Press Ranger

Use AI to find and pitch journalists, publishers, and podcasts to generate good press coverage

What is Press Ranger?

Press Ranger uses artificial intelligence to identify journalists, publishers, and podcast hosts relevant to your industry or story, then helps you craft and send targeted pitches to them. The tool aims to save time on media research and outreach by automating the discovery process and suggesting personalised pitch angles. It's designed for founders, marketing teams, and public relations professionals who need press coverage but lack the resources for a full PR agency or the time to manually research media contacts.
