"Impressive Journalist Database and Efficient Release Delivery"
5/5
What do you like best about MediaHQ?

The large journalist database is impressive and the system ensures that the releases get through efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside is the high cost, especially for organisations that only use the system on a limited basis and for part of the year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Impressive, Always-Up-to-Date Media Database and Contacts"
4/5
What do you like best about MediaHQ?

The media database is constantly kept up to date, and the depth of contacts is impressive. I also like the feed on the dashboard keeping users up to date on ongoing events. The platform is very intuitive and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaHQ?

I'd like to be able to add individual contacts to the recipients of a release, not just my lists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Invaluable Service- A PR Practitioners Best Assistant"
5/5
What do you like best about MediaHQ?

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.

What do you dislike about MediaHQ?

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

"All Media Contacts in One Place, with Helpful Open-Rate Insights"
3.5/5
What do you like best about MediaHQ?

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.

What do you dislike about MediaHQ?

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

"A great tool for reaching the right journalists"
5/5
What do you like best about MediaHQ?

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.

What do you dislike about MediaHQ?

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.

"Stress-Free Media Outreach with Regularly Updated Lists"
5/5
What do you like best about MediaHQ?

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.

What do you dislike about MediaHQ?

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.

"Effortless Media Control with an Extensive Contact Base"
5/5
What do you like best about MediaHQ?

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.

What do you dislike about MediaHQ?

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.
