Let your AI agent handle time-consuming journalist outreach—drafting custom emails, researching contacts, and tracking every response so you focus on high-value strategy.

What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In financial services marketing, strategists waste valuable time copying journalist data from Cision or Meltwater into Excel, drafting individual emails, and manually tracking replies in Outlook. Every follow-up requires digging through sent folders and updating shared Google Sheets. The repetitive nature of this process leads to errors, missed deadlines, and generic pitches that get ignored.
