Media Matchmaker is totally unique. It has been built as an interactive media platform for BOTH journalists and organisations. Journalists can search and send out targeted media requests, save lists, search for experts and so on, while recognised organisations can receive targeted media requests, direct messages and upload news alerts, allowing them to be reactive and proactive to the news stories within their sector. Journalists will be able to search for sounds bites and news videos that organisations can post with ease. With Media Matchmaker you only connect if your preferences match. This ensures that there is no spam or time-wasting on either side.
Most media services do not offer all of these options as part of an overall package. We believe that Media Matchmaker is the UK’s first interactive media platform with all these benefits.
If you are looking to raise your profile and continue to build credibility then this is one of the easiest, fastest and most cost-effective ways of achieving your goals. We are matching you with journalists direct, so you are in total control while giving you the best opportunity to secure ongoing publicity with targeted media that’s right for you.
No, not at all. You can easily set up your own profile and media preferences to ensure you only receive the type of publicity that is good for you and your organisation.

Journalists have changed how they want to receive news stories. The demand is to be more reactive to the news, which is great for you. We will show you how you can react to the daily news and send a news alert to your targeted media that you can help with an expert comment, case study or news story of your own.
Journalists will search for organisations and experts either by sector, location or keyword.
When you choose your media pass you will be able to add the right amount of sectors and keywords to highlight your expertise. Journalists will be able to message you directly to get in touch for help with articles, stories or expert comments.

Media Matchmaker is a free resource for journalists. The media is continuing to change at an alarming pace and how journalists search for content to produce and experts to back up their stories has changed too. On demand news stories means that having access to a dedicated media platform can deliver them targeted sources to help them get a news story live quickly.
We have been working with journalists from the conception of Media Matchmaker to going live and we have taken on board many of the features they have requested. This has included being able to search for diversity, location, sector, keywords and so much more. The feedback from journalists across all media platforms has been amazing and we literally had them calling us to ask when they could start actively using our service.
We are looking to expand Media Matchmaker outside of the UK and we are currently speaking to journalists and potential partners. If you would like to enquire about a licence to work with us in another country you can add your details here.
