How to get press without a PR agency
Product launch coming up? Want to announce your $5m seed round so you can attract customers, partners, and early hires?
We got you 🤝
We're Press Club, and we help founders land press.
Weida didn't want to pay $20k for a PR agency, so he locked in and spent a week sending 200 cold emails to journalists. It worked, and he landed Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and six other outlets.
In this workshop, we'll talk about exactly how to find those 200 targeted journalists, how we've consistently achieved a 10% response rate (compared to the industry average of 0.5%), and the step-by-step process of how we've landed our clients on Forbes, TechCrunch, and Axios.
