📰What is Journalist Pitch?

🔧 How It Works

1. Enter a News Hook

Start by entering a headline-style sentence that captures your story’s angle.
Example:

“Why Remote Work Is the Future of the Housing Market.”

PodPitch uses this keyword-rich news hook to match you with journalists currently covering related topics.

2. Smart Matching & Filtering

The system automatically finds journalists based on your preferences, filtering by:

• Outlet type: TV, Online, Print, etc.
• Country or city
• Website traffic or reach
• Language

3. AI-Written PR Emails

PodPitch’s AI creates your emails in your chosen tone or format, such as:

• ✉️ Traditional PR
• ⚡ Gen Z Short
• 🧠 Axios Smart Brevity

Each message is personalized to the journalist’s beat and publication.

4. Pitch Butler Sends the Emails

Your Pitch Butler sends up to 3 emails per journalist (1 initial + 2 follow-ups), spaced 4 business days apart.
If there’s no reply, it automatically moves on to the next relevant contact at that outlet.

5. Replies Go Straight to You

When a journalist replies, you’ll see their message:

• In your email inbox
• Inside PodPitch → Replies tab

This keeps all your PR communication organized in one place.

💡 Why It’s Powerful

• ⏱️ Saves 2+ months of manual journalist outreach
• 📈 Gets 1–3 warm journalist replies per month (on average)
• 🧩 Keeps your brand top-of-mind in the media — without manual follow-ups

🗣️ Tip

Use Journalist Pitch after a product launch or major announcement — it’s one of the fastest ways to get earned media coverage without hiring an external PR firm.
