About RunPR

Built by the people
who do the work.

RunPR is PR workflow software for agencies, in-house teams and independent consultants. It connects story research, journalist discovery, pitch drafting, sending and reporting, with people making the editorial decisions.

Why we built RunPR

Good PR takes judgment.
The busywork shouldn’t take over.

Jeff Weisbein and Matt Pressberg built RunPR from their own PR workflow: understanding a client, finding a relevant story, researching the right reporter and deciding what was worth pitching.

The goal was to keep that work connected. Research should inform the draft. Feedback should help shape the next move. And reporting should explain what happened, with evidence behind it.

Software can do more of the preparation. It should leave the judgment, relationships and final say with the people doing the work.

The team behind RunPR

A builder’s perspective.
An editor’s instincts.

Co-founder

Jeff Weisbein

Jeff founded BestTechie in 2003, building a technology publication around the people and companies shaping the industry. His work spans publishing, software and PR, including founding Hype Lab and working with Matt to help companies tell their stories.

That combination shapes RunPR’s product approach: turn the work a communications team actually does into useful software, without losing the context that makes a pitch relevant.

Co-founder

Matt Pressberg

Matt is a PR strategist and former managing editor of the Los Angeles Business Journal. He also reported on technology, media and business at The Information, TheWrap and International Business Times.

His newsroom experience informs RunPR’s approach to pitch quality: sourced facts, a reason the story matters to a reporter’s readers and framing that offers an angle rather than dictating the story.

What makes RunPR different

Help your team decide what to pitch next.

Writing an email is one step. RunPR connects the client context, research and feedback that make the next decision better informed.

Start with the client, not a blank prompt

Client facts, expertise and writing samples give research and drafts a starting point. Your team can assess an angle against what the client actually knows and has to say.

Keep the reasoning with the pitch

The source story, reporter research, draft and review belong together. Your team can see why an opportunity surfaced and decide whether it deserves a conversation.

Carry context into the next decision

Story-fit feedback, sent pitches and captured replies help your team decide what to do next. Monthly reports bring the work and supporting evidence into one client-facing report.

What RunPR does

From the first story idea
to the client report.

Research relevant stories and reporters, draft from client expertise, review and send from your domain, then track outreach and source-supported coverage. AI Visibility adds a view of how AI-generated answers describe a brand and which sources they cite.

Frequently asked questions

01Is RunPR software or a PR agency?
RunPR is software your team can use directly. Multiply is an optional managed service from Embargo Industries for teams that want help with strategy, pitch preparation, review and approved sending.
02Who decides what gets sent?
Your team makes the editorial decisions. RunPR prepares research and drafts for review; approval and sending are separate unless you explicitly configure an approved sending workflow.
03Can we send from our own domain?
Yes. Connect and verify your sending domain in RunPR before sending. Delivery, recorded opens and bounces stay connected to the pitch; recorded opens are signals, not proof of a human read.
04How do we get started?
Start with a client website or brief, then review the client context and research. Set up the client voice, monitoring, sender and approval preferences before moving into pitch preparation and sending.
05Does RunPR guarantee coverage or AI recommendations?
No. Journalists decide what to cover, and AI services decide which sources to use. RunPR helps you research opportunities, prepare outreach and examine recorded results without promising placement or rankings.
