Distributing and tracking promotional material across the Bay Area has never been easier.

Instead of wondering whether anyone saw your news or depending on unreliable email rates to assess your reach, you can get better insights and feedback. You'll skip the guesswork and know whether your message landed with the right people at TV, radio, print and digital outlets in your target market.

Email distribution is inaccurate and slow.

  • Hours go into building sources lists, and they can go stale the moment a reporter moves organizations or changes beats.
  • You hit send and wait, with no sign of whether a newsroom is actually using your story.

National services are costly, and their metrics can be unreliable.

  • Email open rates are only estimates. Privacy protections, image blocking and automated scanning can make them inaccurate.
  • You pay per release, and it still lands in the same crowded inboxes.
  • An open rate cannot tell you which newsroom looked, or whether anyone used it.
