Lovett: Care Worth Talking About

More Than a Quiet Life

Lovett provides care across 28 homes in England and Wales, with a mission to create communities where people can live well, feel supported and continue to thrive.

As part of its wider digital strategy, Lovett wanted to strengthen its organic search performance, increasing visibility in traditional search while also building the kind of authority that matters as search evolves into AI Overviews and other emerging discovery platforms.

Dark Horse’s Digital PR team developed a strategy around data-led stories that were genuinely relevant to Lovett and its audience.

Every campaign idea had to pass three tests:

  • Is it relevant to the brand?
  • Is the data strong enough to support it?
  • Will journalists actually care?

The result was a pipeline of campaigns designed to earn authoritative coverage while supporting Lovett’s wider organic visibility.

Going Places

The first campaign, UK’s Best Accessible Walks, analysed popular walking routes across the UK to identify those most suitable for wheelchair users and people living with limited mobility.

The campaign combined useful information with a subject closely aligned to Lovett’s audience and secured 40 pieces of media coverage with an average Domain Rating of 68

Coverage appeared across publications including the Manchester Evening News, Bristol Post, Newcastle Chronicle and Nottingham Post.

Building on that success, Dark Horse developed the Twilight Years Index.

The campaign analysed 37 different measures affecting quality of life in later years to identify the best places in England to grow older.

This generated 35 further media placements with an average Domain Rating of 71

Coverage included the BBC, Liverpool Echo and London Standard.

Enabled by relevant stories, robust research and writing content journalists actually wanted to publish.

The Long Game Pays Off

Across the two campaigns, Dark Horse secured:

  • 75 pieces of media coverage
  • 40 placements from UK’s Best Accessible Walks.
  • 35 placements from the Twilight Years Index.
  • Average Domain Ratings of 68 and 71 respectively.

And coverage across some of the UK’s most recognisable national and regional media outlets.

More importantly, the strategy gave Lovett a repeatable approach to Digital PR.

By combining strong data with subjects relevant to later life, accessibility and care, Dark Horse created a consistent pipeline of stories capable of earning authoritative media coverage and strengthening Lovett’s presence across an increasingly competitive search landscape.
