Web Startup PitchEngine to Launch Wednesday
Private Alpha Includes Free Social Media Release Builder for PR Pros
As promised, here are the details on our private alpha invite to PitchEngine. Until now, you’ve all known PitchEngine as a social network for PR pros and media, but it has also served as an incubator for change and a host for honest communications about the needs and wants of PR agencies, brands, and media members. That's why I wanted to share it here first, to those of you who are inspired to take the leap to new PR.
On Wednesday, July 30th, we'll put a new spin on PR as we launch some of the world's first social web apps for PR pros. No more word documents, no more clunky attachments, and no more one-way press releases. From here on out, it's about a more social form of media relations, thanks to some innovative new tools.
PitchEngine™ makes it possible for PR pros, brands, and agencies to build and share digital, social media releases with their contacts for free. The PitchEngine™ Social Media Release (SMR) takes the traditional press release to the next level, eliminating the need for antiquated email attachments, word documents, image CDs, and more. Invited users will be able to create custom media newsrooms to host their releases, giving them a centralized location for corporate assets like press releases, photos, logos, video and more.
We'll select PR pros from the current PitchEngine network (up to 350) and send out private alpha invite codes so users can begin testing and utilizing the new PR web app. You'll have early access to what I hope is the catalyst to mainstream adoption of these new tools. Use it and share it, after all that's what it's all about. The SMR builder is just the beginning.
PitchEngine is more than new tools for PR, it's an entirely new approach to craft. It's taking what we've learned from decades of traditional methods and stepping up our game to participate and succeed in a new media 'sphere - where the conversation is as important as the message. From the PitchEngine Network to the feedback from our users, we're listening and committed to connecting PR and media in new and innovative ways. It's not about distribution or tricks and tactics either. For us, it's about meeting the actual needs of PR and media worldwide.
To be considered for media access or to receive more information email me here or tweet me @pitchengine.

Good luck with your new site. Lots of potential.
Small suggestion: make the twitter section lower in visual priority on the home page and make a section that says what PitchEngine *is* higher.
