MediaHQ Reviews & Product Details

I like everything about the platform particularly the list hub feature and how easy it makes managing your media contacts and the different lists you can have access to. The way the platform manages GDPR compliance is so handy and means we don't have to worry about it as an organisation. We use the platform regularly and it would require a whole other persons job if we had to manage internal lists ourselves. It streamlines the way we issue press releases and makes mine and my teams jobs easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There aren't any downsides to the platform that I can think of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good database, can reach people fast and accurately, elpful tips before sending out, good data analysed to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Copy and paste feature sometimes jumps, needs more data based on Irish language organisations/music/groups/etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All of my media contacts are in one place, and the insights into how many people opened my press release give me a strong sense of how it’s likely to perform. The team is great and very knowledgeable about the product, and the onboarding process was seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Getting used to the email formatting took a bit of a learning curve for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how reliable it feels. The journalist database is always up to date, which takes the guesswork out of who to contact. Building lists is quick and simple, and once those are ready, sending multiple press releases is smooth and efficient. I also really value the velocity grading — being able to see open rates at a glance gives a clear sense of how well each release is landing. Whenever I have had questions, their customer service has been prompt and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very little, to be honest. The one thing I’d love is a conversion score — something that shows which outlets have actually picked up and published the release. That extra layer would make an already great platform even stronger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy and intuitive to use, and the database is very comprehensive for the audience we need to reach Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the cursor will remain in the same place after moving it and typing - it's just a small technical issue that can sometimes result in typos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The media lists remove the stress of having to find journalists and media contacts yourself. It's a real advantage that they are updated regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the News Feed section offered a more interactive and user-friendly experience. It would also be helpful if it featured releases that have performed well, along with case studies or insights related to those successes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Control over own media releases. Significant contact base. Very easy to use. Support team are amazing and very patient. Pre-emptive sessions to keep me up to date with my account and updates to my account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Personally speaking - AI inclusion. Also I don't use it enough and need to get refreshers a bit. If I did the cost would be more worth it as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer service, variety of lists, ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven’t encountered any negative aspects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Media HQ is great to create lists on what kind of target media I want for my Press Releases. It's great that I can find all my drafted/saved/published PR and see what kind of journalists I want to target with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe that should be a feature on suggested new media journalists for my PR without manually being me to search for them and add into my own created lists. Thinking if a new journalist/newspaper is new on the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that the contacts are updated. I like the headline prompts and that I can send a press release out to hundreds of media contacts in minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that sometimes the recipients are duplicated in different lists and get my press releases sometimes multiple times Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
