Press & Media Outreach

Get Covered by People Who Actually Cover You

Launches, funding rounds, research and expert commentary placed with the journalists who write about your sector, through relationships rather than media databases.

  • Named reporter targeting
  • Sector-specific desks
  • Reactive commentary
  • Spokesperson support
The Reality

Media Databases Do Not Get You Covered

A press release blasted to a purchased list is deleted unread. Journalists get hundreds of those a week and almost none of them are relevant to what that particular reporter writes about.

What works is knowing who covers your sector, what they have written recently, and why your story matters to their readers specifically. That is slower, and it is the only thing that produces coverage.

  • Reporters identified by what they have actually written
  • Pitches written for one publication at a time
  • Timing matched to the news cycle
  • Spokesperson prepared before the pitch goes out

What We Handle

The Full Press Operation

From the announcement itself to the follow-up interview.

Press Materials

Announcements written to be usable by a journalist, not to satisfy an internal approval chain.

  • Reporter Targeting

    Journalists identified by recent coverage, then pitched individually with a reason it matters to them.

  • Reactive Commentary

    Fast expert reaction placed when a story breaks in your sector and reporters need a source.

  • Launch Support

    Coordinated outreach around product launches, funding rounds and company milestones.

  • Spokesperson Prep

    Lines, likely questions and background prepared so your spokesperson is ready before the call.

  • Coverage Tracking

    Every placement, mention and syndication logged and reported with its metrics.

FAQ

Press & Media Outreach questions

Something not covered here? Ask us directly and a strategist will reply within one working day.

Yes, and we write it for journalists rather than for internal sign-off. Releases written to satisfy a committee are the ones that get deleted.
Something new, something with data behind it, or something that connects to a story already running. A product update with no wider angle usually is not, and we will say so before spending your budget.
Within 48 hours when the news cycle is live, faster if your spokesperson is available and pre-briefed. Speed is most of the value in reactive work.
No. Anyone guaranteeing editorial coverage is either buying it or misleading you. We commit to the targeting, the materials and honest reporting on what landed.
Yes. We coordinate scheduling, brief your spokesperson on likely questions, and handle follow-ups from the reporter.
Often. We usually take the outreach and targeting while your team keeps ownership of messaging and approvals.
