The challenge

Hundred Stories, a boutique agency serving luxury real estate, hospitality, and lifestyle clients, previously used Cision but found the platform difficult to navigate and its support inadequate, which led the team to end the contract. Building media lists took several hours.

The solution

The agency moved to Muck Rack for journalist discovery, media-list building, and pitch analytics with built-in reporting.

I can create a whole media list in 20 minutes.
