AI+ PR Professionals

Shape Stories and Manage Reputation with AI

Twenty minutes to a holding statement. Years to build the relationship.

Your press releases are drafted, your pitches are sent — but you're spending half your week producing content and the other half producing reports, with almost no time for the relationships that actually win coverage. This book gives PR professionals the PRESS Protocol for embargo and data safety, 38 copy-ready prompts across media relations, content, crisis, reporting, and thought leadership, and a crisis preparation process that puts a holding statement on screen in under twenty minutes. Built by an AI engineering firm for PR professionals who know coverage comes from relationships — and want more time to build them.
