Your goals

What you need from a press release

Every founder, marketer, and comms lead shares the same core objectives.

Get media coverage

You need journalists to write about your company. Not vanity placements — real articles in publications your customers read.

📣

Announce news professionally

Product launch, funding round, partnership — you need a polished, AP-style release that makes your news credible.

🏆

Build credibility & trust

A well-written release signals legitimacy. Investors, partners, and customers Google you — what do they find?

📈

Reach the right journalists

Not a spray-and-pray blast. Your release should land in front of reporters who cover your exact beat and sector.

The problem

Why press releases are so painful

Pain 01

DIY writing sounds robotic

You spend hours writing a release that reads like a corporate Mad Lib. No journalist wants to touch it.

Pain 02

Wire services are expensive and useless

You pay $400+ to blast your release to thousands of junk sites. Zero real journalists see it. Zero coverage.

Pain 03

No feedback before you publish

You hit "send" and pray. No one tells you the headline is weak, the lede buries the news, or the quote sounds fake.

Pain 04

No idea if anyone reads it

After publishing, silence. Did a journalist see it? You will never know. It is a black hole.

Pain 05

Agencies cost thousands per month

A real PR agency costs $3,000–$10,000/mo. For an early-stage company, that is not an option.

What you want

What would delight you?

Gain 01

Journalists actually read it

Your release lands in a journalist’s inbox — someone who covers your exact industry — and they find it worth opening.

Gain 02

Professional quality, accessible cost

AP-style prose, tight headlines, real structure — without hiring an agency or spending weeks learning press release conventions.

Gain 03

Expert feedback before publishing

Imagine 16 different journalist perspectives telling you what works and what doesn’t — before you go live. Every time.

Gain 04

Know exactly who is reading

Real-time analytics. See when a journalist opens your release, how long they read, and whether they clicked through.

Step 3 of 4 — The Secret Weapon

16 journalist personas review your release

Before you publish, your release goes through a panel of 16 simulated journalist reviewers — each with a unique beat, publication style, and set of standards. They catch what you would miss.

What the panel catches

Each persona scores the release PASS or REVISE and leaves specific, actionable feedback. Then the panel synthesizes a final recommendation.

MR
Maya Reeves
Tech / Startups
PASS

“Strong lede. The funding amount is front-loaded, which is good. I’d cut the CEO quote by half — it reads like marketing copy, not a real person talking.”

JT
James Torres
Finance / FinTech
REVISE

“Missing key financial context. What’s the total raised to date? What’s the valuation? Without those, this feels like it’s hiding something.”

LC
Lisa Chen
Consumer Tech
PASS

“Clean structure. The ‘three new markets’ angle is compelling but needs specifics — which markets? Name them.”

Panel Synthesis
13
Pass
3
Revise

Recommendation: Publish with minor revisions. Add total funding history, name the three expansion markets, and trim the CEO quote to two sentences.

The difference

Releases that go through the panel have a 2.4x higher pickup rate than those published without review.
