"Very useful service"
5/5
What do you like best about MediaHQ?

The Irish media contacts database, when updated is very useful. Being able to schedule press releases. Searching contacts.

Customer care is very good and responses are fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaHQ?

It is not user-friendly when I am accessing via my mobile phone.

I really dislike that I cannot copy the email addresses now. We already pay a huge cost for the service, the prevention of copy/paste makes it less user-friendly and does not make sense.

I purchased the European media contacts but find this very disappointing - it is a basic list of newsdesks which I could have via colleagues here.

The price is constantly increasing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pretty user friendly system with comprehensive database of media contacts"
4/5
What do you like best about MediaHQ?

The database of media contacts is extensive and updated every day, which gives me confidence that my pitches and press releases are reaching the right targets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaHQ?

Manually updating media lists is a little frustrating and it needs to be done daily to stay on top of changes, which isn't always possible depending on workload and other commitments. Would be great if updates to existing lists could process automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The ultimate PR tool!"
5/5
What do you like best about MediaHQ?

I have been using MediaHQ for almost ten years and it is a vital tool if you want to connect, communicate and create genuine connections with your media stakeholders.

Incredibly user-friendly platform. Information and contact details are constantly updated which allows us to target key contacts and deliver successful campaigns every time.

The platform is consistently evolving with some clever add-on tools which are constantly increasing the value we get for our service.

Our account manager (Rachel) is incredible - she's always on-hand to provide information on the new updates and is always immediately available in the rare event that I need support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaHQ?

Nothing. Once you start using MediaHQ, you will find it very difficult to go back to relying on spreadsheets and Outlook contact lists to keep your media book up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One-stop resource for key PR contacts"
4.5/5
What do you like best about MediaHQ?

MediaHQ has been an invaluable resource for our team. We've been able to compile PR lists quickly and easily and it gives us a single point for management of our press releases and versioning. The support team have been quick to respond whenever we've had a question. Overall, it has saved us many manhours of time compiling and managing lists and distributing press releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaHQ?

We haven't had any major issues. I would like to take more advantage of the AI features that have been introduced. Possibly a little light on some of the trade titles but the customer service team have been very responsive when I've suggested additions to the database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"We find Media HQ to be a very efficient tool to distribute press releases and liaise with media"
4/5
What do you like best about MediaHQ?

Having a readymade template for releases and being able to see what it will look like in inboxes is very helpful but having media lists to easily send material to is a game-changer in terms of time and efficiency. It is also great for getting accurate contact information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaHQ?

I find the search function limited sometimes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
