What Your PR Virtual Assistant Handles Daily

Keep your senior publicists shaping narratives, building editor relationships, and closing retainer contracts while our managed operational desk runs the back-end campaign engine.

Media List Building & Journalist Beat Research

Generic mass-pitch blasts burn agency reputations. Your VA builds hyper-targeted, hand-verified media lists aligned with specific editorial beats.

  • Muck Rack & Cision Beat Scraping: Filtering reporters who recently covered funding, consumer tech, healthcare, or retail trends.
  • Recent Article Cross-Referencing: Verifying the journalist’s past 3 articles to confirm current beat relevancy.
  • Direct Contact Verification: Validating email deliverability via Hunter and NeverBounce to keep bounce rates under 1%.
  • Podcast & Broadcast Producer Tracking: Sourcing line producers and booking contacts for national podcasts and morning shows.

Press Release Formatting & Wire Distribution

Ensure AP style consistency and spotless wire dissemination. Your VA formats releases, attaches multimedia assets, and schedules distribution.

  • AP Style & Boilerplate Verification: Checking formatting standards, datelines, executive titles, and media contact blocks.
  • Newswire Staging: Uploading copy, high-res executive headshots, and video links into PR Newswire, Business Wire, or GlobeNewswire.
  • Online Newsroom Uploads: Publishing press releases and downloadable press kits directly into client Prowly or WordPress rooms.
  • Wire Distribution Report Retrieval: Extracting pickup reports, syndicated reach figures, and downstream publication links.

Connectively, HARO & Qwoted Rapid Response

Win high-authority backlinks and quote placements in national outlets. Your assistant monitors journalist requests and drafts rapid pitch responses.

  • 3x Daily Query Scrubbing: Sifting through morning, afternoon, and evening queries across Connectively, Qwoted, and SourceBottle.
  • Sub-60 Minute Pitch Turnaround: Matching client executive bios to relevant queries and drafting personalized quote submissions.
  • Approved Quote Repository Maintenance: Maintaining a searchable Notion library of founder viewpoints and company data.
  • Reporter Follow-Up & Attribution Audits: Checking published articles to ensure client names, titles, and backlinks are included.

Coverage Tracking & Client Clipping Reports

Never pull an all-nighter compiling monthly client decks. Your VA captures press mentions, generates CoverageBook decks, and tabulates PR metrics.

  • CoverageBook & Slide Deck Compilation: Capturing clean full-page web screenshots, broadcast clips, and print clippings.
  • Domain Authority & Readership Tabulation: Logging estimated coverage views, audience reach, social shares, and SEO backlinks.
  • Competitor Share of Voice (SOV): Monitoring competitors across Meltwater and Brand24 to provide comparative insights.
  • Real-Time "Hit" Alerts: Dispatched immediate Slack/email notifications to clients when major press stories go live.

Digital Media Kits & Speaker One-Sheets

Equip journalists with everything they need in one click. Your assistant designs and updates press kits, founder one-sheets, and media assets.

  • Canva Media Kit Updates: Keeping founder bios, product photography, logos, and company stats updated.
  • Press Room Asset Drive Organization: Structuring Google Drive / Dropbox press folders with 300 DPI photography and b-roll.
  • Speaker One-Sheet Drafting: Formatting keynote topic synopses and podcast interview briefs for agency executives.
  • Award & Speaking Submission Logistics: Tracking deadlines, compiling entry packets, and filing nominations for Inc 5000, Forbes 30u30, etc.

Pitch Follow-Ups & Executive Interview Prep

Turn initial journalist interest into published features. Your VA coordinates interviews, schedules prep calls, and tracks embargo agreements.

  • Structured Follow-Up Cadences: Sending polite, concise nudges at 48 hours and 5 days without spamming reporters.
  • Interview Scheduling Across Time Zones: Coordinating executive calendars, dial-ins, and studio visits with journalists.
  • 1-Page Executive Interview Briefings: Compiling reporter backgrounds, recent angles, and recommended talking points.
  • Embargo Agreement Tracking: Logging formal written embargo confirmations before releasing exclusive preview materials.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions from PR Managers

Everything you need to know about media list research, embargo confidentiality, CoverageBook automated reporting, and dedicated project manager supervision.

Yes, with seasoned media relations literacy. We do not provide generic clerical data-entry workers. Our PR assistants understand how newsrooms operate. They monitor Connectively (formerly HARO), Qwoted, and SourceBottle three times daily, match client executive bios with relevant queries, draft concise pitches featuring client credentials, and submit them within tight deadlines. For proactive outreach, they build verified media lists in Muck Rack or Cision, ensuring reporters are currently covering the exact beat before pitches are sent.
Confidentiality and strict embargo enforcement are institutional standards. In public relations, an early leak of an M&A deal, funding announcement, or major product launch can ruin an entire campaign. Prior to touching your accounts, SageDoer executes legally enforceable bilateral Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). Your virtual assistant operates through role-gated sub-accounts in your agency tools. Access to PR databases (Cision, Muck Rack) and shared drives is provisioned through encrypted password vaults (such as 1Password), meaning raw master credentials remain protected.
Yes. Compiling end-of-month client coverage decks is one of the highest time-sinks for agency publicists. Your assistant captures full-page web screenshots, clips broadcast audio/video segments, inputs articles into CoverageBook or your agency's slide templates, pulls domain authority and estimated readership metrics, and drafts executive summary digests so your client reports are delivered on time without late-night stress.
PR Account Managers and Directors work in high-speed, deadline-driven environments balancing client calls, pitch approvals, and breaking news opportunities. You do not have time to train, micromanage, or monitor an offshore assistant. Your dedicated Project Manager (provided at $0 extra charge) acts as your operations lead: they audit media lists for duplicate contacts, review press release formatting against AP style standards, monitor task SLAs, and deliver consolidated weekly performance digests.
Zero hidden fees. We operate on flat, transparent hourly rates ($7/hr Part-Time or $6/hr Full-Time) with no onboarding costs, no agency membership charges, and no long-term contracts. You can easily ramp up support during heavy Q4 holiday gift guide pitching or major product launch cycles, and scale back anytime. You pay strictly for productive hours worked.
