Real communications practitioner feedback • Hover card to pause scroll

"During our major enterprise product launch, we had to coordinate 40 embargoed reporter briefs and monitor wire release pickups. Our SageDoer VA prepared executive briefing books, verified beat coverage on Muck Rack, and compiled our CoverageBook in record time."

Alexander Reed

Director of Media Relations, Apex Tech PR (San Francisco)

"Sifting through daily HARO and Qwoted queries used to eat 90 minutes of my morning. Our assistant flags the 3 exact queries that fit our CEO's thought leadership pillars, drafts soundbites, and handles follow-ups effortlessly."

Claire Lambert

Corporate Communications Lead, Horizon Health (New York)

"I used to hire freelance PR coordinators on Upwork who had zero idea what an embargo meant or how to structure a media pitch. SageDoer gave me a dedicated assistant and a free Project Manager who know modern PR inside and out for $6/hr."

David Kramer

Managing Partner, Velocity Comms Agency (London)

"Our weekly executive clippings report for leadership is completely on autopilot now. My VA pulls sentiment from Meltwater, links coverage clips, tracks estimated impressions, and delivers our Monday briefing before 8 AM."

Frequently Asked Questions

Realistic answers for media relations managers, PR agency directors, and corporate communications heads delegating operations.

Every SageDoer Virtual Assistant and Project Manager signs rigorous Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). We adhere strictly to zero-trust security procedures: password delegation via encrypted password vaults (1Password, Bitwarden) so master credentials are never viewed raw, clean-desk environments, and strict embargo discipline. Material non-public information (MNPI), confidential funding rounds, upcoming M&A announcements, and proprietary journalist contact files remain 100% secure.

Yes. Our media relations VAs understand modern PR workflows: building customized media lists by beat, publication tier, geographical region, and article keyword frequency. They cross-reference Muck Rack, Cision, Roxhill, and LinkedIn to ensure reporters are still actively writing on the topic, remove stale or bounced contacts, and log prior coverage stances to ensure your pitch feels personalized rather than generic blast spam.

Yes, 100%. You pay strictly for the actual working hours logged by your Media Relations Virtual Assistant ($6/hr for full-time or $7/hr for part-time). The dedicated Project Manager's daily quality checks, schedule verification, onboarding guidance, and operational oversight are provided completely complimentary with 0% platform markups.

Yes. Your VA prepares comprehensive briefing books for your C-suite and spokespeople 24 hours prior to interviews: detailing the journalist's background and recent headlines, interview format (live vs. taped), approved talking points, potential curveball or critical questions with suggested bridging language, and dial-in coordinates or studio address logistics.

Yes. Media relations workloads surge dramatically around major announcements, funding rounds, corporate acquisitions, annual industry expos, or sudden crisis response windows, and normalize during steady-state storytelling weeks. You can begin on Part-Time (20 hrs/week), scale to Full-Time (40 hrs/week) during heavy launch months, or adjust hours smoothly with your dedicated Project Manager with zero lock-in contracts.
