Using Muck Rack has honestly changed the way I handle media outreach, but it wasn't love at first click, it was more like surprised appreciation. At first, the dashboard felt a bit overwhelming, but once I started using it regularly, it became obvious how much it streamlined my workflow compared to the patchwork of spreadsheets and random lists I used before. Instead of guessing where journalists are active or what they care about, Muck Rack gave me actual signals, and that shifted my strategy from scattershot to targeted.
