Media Database Operations Skill

When to Use

  • Building pitch lists for launches or thought-leadership campaigns.
  • Cleaning and deduping media contacts after staffing changes.
  • Tracking interactions, responses, and embargo agreements.

Framework

  1. Research – pull inputs from tools (MuckRack, Propel, manual research) covering recent articles, beats, social handles.
  2. Segmentation – categorize by beat, outlet tier, region, relationship status, preferred format.
  3. Compliance – store consent notes, GDPR considerations, embargo agreements, NDAs.
  4. Maintenance – monthly hygiene (bounces, role changes, new publications).
  5. Insights – log interactions to inform future pitches and avoid over-contacting.

Templates

  • Media list CSV schema.
  • Outreach CRM board (status, last touch, next step).
  • Consent/embargo tracking sheet.

Tips

  • Keep tags consistent so filters work across launches.
  • Track social handles for quick DM coordination during crises.
  • Note journalist preferences (format, lead time, exclusives) to personalize outreach.

Pptx

Use this skill any time a .pptx file is involved in any way — as input, output, or both. This includes: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .pptx file (even if the extracted content will be used elsewhere, like in an email or summary); editing, modifying, or updating existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates, layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user mentions "deck," "slides," "presentation," or references a .pptx filename, regardless of what they plan to do with the content afterward. If a .pptx file needs to be opened, created, or touched, use this skill.
