How PressPitch Works
PressPitch.io facilitates communication between journalists and experts/sources. Experts/sources are responsible for providing accurate and authentic information.
There are two sections in the app:
1) Questions: In this section, questions are posted in the app and you can respond to them within the dashboard. The communication through this section stays in the platform and you can track your submissions in the sent folder. You are allowed to create multiple signatures to represent different clients or profiles.
2) Exclusive: This section contains a curated list of journo requests from different social media platforms, like X, and Linkedin as well as direct submissions by the journalist on our platform by using Journo Request Form. It’s a convenient way for journalists who want to receive responses directly to their inboxes without signing up for PressPitch.
Once you decide to respond to a query, either by responding through Questions or clicking on the Respond Button to view email ID, one answer credit will be consumed.
It prevents spam, irrelevant or mass pitches to journalists and allows our users to optimize their cost against pitches, resulting in only high-quality responses reaching journalists.
Users must adhere to ethical standards and avoid spammy or inappropriate behavior.
