Speedy replies: We'll send a phone push alert to a selection of experts for you
​A more precise way to distribute requests
Traditional services distribute journalists' requests and press releases using broad categories like "health," "business," and "property." This scattergun approach results in inbox overwhelm. Plus, these rigid categories lack the flexibility needed for effectively sourcing case studies and human interest stories. Putting shout-outs on social media is hit and miss.
Media Linkup is unique. Targeted alerts are based on hashtags from members' profiles. Need a psychologist who specialises in ADHD? We'll ping a selection instantly.
Our open, Facebook/LinkedIn-style feed lets any member see your requests — excellent for case studies. Response rates are higher because your audience are media-keen business people.
And, unlike a simple Facebook group, Media Linkup offers a searchable directory to find experts quickly by industry, expertise, keywords and location.
Completely free for journalists and always will be.

Total control over your privacy and alerts
Media Linkup is run by journalists. We understand that you get overwhelmed by information. Media Linkup won't add to that.
-
Opt out of message requests if you don't want to use the in-app chat feature.
-
Your choice whether you display your contact details on your profile and you just want to see replies on your post.
-
You can get instant push alerts to your phone and/or inbox for pitches based on hashtags you have on your profile and a daily round-up of all pitches. But again, you can opt out.
