MEDIAHQ VS. IRISH MEDIA CONTACTS DIRECTORY

More contacts, more detail

Because the internet is much bigger than, well, anything, MediaHQ can store more contacts and more detail than our directory. For example, our online database not only has the name and email address of a particular journalist, but also a picture, a biography, their Twitter handle, whether they're on Facebook or not, and what columns or supplements they write for

Release reports

Because you can send your release out on MediaHQ, it means that you will get a media report saved in your account. It also means that if your release didn't make it to one or more of your selected contacts, we'll know and we'll be able to email you the reasons and corrections to ensure they do get the message.

From your own email address

Any release sent using MediaHQ comes from your email address, so any responses you get will also be to your email address. MediaHQ will be nowhere in your release, and so the journalists and newsrooms you contact will know who the release is from and to whom to reply.

Everywhere you go

MediaHQ is accessible all over the world, wherever you go. Every release you've ever sent and every list you've ever made is stored in your profile. This means that you can get a release out very quickly, regardless of where you are or whether you have MediaConnector and your address book with you.

A one-stop-shop

MediaHQ has all of the contacts you need already listed and available to contact. For you, this means no more lengthy spreadsheets, no more uploading contacts, no more typing endless lists of email addresses. Our website has and does it all.

Constantly updated

We pride ourselves on having all contacts correct and up to date. Which is why, if you notice a change that we've missed, you can tell us. In fact, please do. One of the major advantages of MediaHQ is the fact that it is constantly updated. Much as we'd like to, recalling each directory to Tippex out or change a title is simply unrealistic. With MediaHQ your contacts stay correct longer.

Personalised releases

With MediaHQ you can personalise all of the releases you send with one click. Instead of a simple 'Hi there' or an impersonal 'To whom it may concern', one button on our site allows you to insert the recipients' firstnames into each release sent. This affords you the privilege of being more direct and more personal with the journalists you want to contact with your message.
