Enterprise brands need third-party credibility, the kind that moves rankings and earns the AI citations that make a category leader the obvious answer. At enterprise scale, a single product page competes against well-funded media, review sites, and every rival in the category, so brand awareness alone doesn’t cut it.
Digital PR is how enterprise brands earn that credibility at scale. Data-driven digital PR turns original research into stories that national and trade outlets want to publish, and the resulting high-authority links and brand mentions lift SEO rankings. The earned media drives qualified organic search traffic to pages that convert. That’s how an enterprise brand builds a durable online presence across the SERPs.
Below are digital PR case studies showing how Fractl has done that for enterprise clients across software, cybersecurity, financial services, insurance, and e-commerce, through digital PR, content marketing, and onsite SEO.
Why Digital PR Works for Enterprise Brands
Share
Authority is the moat. At enterprise scale, the question isn’t whether people have heard of you, it’s whether Google, AI engines, and journalists treat you as a primary source. High-authority links and brand mentions from the WSJ, CNBC, or Forbes are signals the search algorithm rewards, and signals that paid placements and PPC can’t replicate.
Earned coverage compounds across search and AI. Prospects and analysts research in a search engine first, and increasingly inside AI tools. The same data study that earns links also earns the rankings and the citations that put an enterprise brand in front of in-market buyers.
One newsworthy asset scales further than any ad. A single piece of original research can earn hundreds of placements, syndicate across regional and trade press, and keep accruing backlinks for years, while an enterprise paid-media budget stops working the moment you stop spending.

Case Study: Adobe Express
The Challenge
Adobe Express competes in a crowded creative-software market against fast-growing rivals, and it needed to win organic visibility and authority for the mid- and bottom-funnel searches its target users run, the solopreneurs, students, and small-business owners deciding which design tool to use.
The Strategy
Fractl built a high-velocity data journalism engine paired with onsite SEO content. We ran original surveys and studies on the topics Adobe Express’s audience cares about, how people use TikTok and AI tools, small-business design habits, and content trends, then pitched them to high-authority national and trade press. Strict brand-safety guardrails kept every campaign on-brand and away from controversy.
The Results
- 751 total earned links from publishers with a DA above 40, including 196 from publishers with a DA above 70
- Brand mentions on 134 different sites with a domain authority above 70
- 100+ page-one keyword rankings and 38 keywords ranking in featured snippets or AI Overviews
- A 70% pitch-open rate, well above the digital PR norm (around 45%)
The flagship campaign, “Using TikTok as a Search Engine,” earned 1,370+ stories and 130+ DA 70+ links on its own. Coverage landed in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, CNBC, Forbes, Bloomberg, Business Insider, USA Today, Fast Company, and Fortune.
Case Study: McAfee
The Challenge
McAfee, a global leader in cybersecurity, wanted to grow organic traffic and strengthen its authority by owning the search results for the questions its potential customers ask, from identity theft to phishing to malware removal.
The Strategy
Fractl researched cybersecurity search trends to find the topics McAfee’s audience cared about most, then built thoroughly researched, authoritative content that answered those questions better than anything else ranking, positioning McAfee as the trusted source.
The Results
- $1.3M added to organic traffic value in just four months
- A 12.4% increase in monthly organic traffic, with 58,236 monthly visitors to Fractl-produced content
- 586 high-value featured snippets captured
- 32 pages ranking in Position 1 on the SERPs
That combination of high-quality content and search visibility turned McAfee’s resource library into a durable organic-traffic engine in a single quarter.
Case Study: A Fortune 500 Life Insurance and Retirement Brand
The Challenge
This financial services brand competes for high-stakes, high-intent searches against banks, fintechs, and media publishers. It wanted to build domain authority and earn the high-authority coverage that lifts rankings across life insurance, retirement, and wealth-building topics.
The Strategy
Fractl ran data journalism on the money questions its audience actually debates, including a survey on the financial conversations couples have before marriage, and pitched the findings to national finance and business press. A pillar-and-cluster content layer captured the rankings the coverage helped earn.
The Results
- Domain rating climbed to 68, with roughly 2,400 new referring domains
- 71 links from publishers with a domain authority above 70, and brand mentions on 46 different DA 70+ sites
- 550 new keyword rankings and about 27,400 additional monthly organic visits, worth an estimated $112,000 in added traffic value
- Coverage estimated at 14 million views
The standout campaign on the money conversations couples have before marriage was the program’s top link earner. Coverage included CNBC, Fortune, MSN, Nasdaq, The Motley Fool, MarketWatch, and Business Insider, plus a sweep of more than 10 NBC regional affiliates.
Case Study: A National Auto Insurance Brand
The Challenge
This auto insurer needed authoritative links and coverage to build search visibility and credibility in a category dominated by a handful of household names with massive ad budgets.
