Máté Koczka

Freelancer PR expert in Hungary

Many companies try to get into the media because it means prestige, increases awareness and generates sales in the long term. One of the best ways to do this is to create and send out a press release.

An average journalist, on the other hand, receives 100+ press releases per day by e-mail, and only a fraction of them end up in the news feeds.

I will help to get your press release picked up by journalists!

I have been dealing with PR consulting as a freelancer for more than 10 years, with thousands of online, print, TV and radio press appearances.

I will be there from the beginning to the end of managing the press release: developing the news, writing the text, distributing it to my own press list, lobbying and media monitoring.

What can you expect from me if we work together on your press release?



Honesty

Every area and topic is different. I will tell you what realistic chances we have with your announcement in the media before we make a deal. If necessary, I will help shape the concept of the press release with my advice until it is sure to be successful.



Live media relations

I think there is no Hungarian editorial office where at least one or two employees do not know my name. As a PR professional and as a private person, I find joy in building and nurturing relationships, which is really beneficial in the profession.



Professional copy

Without exception, my copywriting subcontractors are practicing journalists – just like I used to be. Our experience helps in developing the topics and preparing the texts that best fit the pages. We write 300+ press releases per year, mainly for SMEs.



Software background

I send out the press releases with the help of a software specially developed for this purpose, with a monthly fee, which enables the testing of the letters and the exact tracking of their statistics. I have several IT systems to help me with media monitoring, so we can easily find all online, print, TV and radio mentions.



Own press list

During my more than 13 years in the PR profession, I built a database containing the e-mail addresses of nearly 2,000 journalists and editors. I send the press releases to this own press list. In addition, I supplement the list each time with other professional and thematic media that best fit the topic.



Guarantee

There has never been a press release that I sent out that was not taken down by anyone in the media. That’s why I’m happy to offer a guarantee: if your announcement doesn’t appear in at least 5 media outlets, you don’t have to pay anything!

3 arguments for press release



It’s free

As a result of the press releases, the newspapers write about you “for free”, at least you will not receive an invoice from the publishers. For a fraction of the amount spent on paid ads and PR articles, you can get into the media in a guerilla fashion with our help. All it takes is a good story.



It’s authentic

News is much more authentic than advertisements. If they read about you in an article or see you in an interview, they are proven to believe you more than if you said the same thing in a paid advertisement. PR is able to build trust in your target audience, thereby helping you achieve your goals.



It builds your brand

One of the biggest benefits of PR is that it leaves a mark on people. Media exposure builds reputation. And reputation is trust in the company, which adds a huge emotional surplus to the evaluation of a product or service. The result is more and more interested people and customers.
