"We manage PR retainers for 16 enterprise B2B SaaS and AI startups. Building targeted media lists in Muck Rack and assembling month-end CoverageBook decks was pulling 20 hours a week from our senior account managers. SageDoer deployed an assistant who verifies every reporter's recent coverage, formats our clipbooks, and tracks pitch responses. Our account leads now spend 100% of their time strategizing and landing exclusives."
"Having a dedicated Project Manager is an absolute lifesaver. When our consumer tech client raised an unexpected $40M Series B, our PM coordinated wire staging on Business Wire, updated our embargo distribution tracker, and pulled broadcast mentions into our executive report within hours of the wire crossing. Flawless execution under tight pressure."
"Our agency used to miss dozens of Connectively and Qwoted opportunities because our account teams were buried in client calls. Our SageDoer assistant screens incoming queries three times a day, flags relevant opportunities for our clients in Slack within 15 minutes, and drafts preliminary response points. We secured six Tier-1 national placements in our first quarter."
"At $6/hour for full-time, the return on investment is extraordinary. My assistant builds pre-interview briefing dossiers for our CEO clients, tracks editorial calendar deadlines across healthcare trades, and formats our monthly Share of Voice dashboards. The quality of work is equal to a second-year agency account coordinator."

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, realistic answers addressing embargo confidentiality, directory tool access permissions, media list accuracy, and crisis comms surges.
How do you protect sensitive client embargoes, pre-announcement funding, and M&A news?
Strict confidentiality and brand protection are governed by institutional legal agreements. Every SageDoer assistant and project manager executes legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) that specifically enforce trade-secret protection, strict client embargo rules, and pre-release material confidentiality. Your VA accesses your agency tools (Muck Rack, CoverageBook, Google Drive, Pitchbox) through scoped collaborator permissions managed via encrypted password vaults (1Password, Bitwarden). Assistants never download unencrypted client press materials or confidential briefing documents to personal drives.
What level of access does the virtual assistant need to our PR directories and media databases?
Your assistant operates strictly through standard seat or collaborator permissions. In platforms like Muck Rack, Cision, Roxhill, and CoverageBook, you assign standard user credentials that permit them to build media lists, export verified contact spreadsheets, and create client clipbooks without granting master administrative ownership or access to your underlying contract billing settings. If your agency uses shared agency inboxes or Airtable trackers, scoped team roles ensure complete control.
Why is the dedicated Project Manager completely free?
There is zero catch. PR agency account management cannot tolerate sloppy execution—a misspelled editor name, an out-of-date media list with bounced pitches, or a missed embargo date burns journalist goodwill and jeopardizes high-ticket client retainers. We absorb the Project Manager's cost to ensure that every media list, pitch tracking log, and CoverageBook report undergoes rigorous daily pre-flight quality verification before you review it. You are billed purely for the productive working hours logged by your dedicated VA.
Does the virtual assistant write final strategy and pitch journalists directly, or handle account operations?
Our virtual assistants function as specialized PR operations specialists and account coordinators. They do not replace your senior account director, media strategist, or executive counsel. Your VA handles the high-volume operational grind: researching 100+ beat-aligned journalists, pulling recent article context, assembling executive briefing packets, formatting press releases in AP Style, building CoverageBook slide decks, and tracking Qwoted requests. This enables your account managers to spend 100% of their creative energy pitching senior editors, consulting clients, and securing front-page features.
What happens during breaking news launch blitzes, crisis management, or assistant leave?
Whether your agency is managing simultaneous multi-client product announcements, navigating an urgent weekend crisis response cycle, or your assistant experiences an unexpected absence, SageDoer guarantees complete operational continuity. Because your dedicated Project Manager documents your agency's exact media list parameters, pitch tracking conventions, and report templates on Day 1, pre-trained internal backup technical assistants can step in immediately without dropping a single reporting deadline or press list.
