Meticulous outreach. Maximum coverage.

You craft the narrative and handle the high-level networking; our VAs handle the tedious logistics of finding the right contacts, sending the pitches, and tracking the hits.

Media List Building

Scraping and compiling highly targeted lists of journalists, editors, and influencers using tools like Cision, Muck Rack, or manual LinkedIn/Twitter research to find exact email formats.

Pitch Drafting & Outreach

Executing personalized email outreach campaigns. Customizing pitch templates, managing mail merges, tracking open rates, and sending polite follow-ups to secure coverage.

Podcast & Speaking Tours

Identifying relevant industry podcasts or event stages, submitting speaker applications, and coordinating calendar availability with producers once booked.

Coverage Clipping

Monitoring Google Alerts, Meltwater, and social media for brand pickups. Creating polished, beautifully formatted PDF clipping reports for you to present to your clients.

HARO / Connectively

Monitoring journalist requests on platforms like Connectively (formerly HARO), Qwoted, and Twitter. Drafting quick, expert quotes on behalf of your executives or clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Addressing common queries regarding our Managed Publicist VA service.

Do your VAs write the press releases or pitches from scratch?
Our VAs focus on the logistics of pitching and distribution. While they can draft pitches and HARO responses based on bullet points or templates you provide, the high-level PR strategy and core narrative should remain with your internal team. They execute your strategy at scale.
Can they guarantee media placements?
No ethical PR professional can guarantee earned media placement. What our VAs *do* guarantee is meticulous execution of the outreach process—building highly targeted media lists, sending pitches accurately, and following up on schedule to maximize your chances of securing coverage.
Why hire through Sagedoer instead of a freelance platform?
Freelance platforms charge up to 40% in hidden fees and leave you with the burden of management. With Sagedoer, you pay a flat rate ($6-$7/hr). More importantly, you receive a free dedicated Project Manager who performs QA checks on pitch drafts, audits media lists, and ensures outreach schedules are strictly met.
How do they handle email outreach without it going to spam?
We work within your existing infrastructure. We recommend setting up a dedicated alias (e.g., `pr@yourdomain.com`) or utilizing tools like Pitchbox and Mailshake that you provide access to. The VA will adhere to best practices for sending limits and personalization to protect your domain reputation.
