The short answer
What PR services actually buy you
Advertising is space you rent. PR is credibility you earn — and it outlives the media plan.
PR services are the planned, ongoing work of shaping what people read, hear and say about your organisation: setting a communications strategy, writing and placing press releases, briefing journalists, putting your executives in front of TV cameras and podcast microphones, watching the conversation daily, and stepping in fast when it turns against you.
At Content Khana, that work is run by a bilingual team that has spent since 2015 inside Egypt’s newsrooms. We do not send blanket emails and hope. We know which editor covers fintech, which desk wants an Arabic exclusive, which programme books CEOs on 48 hours’ notice — and we write the story so it is worth their page.
PR vs. advertising, plainly
1.
You pay for advertising. Placement is guaranteed, the message is yours, and the audience knows it is a message.
2.
You earn PR. A journalist decides your story deserves the space. Nobody can guarantee that — which is exactly why readers believe it.
The strongest programmes use both. We build the earned side, and align it with the paid side you are already running.
What we do
Our public relations services
Take the whole programme, or take the one piece you are missing. Each service below runs as a standalone engagement or as part of a monthly retainer.
PR strategy & implementation
We start where the plan should start: your market position, your competitors’ share of voice and the perception gap between them. Out of it comes a messaging platform, an outlet map, a 12-month calendar and the KPIs we agree to be judged on.
Releases written natively in both languages, not translated at the last minute. We build the news angle, get the quotes approved, and distribute to the specific desks that cover your sector — then follow up until it runs.
The ongoing relationship work: keeping editors briefed, feeding desks the stories they actually want, handling requests, and protecting your spokespeople’s time. This is the layer that makes every other service land.
Small, high-signal sessions that put your leadership in a room with the journalists who matter. We choose the guest list, set the agenda, brief both sides and manage the follow-up coverage.
Exclusives placed with the right writer at the right title. We match the story to the outlet, prep your spokesperson on the likely questions, and stay in the room.
Bookings on Egypt’s most-watched programmes and stations — ON, CBC, dmc, TeN, Nile FM, Nogoum FM and more — with pre-interview coaching and a clean set of talking points.
Daily tracking across print, broadcast, online and social, reported monthly: what ran, where, in what tone, how it compares to your competitors, and what to change next.
Holding statements drafted before you need them, a defined escalation ladder, a rehearsed spokesperson and a team reachable outside office hours. We manage the narrative while you manage the incident.
Practical, on-camera sessions for executives and technical experts: message discipline, bridging, body language and the hostile questions rehearsed until they stop being hostile.
The words and design that carry the story between placements — magazines, newsletters, post-event reports, op-eds and thought-leadership series. Produced for UNIDO, Food Africa and the Arab Fertilizer Association, among others.
Coverage on the news portals, blogs and platforms your audience actually reads, plus influencer and community work that humanises the brand rather than renting an audience.
Accurate, credible communication with ministries, regulators and public foundations — and the ministerial presence at your launches, pavilions and openings that signals you are taken seriously.
A mock front page — but the mechanics behind it are real. We build the angle, write the release in Arabic and English, brief the desk that covers your sector, and follow up until it runs.
CK NEWS is Content Khana’s own demo masthead. Coverage in real outlets is earned, never bought or guaranteed.

Strategise
We set the messaging platform, the target outlets and the objectives we will be measured on.
03
Create
Releases, statements, op-eds, briefing notes and spokesperson prep — written in Arabic and English.
04
Place
We pitch the desks, book the interviews, run the round tables and manage government relations.
05
Measure
Monthly monitoring reports on coverage, tone, reach and share of voice — then we adjust.
