- prawn 11y agoIt's just content that exists at the prodding of a PR company on behalf of their client. Once you've worked with and around PR people, you start to recognise it in the wild even when it's subtle. It's not always a direct angle but could be things to build the brand of key personalities like "Running a business with small children" where the business owner is profiled, or "Staying healthy at the office" where the business owner talks about what they eat and drink. A significant portion of print (and now online) pieces would be as a result of professional PR efforts. (My wife works in PR and I used to share an office with another PR company.)
