How Can Umlingo Help?

Public Relations

Press Coverage
We have a great track record of gaining media coverage both in the UK print media and online for a diverse range of high-end hotels and lodges, a luxury train and a regional tourist board. We have longstanding relationships with numerous travel writers and editors in the UK and beyond. All your on;line media coverage is available to view at any time, with metrics showing the reach, engagement and number of coverage views.
For an example, view Onguma’s report here.

Pitch-Perfect

We subscribe to a number of journalist alert services including TravMedia, and have our finger on the pulse of the travel media. We will pitch your stories, angles, news and offers to the relevant trade and consumer media as well as develop relevant luxury brand partnerships.

Press trips - hosted group trips and individual journalists

We have arranged and hosted numerous multi-centre group press trips to Africa - and arranged many more individual press trips for freelance journalists with guaranteed commissions and great results.

We have strong relationships with the relevant airlines, tour operators, other PR companies and tourist boards to pull together all the elements for a successful press trip including on point accommodation, bucket list experiences that tell a story as well as the required flights and ground handling to make it work - even on a tight budget!

Experience, creativity, passion and adaptability will be key to remaining relevant and flourishing in the “new normal”. The worldwide pandemic has indeed challenged all of us to travel more responsibly, to work smarter - and to think outside of the box. Your PR strategy will need to take all these things into account to achieve results in terms of market share, positive coverage and ultimately what we all strive for - “bums in beds”!

We would love to handle your ongoing day-to-day PR needs - or assist you on a project basis.

Media Outreach

Let us write your press releases for you and send them to the right journalists, at the right publications, in the right way - at the right time. Mass mailshots of old-style “ spray and pray” press releases in today’s busy world of jammed inboxes is a sure way to “hear nothing but crickets”! It’s all about the relationships behind the pitches.

Media Events

We can arrange an intimate gathering of the right people for your launch or networking event as part of a larger campaign.
