"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.

"Positive Experience Overall"
5/5
What do you like best about MediaHQ?

Media HQ's database is a really helpful feature and it has made my job easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaHQ?

For stations such as RTE and Newstalk, it would be helpful if it stated what programme each journalist/ producer works on in their title when you're searching for them - for example John Burke, Editor, RTE Radio 1, Morning Ireland. Also, the editorial deadlines for weekly and daily newspapers would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best PR Platform for Ireland & UK"
5/5
What do you like best about MediaHQ?

The quality of the media contacts is second to none - I've used a lot of press release platforms in my time and this one is by-far the best.

Customer support has always been good to me

It's just so simple and easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaHQ?

It does not have any media contacts outside of the United Kingdom and Ireland... Fine for me, but it might be an issue for very large or multinational PR teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
