Why Motive is Different

We help brands rank online through digital PR, SEO and content marketing.

Based in Nottingham, UK, we were named European Content Marketing Agency of the Year for 2023.

Our team are all trained and experienced journalists who create content for clients that the media can cut, paste and publish without editing. This means all our outputs result in media placements. Making our success rate so much higher than industry averages.

Our digital PR focus and e-commerce specialism means we help all our clients to rank in organic search, helping them grow both visibility and credibility.

Founded in 2008 by former senior national news journalist Steve McComish, we put news values and journalistic skill at the centre of everything we do. Because our standards are high so are our results in terms of media placements and high authority links earned for our clients.

We plan and measure all our activities. Each client is issued with a MAP – or Motive Action Plan which clearly states all agreed objectives, strategy and tactics along with KPIs. This ensures our PR campaigns are aligned with your wider business goals and makes it easy for you to see ROI. You also get monthly reports detailing all activity along with every item of media coverage earned and all links won, along with analysis on the quality of those links.

Our work has been widely recognised, bringing in Agency of the Year awards and campaign awards from the likes of the CIPR, PRCA, UK Content Awards and European Content Awards. Work with Motive and your leave your competitors green with PR envy.
