1 Key Features

When searching for a media contact database, consider the key features that will serve your agency's needs. The best databases offer extensive, up-to-date contact information for journalists and media outlets. They should also provide details like journalists' beats, preferences for receiving pitches, and past articles. This information is invaluable for tailoring your approach to each contact. Additionally, look for databases that offer integration with email platforms and customer relationship management (CRM) systems, streamlining your outreach process.

We've used Meltwater and MuckRack in the past. Meltwater is fantastic, but very expensive. MuckRack has a great database and is relatively up-to-date, but doesn't have those intuitive list making functions and 'clean UX' feel like Meltwater. MuckRack does the trick for us for now, but it could be more UX-friendly...

Según mi experiencia es importante que los medios de comunicacion tengan ciertas clasificaciones según los objetivos de la comunicación que se busca implementar y no enviuar simplemente a todo el mundo, sino ser más selectivo en la gestión para poder dar mejor seguimiento. Por ejemplo, el target, alcance geográfico, impacto de sus redes sociales, etc.

2 Database Quality

The quality of a media contact database can make or break your PR campaigns. High-quality databases are meticulously maintained, ensuring that contact details are current and accurate. They often have teams dedicated to verifying information and updating records. This reduces the likelihood of bounced emails and helps maintain the professionalism of your outreach efforts. Remember, a database with outdated or incorrect information can damage your agency's reputation and waste valuable time.

The most effective are personally collected contact databases supported by personal approach with analysis and positive relationships with media: 1. Research relevant media for the industry and find points of contact. 2. Meet journalists and editors in person at events on LinkedIn. 3. Always check that the data is up to date! 4. Tag relevant topics for your contacts in the media. 5. Stay connected and interact with your contacts: comment on LinkedIn posts, ask for recommendations, share your news and offer exclusive opportunities. Remember that the best and most effective contacts are created via friendly, transparently, warm relationships. People first!

Most small to mid-sized PR agencies will use one of three third party contact databases. Large agencies may have built and populated their own. In each case, the important thing is not the database itself - although some are better than others for particular sectors - but how well relationships are managed and the interests and focuses of relevant media are understood.

importante que las bases sean permanentemente actualizadas porque los profesionales de medios tienen bastante movilidad. incluir detalles como el turno que habitualmente tiene ademas del teléfono y correo es importante para evitar molestar a los colegas en su tiempo de descanso.

Customization can greatly enhance the effectiveness of a media contact database. The ability to create custom lists and tags allows you to organize contacts in a way that aligns with your agency's strategies and campaigns. Furthermore, some databases offer features that let you personalize your outreach at scale, such as custom fields in emails. This level of customization ensures that your communications are relevant and engaging to each recipient.

hace a?os trabajé como freelancer y tuve que ocupar mucho de mi tiempo productivo, el que pude ocupar en algun proyecto que me significara un ingreso adicional, en llamar a todos los medios para actualizar mi base de datos. Entonces comprendí que el contar con ese insumo se traduce en tiempo, que si lo gestiono puede traducirse en dinero. No tener la información a mano me costó dinero