The Strategy
Fractl built data studies on driving safety and behavior (the kind of original research auto and lifestyle journalists can’t get anywhere else) and ran targeted outreach to earn exclusives and syndicated pickup.
The Results
- Two data studies earned 63 total links and brand mentions across 13 placements
- High-authority exclusives plus national pickup on MSN (DA 95), Reddit, AZ Central, and IndyStar
- A USA Today-network syndication that carried the research across regional newsrooms
This is how just two well-built studies can earn an enterprise brand authoritative coverage you can’t buy.
Case Study: A Home-Goods E-commerce Retailer
The Challenge
This e-commerce retailer wanted earned coverage and social reach that would build brand awareness and links in the competitive home, design, and lifestyle space.
The Strategy
Fractl ran a series of data journalism campaigns on home, relationships, and design, including studies on dating dealbreakers in the home and how couples build a life together, engineered for both link acquisition and social sharing.
The Results
- A multi-campaign program earned 281 links and brand mentions
- 9,717 social media shares across the campaigns, amplifying reach well beyond the original placements
- Coverage on The Sun, Realtor.com, Glamour, Esquire, and Architectural Digest
The standout study on dating dealbreakers earned 193 links and mentions and roughly 1,900 social shares on its own, proving how a relatable, shareable angle drives both authority and referral traffic for an e-commerce brand.
Campaign Formats That Work for Enterprise Brands
A few campaign types earned coverage again and again across this work. They’re the formats we’d reach for first at enterprise scale:
 Original consumer and workplace surveys Like the “money conversations before marriage” survey that became a financial brand’s top link earner, and Adobe Express’s small-business and content-trend studies |  “Platform as a search engine” behavior studies Adobe Express’s TikTok-as-a-search-engine study earned 1,370+ stories, with Pinterest, ChatGPT, and Reddit follow-ups. |
 Newsjacking and reactive PR on tech and AI trends Studies on how people use AI tools and short-form video, timed to the conversations journalists are already chasing |  Onsite pillar and cluster SEO content McAfee’s cybersecurity library captured 586 featured snippets and 32 Position-1 pages. |
 Relatable consumer data studies built to share Driving-safety studies for an auto insurer and “dating dealbreakers” for an e-commerce retailer earned high-authority links and thousands of social shares from a single relatable angle | |
What Enterprise Brands Can Learn From These Results
Keep these findings in mind:
- Original data is the unfair advantage. Every result above came from research, surveys, and studies that gave journalists something exclusive. One Adobe Express study earned 1,370+ stories. Boilerplate announcements can’t do that.
- Authority beats volume. A handful of DA 70+ placements move rankings more than hundreds of low-quality links. The enterprise programs here were measured on crème de la crème links and brand mentions, not raw link counts.
- Digital PR and SEO compound. High-authority links and brand mentions lift domain authority, domain authority lifts keyword rankings, and stronger organic search visibility sends traffic to the landing pages that convert. The best enterprise SEO strategy pairs link building and earned media with technical SEO, on-page optimization, and keyword research, so your SEO efforts turn into rankings, conversions, and measurable SEO success. That’s how McAfee turned a content library into $1.3M in added traffic value.
- AI visibility is the next competitive advantage. Adobe Express already ranks for 38 featured-snippet and AI-Overview keywords. The enterprise brands earning consistent, high-authority coverage now are the ones AI engines are learning to cite, and that lead compounds. It’s why AI visibility belongs in every enterprise SEO and organic growth plan.

Enterprise Digital PR FAQs
Enterprise teams considering digital PR usually ask the same handful of questions, so here are the answers.
Does digital PR work for enterprise brands?
Yes, and the case studies above show it. Original research turns into coverage that builds authority and drives organic traffic at scale; the way one Adobe Express study earned 1,370+ stories and McAfee’s program added $1.3M in traffic value in four months. The bigger the brand, the more a high-authority placement compounds across search and AI.
How is enterprise digital PR different from traditional PR?
Traditional PR chases coverage and press releases. Enterprise digital PR builds newsworthy, data-driven assets designed to earn high-quality backlinks and brand mentions that improve search engine rankings, win featured snippets, and earn AI citations. A strong digital PR strategy is measured on links, keyword rankings, organic search visibility, traffic value, and the conversion rates those landing pages drive, not just impressions.
What digital PR campaigns work best for enterprise companies?
Original surveys and data studies, “platform as a search engine” behavior research, reactive newsjacking on tech and AI trends, and onsite pillar and cluster content that captures the rankings the coverage helps earn. The strongest enterprise programs pair newsworthy research with the SEO content that turns earned authority into organic traffic.
