather than the lifestyle outlets that default to a tourism angle regardless of your actual story.
First placements usually land within four to eight weeks, typically in trade or specialist press where the category fit is clearest. Broader business and national coverage tends to follow once there's a track record and an established spokesperson.
Yes — both sectors are genuinely newsworthy on the Gold Coast right now, and both suit PR well when the story is pitched to the right outlet. Health innovation and major property or construction projects are the kind of angles category journalists want, once they're pitched away from the tourism frame.
Yes. Alongside Gold Coast clients we work across South East Queensland, including businesses that also need coverage in Brisbane media to be credible in both markets.
No - most clients arrive without obvious news. The first phase of the work is developing story assets: data you already hold, customer outcomes, expert positions your team can credibly own. News is usually built, not found.
Yes. Journalists care about the strength of the story and the credibility of the source; geography matters far less than it used to. The work is in framing stories on sector merit so the dateline is incidental.
Because that is the frame national desks already hold for the city. Unless the pitch leads with something that stands on its own — proprietary data, a category shift, a genuinely national angle — the location will steer the story back to tourism and property. We build pitches where the Gold Coast is context rather than the headline.
They rule out most promotional publicity. The workable approach is explanatory and evidence-based commentary, with any patient-involved material consented and compliance-reviewed before it is offered to media. We agree the claim boundaries with your clinical lead before pitching begins.
It concentrates attention on the events themselves. Unless your story connects to what is happening, those weeks are usually the wrong time to launch — we schedule around the visitor and event calendar so business news lands when there is room for it.

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!
Odin Digital works as a PR agency in Gold Coast and across Queensland, covering media relations, newsworthy angle development, spokesperson preparation, pitch-to-placement management and amplification of coverage through content and SEO.

How PR and media relations connects to the rest of your Gold Coast marketing
Very few Gold Coast briefs stay inside one channel. PR and media relations tends to be the first move, and the work either side of it decides how far the numbers go. The same team also handles SEO in Gold Coast, Google Ads management in Gold Coast, web design in Gold Coast, Facebook and Instagram ads in Gold Coast, online marketing in Gold Coast, branding in Gold Coast, brand identity design in Gold Coast, graphic design in Gold Coast, event and brand activation in Gold Coast and rebranding in Gold Coast, 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.
If you operate beyond Gold Coast, our capital-city service pages cover the rest of the country, and the industry pages show how the approach shifts by vertical. If you would rather talk it through, book a strategy call and we will map the highest-leverage channel for your market.
