The customisation when mass pitching and ease of use in updating fields > > **Cons**: Can be clunky when editing text in the box, errors and words jump around. When creating lists, you can mass add to lists, you need to go page by page, which if you forget to save, can take time > > Overall, it's been a game changer for media distribution and understanding the ever changing landscape of Ireland's media. I've had it a year and it's my favourite tool. ----- ### "Great Tool for Reaching the Right Journalists" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 September 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like best about MediaHQ is how easy it makes the whole press release process. The journalist database is always up to date, so I don’t waste time worrying if I’m contacting the right people. Building lists is quick, and sending to multiple audiences couldn’t be simpler. I also find the velocity grading really useful. Being able to see open rates right away gives me a clear picture of what’s working and helps me judge the impact of each release. Overall, it’s reliable, time-saving and takes a lot of the stress out of PR. > > **Cons**: There’s very little I dislike. If I could add one feature, it would be a conversion score showing which outlets actually picked up and published a release. The velocity grading already helps with open rates, but knowing exactly where stories land would make the platform even stronger. > > My overall experience with MediaHQ has been really positive. The platform is easy to use, reliable and makes a big difference in how I manage press releases day to day. Having access to an up-to-date journalist database saves so much time, and the tools for building lists and sending to multiple audiences are straightforward and efficient. I also appreciate the insights, like velocity grading, which give me instant feedback on performance. On top of that, the customer support has been excellent — quick to respond and genuinely helpful when I’ve had questions, like figuring out the best times to send releases. Since using their advice, I’ve seen more of my stories picked up and published, which is the result that matters most. Altogether, MediaHQ combines strong features with great support, and it’s become an invaluable part of my communications work. ----- ### "Media HQ Review" — 4.0/5 > **Gráinne** | *22 September 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how easy it is to find contact details and disseminate press releases; the process is seamless. It's also a very user friendly software, it's almost foolproof. > > **Cons**: I would love to be able to send to more than 300 contacts in one go, and I wish there was an auto update feature for lists, where someone leaves a position, that the person who takes over the role would autopopulate into your list. This possibly exists and I just need to look harder. I'd also love a pop-up when you use a template but don't change the title, reminding you to change it. I've sent one too many with "macra template" left on them. > > I really can't find much fault with it, and all my cons are really just me being lazy or forgetful, so I can't blame the software for that. ----- ### "MediaHQ: A User-Friendly, Time-Saving PR Platform with a Highly Supportive Team" — 5.0/5 > **Sara** | *19 February 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: MediaHQ is honestly the answer to all my PR prayers\! It's very easy to use, and the setup and onboarding process are incredibly smooth. The platform allows you to create lists of contacts that are regularly updated and tagged, so you can easily reach out to journalists who cover topics related to your field. This is a massive time-saver, especially for smaller teams, as maintaining internal media databases requires a significant amount of work. In addition, their press release creator is very easy to use, helping you format and send releases to the media efficiently. Also, their team is exceptional, and they really care about their \& your work, and want you to succeed. > > **Cons**: Nothing major has come up so far. I’ve just run into a couple of small technical issues with hyperlinking text in the press release editor, but it might simply be me getting used to the tool. :) > > MediaHQ is a fantastic tool; it saves you money, time and stress, and is a reliable platform in terms of customer support and GDPR compliance. ----- ### "MediaHQ for all your PR needs" — 4.0/5 > **Teresa** | *9 March 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: A simple system to use, information at your fingertips, all your media contacts in one place, curated contact lists, and instant results of your releases. > > **Cons**: No cons to report. Media HQ is always working on ways to improve the user's experience, so the system is not a static programme. > > Great product to reach all your media contacts \& communicate your message.
