Why PR Agencys Lose Hours Every Week
PR agencies are measured on coverage, but a significant portion of agency time goes to monitoring coverage, compiling reports, and managing pitching logistics rather than building journalist relationships. Automation handles the operational layer so your team can focus on the craft.
Daily media monitoring across dozens of publications for multiple clients consumes 2-3 hours of junior staff time every morning
Monthly coverage reports require manually collecting links, screenshots, and metrics from scattered sources
Pitch tracking and follow-up across 50+ journalist contacts per campaign is managed in disconnected spreadsheets
New client onboarding media list building is entirely manual research that takes days per client
The PR Agency Automation System
Production-grade n8n workflows built specifically for pr agency businesses. Every workflow handles edge cases, retries on failure, and alerts you when something needs attention.
Automated Media Monitoring
n8n monitors Google Alerts, Mention, and Meltwater feeds for client brand mentions → categorizes by sentiment and outlet tier → delivers morning digest to account managers by 8am. Monitors 24/7; delivers once. Eliminates manual morning monitoring.

What media monitoring tools does the automation integrate with?
We integrate with Google Alerts, Mention, Meltwater, Cision, and Brandwatch. If you use a specific monitoring tool, we assess the API and build accordingly.

Yes — we integrate with HubSpot, Salesforce, Cision, Muck Rack, and most major PR CRM and outreach platforms. Pitch data flows from your existing tool into the follow-up automation.
