What is PR.co?
PR.co is an AI-powered PR platform designed to help organisations manage public relations beyond traditional media relations. The software assists with press release distribution, media outreach, and stakeholder communication. It combines automation with AI capabilities to help PR teams identify relevant journalists, manage campaigns, and track coverage across multiple channels. The platform positions itself as a broader PR solution rather than just a media database or distribution tool. It's suitable for in-house PR teams, marketing departments, and PR agencies working with small to mid-sized clients. The freemium model lets users test basic features before committing to a paid plan, making it accessible for teams with limited budgets.
