Here’s what people are saying about Pitchcraft
Pitchcraft makes it really easy to develop a relationship and tailor pitches. I have a nearly 100% reply rate when I put "Pitchcraft" in the subject line.
I also spent the entire weekend watching almost all of the ecommerce videos you did this year, which were incredibly helpful. I honestly do not know what I would do without Pitchcraft.
My involvement and access to Pitchcraft has been worth every penny in this first year of my PR business. Pitchcraft has often acted as my eyes and ears In the national media landscape, helping me offer my clients more (and more thoughtful) exposure than otherwise possible!
I wanted to share a huge win with you that resulted from a connection made via Pitchcraft! I connected with Domino editor and it resulted in this story that was published on Friday. Yay!! Thanks for all that you do. I'm forever in awe of what you've created and do on a daily basis!!
I love being part of this community and feel so grateful to have these resources available. Thank you for all of your hard work to make PR more intentional and relationship-driven. Every piece of information is so valuable and I am ending the year as a stronger PR pro thanks to you.
It is genuinely so nice to be a part of such a thoughtful community that you’ve successfully built, and I am so proud to be a part of everything that you’re doing with Pitchcraft.
Our team finds this platform so incredibly beneficial, so we think it is worth adding another user so we can all continue to stay informed.
