Testimonials Journalists
“As a journalist writing across nationals like the Guardian and Telegraph and for magazines, I'm often looking for interviewees to speak to on a range of topics, from healthcare, education, tech, human interest and more. Press Plugs has been a really helpful way to connect with people and find interviewees. They are very quick at picking up on my requests and share my call outs immediately. I've spoken to a number of people through the service. They are a trusted source for journalists and act as a helpful bridge between journalists and other professionals.”

“I have been using Press Plugs for the last couple of years and it has become an incredibly helpful tool for sourcing the perfect case studies and expertise for my features in women's magazines. PressPlugs are my go-to when I need to find a spokesperson or a case study and I have a tight deadline to meet. I would fully recommend their service to any journalist and to any press team trying to reach out to journalists and secure coverage for a brand or story.”
“The Press Plugs service has been a lifesaver when I have been on tight deadlines for both trade press articles and national newspaper articles. I have been using the service for several years now. All I need to do is issue a request via Twitter, and I get almost an immediate response from industry spokespeople, PR and marketing professionals on the topic I am writing about. I always meet my deadline with the Press Plugs service. My editors are happy! I thoroughly recommend Andrea and the team.”

“I came to know Tracy through Press Plugs. Recently, I started using Twitter to gather leads for interviews. That is when I came across PressPlugs and it has really made my life easier! Tracy and her team are prompt at sharing my requests (mostly with short deadlines) and I have often got reliable contacts or links through them, that have been perfect for my diverse range of stories. I would definitely recommend other journalists to use PressPlugs!”
“As a freelance journalist, Press Plugs has proved incredibly helpful in finding case studies as well as expert input. As someone who works autonomously and has no immediate network to reach out to, being able to post my requests is invaluable. They go live almost immediately - a fact that is confirmed with great efficiency - and it allows my request to be viewed by a range of individuals and organisations I would never normally be in contact with. During the last year it has been particularly helpful. Personally, securing case studies is the most pivotal part of creating features and Press Plugs have helped me enormously in finding suitable individuals.”
“Tracy is absolutely lovely to communicate with and PressPlugs has been super helpful to me in finding quotes and commentators on multiple occasions. All interactions I have ever had with PressPlugs have been professional, friendly and polite and they have access to a strong network of contacts across various industries, I certainly intend to seek Tracy's help in the future. Thanks!”
I use PressPlugs regularly because it's a quick and easy way to get comments for my features from outside my usual network of contacts. There may be times when I'm writing about something outside my comfort zone and I don't know anyone who is an expert in that topic. Or I might be looking for some fresh voices to give a topic I cover all the time a new twist. That's where PressPlugs comes in. It takes the legwork out of making new contacts and has put me in touch with great people I'd never have come across.
"PressPlugs is an excellent service for journalists and a valuable tool when tight deadlines are looming. Its rich stream of quality experts takes the stress out of gathering exclusive comment and quotes"
