When to Use

  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).

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.
