I love everythiing about this software from its ease of use to functionality to great database. > > I love it. I really like the lists for regional press by county and by sector. It saves me so much time. ----- ### "A Smooth, Supportive, and User-Friendly MediaHQ Experience" — 5.0/5 > **Aisling** | *11 December 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: MediaHQ has quickly become one of my favourite tools thanks to its combination of excellent customer service and remarkable ease of use. The platform feels intuitive from the moment you log in, making it simple to build media lists, distribute press releases, and track engagement without any unnecessary complexity. What truly sets MediaHQ apart, however, is the support team, always friendly, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping users get the most from the platform. Their guidance makes the whole experience even smoother. Overall, MediaHQ is efficient, reliable, and user-focused, making it a standout choice for anyone working in PR or communications. > > **Cons**: While MediaHQ is a strong platform overall, there are a few areas where I feel it could improve. At times, the search functionality can be a bit limited, especially when trying to find very specific journalists or niche media outlets. Occasionally, some contact information can feel slightly outdated, which means I need to double-check certain details before sending a release. I also think reporting features could be a bit more detailed to offer deeper insights into campaign performance. None of these issues are deal-breakers, but refining these elements would make the platform even more powerful. With how responsive the customer service team is, I’m hopeful these enhancements will continue to evolve over time. > > My overall experience with MediaHQ has been very positive, and it has quickly become a valuable part of my workflow. The platform is exceptionally easy to use, which makes tasks like building media lists, sending press releases, and managing outreach feel streamlined and stress-free. The intuitive layout means I can find what I need without wasting time, and the features are practical and well-designed for everyday PR needs. What stands out most, however, is the quality of the customer service. The team is consistently supportive, friendly, and quick to respond, making it easy to resolve any questions that arise. Their hands-on approach adds a lot of value and builds confidence in the platform. While there are a few areas that could be refined, such as more detailed reporting and even broader search capabilities, these are relatively small in comparison to the overall benefits. MediaHQ offers reliability, efficiency, and a genuinely user-focused experience, making it a strong choice for anyone managing media outreach. ----- ### "Media HQ Review" — 4.0/5 > **Gráinne** | *22 September 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how easy it is to find contact details and disseminate press releases; the process is seamless. It's also a very user friendly software, it's almost foolproof. > > **Cons**: I would love to be able to send to more than 300 contacts in one go, and I wish there was an auto update feature for lists, where someone leaves a position, that the person who takes over the role would autopopulate into your list. This possibly exists and I just need to look harder. I'd also love a pop-up when you use a template but don't change the title, reminding you to change it. I've sent one too many with "macra template" left on them. > > I really can't find much fault with it, and all my cons are really just me being lazy or forgetful, so I can't blame the software for that. ----- ### "Media HQ review - Abbey Theatre press office" — 4.0/5 > **Mia** | *12 March 2026* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The customer support is very fast and helpful, always ready to help on any queries I have no matter how big or small. I also like how varied the media contacts database is and that I have access to international news desks and journos as well as Irish ones. It makes building lists easy. > > **Cons**: The searchability on the media containers database is sometimes poor and glitchy. I.e. I will search a name in the search bar and it won’t show up immediately, but then I search it a different day or via the browser extension on an article the journalist has written and it’ll show up. Also, sometimes the formatting when drafting press releases is tricky especially when I copy over from Microsoft word or other docs. The fonts will appear differently or spacing is slightly off, etc. > > Overall very happy with the service\! Definitely room for improvement on a few technical things (see above) but based on the recent database training I received it seems MediaHQ are actively working on improving the service and ‘story cycle’ and are very receptive to feedback from users. ----- ### "Great Tool for Reaching the Right Journalists" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 September 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like best about MediaHQ is how easy it makes the whole press release process. The journalist database is always up to date, so I don’t waste time worrying if I’m contacting the right people. Building lists is quick, and sending to multiple audiences couldn’t be simpler. I also find the velocity grading really useful. Being able to see open rates right away gives me a clear picture of what’s working and helps me judge the impact of each release. Overall, it’s reliable, time-saving and takes a lot of the stress out of PR. > > **Cons**: There’s very little I dislike. If I could add one feature, it would be a conversion score showing which outlets actually picked up and published a release. The velocity grading already helps with open rates, but knowing exactly where stories land would make the platform even stronger. > > My overall experience with MediaHQ has been really positive. The platform is easy to use, reliable and makes a big difference in how I manage press releases day to day. Having access to an up-to-date journalist database saves so much time, and the tools for building lists and sending to multiple audiences are straightforward and efficient. I also appreciate the insights, like velocity grading, which give me instant feedback on performance. On top of that, the customer support has been excellent — quick to respond and genuinely helpful when I’ve had questions, like figuring out the best times to send releases. Since using their advice, I’ve seen more of my stories picked up and published, which is the result that matters most. Altogether, MediaHQ combines strong features with great support, and it’s become an invaluable part of my communications work. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/421276/mediahq?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/421276/mediahq) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
