The customisation when mass pitching and ease of use in updating fields > > **Cons**: Can be clunky when editing text in the box, errors and words jump around. When creating lists, you can mass add to lists, you need to go page by page, which if you forget to save, can take time > > Overall, it's been a game changer for media distribution and understanding the ever changing landscape of Ireland's media. I've had it a year and it's my favourite tool. ----- ### "Ireland's Leading Media Database" — 5.0/5 > **Karen** | *18 May 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use for creating and managing media list, making it quicker and more streamlined and easier to manage campaigns and press release distribution. > > **Cons**: No major cons, but sometimes I feel like I miss updates on the dashboard so would be good to be able to filter or be notified proactively of relevant changes in my industry area. > > Lovely team to work with, very helpful and ease of platform has made issuing and managing media much easier task and less adminstrative. ----- ### "Media HQ review - Abbey Theatre press office" — 4.0/5 > **Mia** | *12 March 2026* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The customer support is very fast and helpful, always ready to help on any queries I have no matter how big or small. I also like how varied the media contacts database is and that I have access to international news desks and journos as well as Irish ones. It makes building lists easy. > > **Cons**: The searchability on the media containers database is sometimes poor and glitchy. I.e. I will search a name in the search bar and it won’t show up immediately, but then I search it a different day or via the browser extension on an article the journalist has written and it’ll show up. Also, sometimes the formatting when drafting press releases is tricky especially when I copy over from Microsoft word or other docs. The fonts will appear differently or spacing is slightly off, etc. > > Overall very happy with the service\! Definitely room for improvement on a few technical things (see above) but based on the recent database training I received it seems MediaHQ are actively working on improving the service and ‘story cycle’ and are very receptive to feedback from users. ----- ### "Fantastic Service" — 5.0/5 > **Ryan** | *29 October 2025* | Public Relations & Communications | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use and update, the frequent updating of contacts who have left/joined organisations is hugely helpful\! Also, the ease of curating bespoke distribution lists has been hugely helpful and acts as a great offering for clients of IDA. > > **Cons**: Lists feature was initially difficult to navigate (adding someone from a private list while also adding a contact from the MediaHQ list), however after querying with your customer success team it was explained clearly. > > Very positive, incredibly easy to use with features that make the press release process much more efficient. Also very easy to edit/reschedule which is important in PR\! ----- ### "Easy to use, intuitive platfrom" — 5.0/5 > **Mel** | *20 April 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The platform is really easy to use and navigate. We mainly use it to schedule our press releases to send outside of our normal work hours, but the database of journalists etc has also been very useful. The analytics provided really help us with analysing our performance. The support team behind the scenes have always been super helpful too :) > > **Cons**: The only issue we've come across is that the notes made via one user account are not available to view when logged in to another user account. It hasn't caused us any major problems though ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/196943/mediahq?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/196943/mediahq) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
