Get featured on Robotics Media Outlets in 48 hours

Yes, a founder can do their own PR, but it's a trade-off. The DIY approach involves building media lists, finding journalists who cover robotics, and sending hundreds of personalized emails. It's free in terms of cash but extremely expensive in terms of founder time, with no guarantee of success. Most founders find their time is better spent on product and fundraising. A service like Mediaboost offers a middle ground. You control the message by writing the release (with help from our AI editor), but we handle the entire distribution and reporting process, guaranteeing placements for a one-time fee.

The cost varies widely based on the method. Doing it yourself is free but time-intensive with no guaranteed results. Hiring a traditional PR agency is the most expensive option, typically involving a monthly retainer of $5,000 to $15,000. Press release distribution services offer a more accessible alternative with one-time fees. These services package distribution to different networks of varying quality and size. Mediaboost provides clear, package-based pricing with guaranteed placements, so you know the exact cost and outcome upfront. You can view our current packages and pricing on our website.

With Mediaboost, publication is very fast. After you submit your press release and it passes our editorial review, publication on our media network begins. You can expect to see features appear on 350+ sites, including major outlets, within 24 to 48 hours. We deliver a full PDF report with live links to your coverage within three business days of the campaign starting. For packages that include startup directory submissions, those placements can take up to two weeks to be processed and go live, as they often involve manual review by the directory's staff.

Announcements tied to measurable business or technological achievements perform best. This includes securing a new funding round, launching a commercial product after successful trials, or signing a major enterprise client or manufacturing partner. Data-backed performance milestones are also highly effective. For example, announcing that your automation system has achieved a new level of efficiency, passed a critical safety certification, or completed a million operational hours in a live environment. These concrete facts are what journalists and search algorithms look for.

Editors reject releases that read like advertisements or lack a genuine news hook. To avoid this, write in a neutral, third-person tone. Your headline must state the news clearly and concisely. The first paragraph should summarize the who, what, when, where, and why. Most importantly, your release must be based on a real event, not just a desire for publicity. Announce a product launch, a partnership, a funding round, or new data. Avoid excessive jargon and buzzwords like "revolutionary" or "game-changing." Our editorial team reviews every release to ensure it meets publisher guidelines before submission, minimizing rejection risk.

Yes, absolutely. For both investors and enterprise buyers, purchasing or investing in new robotics technology involves significant risk. They actively look for external signals of credibility to mitigate that risk. Media coverage serves as powerful third-party validation. Seeing your company mentioned on trusted platforms like MarketWatch or Business Insider tells them you are a serious, vetted player. It's a due diligence checkbox. When they Google your name and find a portfolio of media placements, it builds confidence that you are not just another project that will disappear in six months. It's a key part of building trust before they even speak to you.
