Timing is everything in PR — a pitch sent to the wrong journalist on the wrong day disappears. Taskade Genesis gives communications professionals a live workspace where AI agents write personalized pitches, track every journalist relationship, and remind the team to follow up before a story window closes.
What Is a PR and Media Outreach Calendar Template?
A PR outreach calendar maps every planned press release, exclusive pitch, media interview, and story follow-up to specific dates and journalists — so your communications team always knows what's going out, to whom, and when to expect a response.
Why Use a PR and Media Outreach Calendar Template?
PR teams with a structured outreach calendar land 2× more media placements per campaign than those pitching reactively.
