"Media HQ has helped us build relationships with journalists"
5/5
What do you like best about MediaHQ?

The Media HQ database is well maintained compared to some other platforms we have used. The insights have been invaluable, knowing who has opened and clicked links in our emails has allowed us to make follow-up calls with the right journalists. During COP26, having Media HQ allowed us to alert journalists to our upcoming actions which lead to national media coverage in outlets such as the Guardian and Sun. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaHQ?

We would love to be able to send larger batches of emails as sometimes we want to be able to email more than 300 at a time. We'd also like to be able to download media lists to excel, so that we can record our interactions and use the data with more flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaHQ?

Loading can take a while, but it is understandable when there are so many contacts to choose from, so this would be a natural occurrence on any website loading results Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent media distribution software"
5/5
What do you like best about MediaHQ?

The database feature is really so much helpful that has made my job easier. It has lots of benefits. Simple & easy to use.

I found the media industry with regular media updates on news and job changes. The best seamless press release platform I used till date! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaHQ?

Surely there are something that are missing. The media contacts have limitations. Wouldn't it be better if the existing contact list could be easily added to a new list? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Media HQ"
5/5
What do you like best about MediaHQ?

I have always worked as an Account Executive and in my former job, we did not use Media HQ. As a result, most of my work involved doing what Media HQ does. Media HQ has added time efficiency to my role, and enabled me to get as much experience as possible in network building, writing and issuing press releases and building journalistic contacts - as opposed to the admin tasks which I would have done before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaHQ?

I find sometimes looking up journalists can be slow - or sometimes they automatically go under an 'exact' category and it takes me a while to find the journalists I am looking for. I would love to see a function where you can click a media house and see and search journalists under those media - for example, if I clicked RTE Digital and I wanted to find sustainability journalists, I could do this at the click of a filter - this is sometimes hard to do and I find irrelevant journalists in the existing search.
