Not every journalist you find during a search is someone you will want to pitch right away. Some contacts are worth keeping for future campaigns. Others might be perfect for a client you are onboarding next month, or for a story angle that is not quite ready yet. PitchResponse’s bookmarking feature lets you save those contacts so they do not get lost in search results you would otherwise have to reconstruct later.
How Bookmarking Works #
When you are viewing a journalist’s profile, you will see an option to favorite or bookmark that contact. Clicking it saves the journalist to your Bookmarks list, a dedicated space within your account where saved contacts are stored for easy retrieval.
Bookmarked journalists are saved at the account level, so you can return to them at any time without needing to rerun your original search.
Accessing Your Bookmarks #
Your saved journalists are accessible from within the Media Outreach section of the platform. From there you can review your saved contacts, click back into their profiles, and initiate outreach whenever the timing is right.
What to Know Right Now #
Currently, PitchResponse supports a single Bookmarks list. All saved journalists go into the same list regardless of topic, client, or campaign. The ability to organize contacts into multiple named lists is on the roadmap but not yet available.
In the meantime, here are a few practical ways to work within the current system:
- Be selective about what you bookmark. Since everything goes into one list, save contacts you have a genuine near-term use for rather than bookmarking speculatively.
- Use notes or tags features if available to add context to saved contacts so you remember why you saved them.
- Re-run targeted searches when you are building a specific campaign list. The search filters make it fast to resurface the right journalists when you need them.
As the platform evolves, list management features will expand. Keep an eye on the PitchResponse Roadmap for updates.
