I recently attended my first OnePitch event in Atlanta (Coffee w/Publicists) I truly enjoyed the community and learning about the platform and the way it can be used to pitch clients and find media outlets. It was great meeting Kendall and Katrina as well. I’m looking forward to more events and working with OnePitch to expand client reach.

OnePitch has come a long way from when it initially launched a few years ago. First, I have to say I love the people who work at OnePitch! It feels less of a predatory sales environment and more of a collaborative community. Jered, the CEO, has been a great influencer to follow for various tips and I cannot praise Kendall Aldridge enough for all her work and inspiring ideas! The OnePitch team consistently puts out quality content useful to our evolving industry; I love the blogs, Slack connections, and pitch resources like the webinars/“Pitch Paloozas” that have taken off in recent years. (I recently told the team how I missed “Pitches That Landed” and was SO excited to see one published last week!) To start, I highly recommend this environment over other platforms. Regarding the platform, there are features I like and others that could use improvements (like any platform). I enjoy the scoring capability that comes with searching for relevant journalists, as well as the ability to see what relevant articles resulted from the specific search used in the score. My recommendation would be to change the section name from “recent articles” to “relevant articles” and then add a section for actual recent coverage linking 1-3 stories that were the very last articles written and published by THAT journalist, regardless of relevancy to the original search query. That way, you can see whether their *last* article published is remotely related or applicable to the original search term and/or the relevant articles pulled up by the search. E.g., if I search “NVIDIA Gen AI” topics/journalists, and the top journalist has a few relevant articles from two months ago, but the *last* story that journalist wrote was about an upcoming event with AWS, I could deduce that journalist might not want NVIDIA pitches at that time, then plan and pitch accordingly. The pitching tool seems to churn more relevant results than other “AI assistants” featured in other tools/platforms, which is great to see! Sometimes, I like to use the pitching tool as a backup to refine the content if the results indicate I wasn’t specific enough in my original pitch. The target search filters are very helpful; I love the ability to search by articles and not just journalists. One potential recommendation would be to make searching outlets sans journalists easier. Maybe I missed it, but is there a way to search outlets in a specific industry? E.g., I would love to search for industrial and manufacturing publications (which are slightly different than logistics or supply chain outlets, but some overlap) and not just journalists who *write about* those industries, but are published in outlets that might not reach the intended audiences. This ability would help us track relevant publications with niche audiences when journalists constantly change job positions and employers. 😊 Overall, I appreciate this platform, the resources available, and the team behind the work! While there are improvements and growth opportunities ahead, I highly recommend OnePitch as a tool for PR and comms professionals, especially while it’s much more affordable than other rivals. 😉

Since launching my own publicity business, I have found it extremely helpful to navigate the One Pitch platform to find the targeted reporters that will cover my news! The One Pitch platform is easy to use, and I am able to build my own tailored media lists for my clients and save them (unlike the expensive competitors) that charge thousands of dollars a month for a media monitoring and pitching platform.

The Coffee with Publicists: OnePitch Chicago Event was such an awesome introduction to the OnePitch platform and team. It was a convenient location and provided a lovely atmosphere to meet and network with other publicists. The team provided practical, actionable advice that we could implement immediately, and the interactive training session allowed for real-time feedback and learning. It was great to attend the networking meetup to expand my professional network and find potential collaborators. Looking forward to a future event!

I've attended one in-person Coffee with Publicists event as well as two reporter pitch review calls and really found value in each one. I'm so happy I found this community and look forward to future events I can take part in!

I attended a OnePitch meetup in Denver, and it was such a great event! The turnout was huge and full of strategic communications professionals looking to network and make connections with others. Awesome swag and free coffee too :) I'll definitely attend any and all future OnePitch events whenever I get the opportunity!

I love the Coffee with a Journalist podcast. I look forward to seeing who the next guest is, and I often share information with my colleagues that I learned during the interview. It's a must listen for any PR professional
