Medianet has been a vital resource for our agency in navigating the dramatic changes in the Australian media landscape this year. The team have been wonderfully responsible and are always available when we need them, in local time.

Edwina Hanneysee
Founder and Director

As a fully remote team we need a media database platform that is responsive and collaborative, but still simple to use.

Medianet are particularly great at updating their network of contacts, and are incredibly responsive when we need support or have a question to ask. Our primary, most-used feature is by far the database, and the ability to make an unlimited number of lists which live on our account and can be shared across the team.

Lucy Clark
Publicity Director

Palin Communications’ experience using Medianet has been very good. The agency uses Medianet for media release distribution, sourcing media contacts, developing distribution lists, and highlighting events that may be of interest to media. The Palin team enjoys the UX/UI design, the platform is user friendly, and simple to navigate.

How is Medianet different from other PR software?

Our platform is backed by our strong relationship with Australian journalists and provides you with all the tools to connect with the media and optimise your PR strategy. Our in-house researchers are based in Sydney and Melbourne, they reach out to journalists directly, so when you sign up to Medianet, you’re getting so much more than tech.

We update contacts regularly by combining AI and human insights which not only lets us offer you unmatched accuracy but also extremely timely updates. Our latest spot check revealed an accuracy of 98.3% across our whole media database.

Medianet is the only Australian PR platform that doesn’t simply liaise with journalists – we work directly within the newsroom. We pitch stories daily to editors of all major media outlets meaning we have a unique influence in determining the national news agenda.

Medianet is the only Australia Media Intelligence platform that fully integrates Media Outreach, Media Monitoring and award-winning Media Analysis. Learn more here.
