Easy UX Design

We've spent many hours and days making our platform interface easy to use and find exactly who you're looking for amongst the thousands of connections we hold. This means you only need to spend minutes doing your search.

Lists to manage your contacts

Lists are highly flexible and easy to manage. You can add notes to contacts for tracking outreach.

Lists can be categorised into groups for campaigns, cloned for reuse, and edited to update names or descriptions.

To stay current, use the Advisor tool to update contacts or view profile changes like job titles or email updates.

These tools ensure lists remain accurate, organised, and campaign-ready, saving you time while strengthening your media engagement.

 

Journalists and Media outlets

The journalists and media outlets on our platform are locally curated, and regularly updated.

Each profile includes detailed information such as beats, interests, and contact details, helping you personalise outreach and pitch with precision. You can also view recent career moves, updated roles, and editorial changes to stay ahead.

With this depth of insight, you’ll always connect with the right journalist at the right time, building stronger relationships and delivering more impactful media engagement.
