A must have for PR professionals
Media HQ makes our job easier. We issue a lot of comms, I would say more than the average brand, so it's crucial we're reaching the right audience on the right topics and the analytics are very useful so we can see the open rate and the journalists most likely to cover. There are additional useful features that we really enjoy like the news feed etc.
PROSMediaHQ's interface and ease of use is its best feature. Compared to other tools in the market it's much more user friendly and more importantly the database is up-to-date. MediaHQ is continuously improving its features also which is great to see.
CONSSometimes it can lag whilst waiting on a page to load, but that's more to do with my impatience than a problem with the service itself! UK lists could probably do with some building out overall.
Reason for choosing MediaHQ
Media HQ is the leader for us in terms of media distribution. It's reliable and easy to use.
Reasons for switching to MediaHQ
Meltwater's lists were so out of date that our comms were not landing - Media HQ's deliver rate is a lot higher and more accurate.

Good pruduct
Have used the product through the years - and features that were included in the MediaHQ when I started using the product 10 years ago are now are separated out and costed individually so it's getting more and more difficult to not feel price gouged. Training is a video and very little else. Useful to have influencers on the list hub too.
PROSThe list hub is a hugely useful resource. The product is really easy to use and scheduling of press releases is a very useful feature. The reporting tool is useful too.
CONSThere was no offer of integrating with an existing business product. Two step authentication is time consuming and not necessary. The list hub can be confusing. Lists can also be out of date - people have left, moved jobs or are not included. Title of people and where they work in large organisations would be useful.
Vendor Response
Thank you for being a long-time user of MediaHQ and for sharing your feedback with us. We're happy to hear that you find our product useful and easy to use. We appreciate your feedback on the integration of our product with other business tools, and we will take it into consideration as we continue to develop our offering. We're sorry to hear that you had issues with the list hub, and we will work to ensure that our lists are up-to-date and accurate. Thank you for your continued support of MediaHQ.

Media HQ Review
Really good, it doesn't take long to get up to speed with it and is really beneficial for someone who regularly issues press releases
PROSRange of contacts available, low rate of bouncebacks on emails, being able to schedule times for press releases.
CONSNot much! There are a few contacts who aren't on it that would be useful to have on it but all is largely positive

Great programme, accessible learning curve
Very easy to use and to send press release out to hundreds of media contacts simultaneously.
CONSWhen trying to send a test email of a drafted press release, I think there should be an alert that comes up to say 'Your test email could not be sent because you have left a field blank.' However, if I have indeed left a field blank (which I have accidentally done a few times), it looks as if the test email has been sent and I'm then left wondering why it hasn't arrived. It's a small gripe!
