Digital PR is how sportsbooks get real coverage during football season. In this episode of The Squared Table, Victor and Oliver Dawnay break down a simple playbook: how to use retired player interviews and data-led predictions editors actually run, how to plan a month toward the Champions League, and what to do before, during, and after a big match. They talk costs (big names vs niche names), how to source talent through agencies, and the compliance traps to avoid (minors, risky spokespeople, claims). You’ll hear how teams measure success now (unique follow links, referral lift, brand search) and why “viral” only helps if it lands on new domains.
