Interesting, thanks! I wish we could get a little more context about each journalist and also a training on how to reach out to them properly.

@romain_carpentier Thanks Romain! Yeah our goal is to keep building more comprehensive profiles of journalists to give more context about them, what they like to write about, etc. Training is a great idea! We're working on some resources to help startups get press. I can follow up when that's ready!

@romain_carpentier @juhaszhenderson As Matt said we've been working on some resources to provide support for pitches. We also have some templates that work well. Once you signup feel free to email us directly and we can send your way (probably will add this as another feature in the near-term too). 🚀

Hey guys! 👋 Press Hunt is a categorized database of 750k journalists & podcasts. Running PR campaigns is expensive and time-consuming. It can take hundreds of hours to find the right journalists to reach out to about your new product launch or fundraising round. Finding the right journalists to pitch, then finding their current email, is the biggest kink in every PR campaign. Press Hunt aggregates millions of data points on 550k+ journalists, reporters, and media outlets, and 200k+ podcasts. Most importantly, Press Hunt includes tags and categories to help you find the most relevant journalists AND their direct email address. Since our 2.0 we’ve: 📰 Added ~200k new journalists from all over the world 🔮 Enriched our journalist dataset with more attributes, including photos & twitter bios 📻 Added over 200k podcasts to the database, complete with emails and data like hosts and # of episodes 🤖 Integrated a guided Press Hunt experience where we lead your campaign, match you with 1,000 journalists, and run outreach email campaigns for you 🎨 Drastically improved our UI to help you find new journalists to pitch and easily export their contact info 🏆 Helped hundreds of startups, enterprises, and PR agencies like Universal Music Group, Datadog, and Taskade (YC S19) run PR campaigns We’ve also brought on some new talent to the team, like Andrew Medal who hosts podcasts for Entrepreneur & Sirius XM reaching tens of millions in their network, and has written columns for and contributed to outlets like The Next Web, Forbes, and Inc for the last 6 years. He’s interviewed people like Gary Vaynerchuk, DJ Khaled, and Nipsey Hussle for his shows. Press Hunt plans start at $69/mo, but we’ve made a special 40% off forever lifetime discount code for early adopters on Product Hunt: PRODUCTHUNT. This code expires this week. 🙂 We’ll be around all day to field feedback, answer questions, and help you get started. Thanks for reading this all the way through! - Matt, Aaron, & Andrew

The new twitter bio feature are great! It gives us a general idea of who the journalists are and what they like to write about! 👍🏻

Super stoked to bring everyone this new version❗❗❗ We've been working non-stop on feature-rich product updates and continuously aggregating different datasets to provide even more breadth and depth to our database (two key points based on existing user feedback). 🚀 The 200k podcast database is a great new value-add as well, and we're excited to be including that in today's launch. Thanks for the support and let us know if there are any other questions we can answer. Thanks!

Do you guys also offer EU journalists contacts?
Matt Henderson 🚀

@luca_cavur Hi thanks for reaching out Luca! Yes, we have tens of thousands of journalists in the EU

Amazing resource, helped get in touch with some journalists who wrote an article on a project. Saves a ton of time for searching for emails and Twitter accounts.
@juhaszhenderson Very bad experience using the Press Hunt's press release feature: — Their website promises 1-3 days turn-around: "the release will go out in 1-3 business days" and even pushes you to pay sooner to expedite: "The earlier you submit your release and pay the earlier we can get it distributed!" — In the support chat they assured 3-5 days — Later in the email said 5-7 days — They ended up blowing the 7 day deadline, totally screwed up our PR campaign

Hi Matt,I cannot figure it out why you keep billing us despite we cancel our subscription and also we paid-for press release but never heard from your team, I paid for 04 months here in total without any use of it, your email bug is never fixed since I subscribed and support is too poor, Please refund and remove us from the auto dedication of payment from your account, Our email id is - Hello@easyusertest.com I hope you will show some professionalism and will have some courtesy to reply.  refund for below as it is not ethical to deduct;  4 Dec 2021US$249.00Press Hunt Premium29 Nov 2021US$249.00Press Release Thanks
