MediaHQ Reviews & Product Details

I love being able to refine my pitching and press release lists as I can search people by topic. Seeing who is interested in what allows me to form very specific press lists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being unable to create a press book is a shame. As well as tracking a release, it would be brilliant to be able to form a press book that would be available to download as a PDF once complete for records. I also do not like the AI usage and I would rather the AI ninja be off with the option to turn it on instead of it being on and having to be the one to turn it off as sometimes titles are generated before I've finished writing the copy and I do not want a title generated for me. If I have ended up using a title as it was similar to what I would have written anyway, I get the email about sharing my thoughts on the AI tools. I'd rather it not be assumed that I'll use the tools and so I'd prefer to turn on Ninja myself instead of it being on when I open a blank release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am fairly new to Media HQ, but so far I have found it so easy to use. Sending out press releases with little experience has been smooth. Also, having lists of journalists is very helpful for the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing so far, I have had a smooth experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it's really user-friendly in the sense that when I search a publication I can find the journalists themselves or something similar. I also love how easy it makes designing bespoke lists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes when pasting a press release drafted elsewhere, it imports added code which requires tidying up. I normally click 'keep' in order to retain hyperlinks added, but this adds to the workload. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The media lists available to select for sending to press. I have been trialling the AI headlines but haven't used them enough to rely on them within the editing. By using MediaHQ, we are able to control and own our media relations more than ever before. Everything can be done in house as we have the contacts and mechanisms for distributing press releases.

Not being able to see analytics of pitch results or an easy way to respond within the pitch to follow up with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides up-to-date contacts for all media outlets print, broadcast and online, ensuring that my press releases are reaching the right journalists and opportunities wont be missed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is very little I dislike bout MediaHQ. One thing - because the media landscape in Ireland is fast moving with lots of constant change and movement of people, sometimes a contact might be late getting updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Where do I even start! MediaHQ is so easy to use; their press release creator works perfectly and makes the whole process so smooth. The database is frequently updated, which saves so much time and takes away the worry of emails bouncing back. Contacts are tagged, which allows you to reach journalists most likely interested in the topic you're communicating. I just love this platform so much; it saved us a tremendous amount of money by moving PR in-house. I'd recommend it to any communications & PR professionals! Also, just to add - their team is extremely helpful and wants you to succeed, which only adds to the excellence of this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing that popped up so far - the whole process is very smooth, and works perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is the Media Lists and how easy it is to work on and manage releases. The platform makes the overall PR workflow feel straightforward and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I’d say is that there could be a little more flexibility around customising media lists, particularly when targeting specific outlets like radio channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use of the platform, for managing press lists, campaigns and press release distribution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No cons. The only thing I’d mention is that I feel like I miss updates on the dashboard. It would be great if updates could be filtered, or if I could receive notifications related to my area of interest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's absolutely fantastic that you can see so many curated media lists Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That you can only include 300 people in an email Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support team are amazing and very quick to come back when I have questions or queries. I enjoy using the list manager too and I like that duplicates are always filtered out when sending releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the searchability on the dashboard quite glitchy sometimes- sometimes it's quite easy to find media contacts and other times, less so. Very inconsistent. I also dislike how glitchy the formatting on press releases can be when drafting - fonts, spacing, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
