FAQ

Questions we get asked.

Why is journalist research important for PR?

Journalists receive hundreds of pitches daily. The ones that get read are relevant, personalised, and timed right. Research tells you exactly what each journalist covers, how they prefer to be contacted, and what stories they're likely to pick up.

What information do you track about each journalist?

We track beat, publication, recent articles, preferred sources, pitching style, response history, social presence, and any personalisation hooks that will make our pitches stand out.

How often is the journalist database updated?

Journalist moves, beat changes, and new hires happen constantly. We monitor these changes in real-time and refresh our database weekly to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
