PitchEngine: Fresh Out of Beta and Revving

[Jason Kintzler]

In a recent interview with Comet Branding Radio hosts Al Krueger and Sara Meaney, I was asked to reflect on what we've accomplished since our Alpha launch some months back. It's the first time I've really stopped and looked back since the engine turned over it's first Social Media Release and comes at a time when we're experiencing rocket paced growth both from a users count perspective and as a startup.

Thanks to incredible amounts of feedback from a legion of supporters, we've been bending and shaping our tools to accommodate the needs of a new type of PR, what Brian Solis coined, PR 2.0. Our users have begun to reach beyond the traditional PR mindset to engage in public relations the old fashioned way - with your brand's influencers (consumers, bloggers and journalists).

PitchEngine Diagnostics:

8,000 Brands (Here are just a few)
300,000 Visitors in May
33,000 SMR Views Record by STA Travel
4 Cool Case Studies
Lots of User Testimonials

I'm encourage by our rapid growth, and even more excited at what's in store. In the coming weeks, we'll be rolling out unprecedented tools and functionality designed to empower brands, PR pros and media alike. We've recently rolled out the first social news hub that enables brand's to integrate their social feeds from Twitter, Flickr, YouTube and PitchEngine into one place making it easy for consumers, journalists and bloggers to find them through the social web. Here's an example of the Hardee's Social Media Newsroom in action. These tools are just the beginning. We're intent on changing the routine, and stepping up your game to PR 2.0.

Thanks for your continued support. Know that we're listening to each and every one of you and can't wait to share with you what we've been working on!
