FAQs

Do I need PR experience to use Press Monkey?

No, Press Monkey is designed for users without prior PR experience. You provide a product update or milestone, and the AI agent generates story angles, identifies journalists, and drafts personalized pitches for your review and approval.

How does Press Monkey personalize pitches?

Press Monkey's AI drafts pitches that reference a journalist's recent articles, ensuring high relevance. Pitches are sent from your own email via OAuth, not a mass-mailing domain, and include automated follow-ups to maximize engagement.

Can I use Press Monkey solely for podcast booking?

Yes, the Podcast Booker sub-agent operates independently. It matches your background to relevant shows, drafts guest pitches, handles communication with producers, and provides a briefing document before each interview. This feature is available on the Ongoing plan and above.

Is there a free trial available for Press Monkey?

Yes, the Launch plan includes a 7-day free trial, with no credit card required. During the trial, you can run one full story campaign, from briefing to pitches and initial follow-ups. If you don't receive at least one reply, the trial can be extended.

What happens when a journalist replies to a pitch?

Press Monkey handles the cold outreach and follow-up sequence. Once a journalist replies, the responsibility shifts to you. The tool flags the reply in your dashboard and can provide a suggested response draft to assist you.
