For years, public relations in Africa has relied on emails, long proposals, and lengthy approval processes. But one Nigerian PR company is reimagining that system entirely.
Pressdia.com, a new digital PR marketplace created by Laerryblue Media, allows brands to pay, publish, and get their stories live across local and international media outlets in less than 24 hours.
The platform, which launched recently, positions itself as Africa’s first PR marketplace, combining automation with guaranteed results. Businesses can now access press release distribution services instantly – no quotes, no delays, no waiting for account managers to respond.
Simplifying how PR works in Africa
Pressdia was founded by Olanrewaju Alaka, CEO of Laerryblue Media, one of Africa’s leading PR and reputation management agencies. His team built the platform to solve a long-standing challenge in the industry: accessibility.
“Too many small businesses struggle to get media attention because the process is slow or confusing,” Alaka said. “We wanted to build something that gives every entrepreneur equal access to credible visibility, whether they’re in Lagos or London.”
On Pressdia, users can browse press release services by category, choose from pre-verified packages, pay securely, and get published across vetted national dailies, niche blogs, and international outlets. It’s a system designed to make press release distribution in Nigeria faster, transparent, and more affordable.
Automation meets credibility
Pressdia’s value lies in its automation. The platform eliminates the manual back-and-forth typical of traditional agencies, allowing users to process and monitor their press releases from one dashboard.
Each package includes guaranteed placements, verified media networks, and transparent pricing. Businesses can select the coverage that fits their goals—whether that’s a national newspaper feature, a digital publication, or an international headline—and track their visibility in real time.
Alaka describes it as an automated PR engine that delivers consistent media coverage services without the delays that come with human bottlenecks.
A marketplace that shares the rewards
Beyond automation, Pressdia introduces something new to the continent’s PR platform landscape: an affiliate payout model. This feature allows PR consultants, agencies, and partners to earn commissions on every successful publication they refer.
It’s a structure that benefits both sides, empowering professionals to earn passive income while expanding Pressdia’s reach to more industries and countries.
From Africa to the world
Pressdia’s growing network of outlets spans across Nigeria, Africa, and global platforms. In just a few months, the platform has facilitated hundreds of successful press release distributions for startups, SMEs, and enterprise clients in sectors such as technology, lifestyle, finance, and entertainment.
For African entrepreneurs, this model could change how they think about visibility. Instead of waiting weeks for coverage, they can now launch a campaign and see their brand live in top publications the very next day.
Pressdia.com is Africa’s first digital PR marketplace, developed by Laerryblue Media to make press distribution instant and accessible. The platform enables brands to choose from verified press release distribution packages, pay online, and publish within 24 hours.
With transparent pricing, guaranteed placements, and a built-in affiliate system, Pressdia is reshaping digital PR in Nigeria and connecting African businesses to global media exposure, one click at a time.
