The Propel Media Barometer - Q2 2024
The Q2 2024 Propel Media Barometer has been released, and now you can have a copy of your very own! PR pros sent approximately 405,000 pitches through our platform in Q1 2024, and there was a whole lot to learn from the world of pitching. We’re excited to share the newest pitching metrics with you to find out how you can stand out in an ever changing media landscape.
One of the most exciting things we found was that, despite Q1 2024 being the worst quarter for media layoffs since the great recession of 2008, PR pros have been seeing the highest journalist response rates ever!
