Here’s Your PitchEngine Mobile PR App

Dear PR pros: Are you interested in creating “stunning” content on the go with your smartphone or tablet? If so, we urge you to reconsider–typing on those tiny keypads is both annoying and notoriously inaccurate! Don’t even get us started on auto-correct…

That being said, if you’d simply like a shiny new tool to help you strategize and coordinate pitches and branded content projects more efficiently, then PitchEngine‘s new “automated PR mobile app” may well be of interest. After a September sneak preview, the company just released its newest invention on the impressionable world of public relations.

Founded in 2009, PitchEngine has one key selling point: Its platform’s ability to empower businesses, marketers and PR pros to create expansive web pages, or “social media releases”, in place of traditional pdfs and mass emails, thereby more effectively distributing content via all relevant messaging platforms. Now the company has released a new app tailoring that service to mobile users.

The given “sample pitch” isn’t too fancy–it’s a social media-enabled press release about a new Madonna statue at Madame Tussaud’s–but the accompanying demo video is short and, at the very least, interesting:

This short positions the new PitchEngine as a tool for businesses while implying that it could be just as useful for PR and marketing reps looking to promote their clients’ businesses. The older preview allows for a more in-depth look at the user interface:

What do we think? Do any PR pros use PitchEngine on a regular basis? If so, does the new app look like an expansion or improvement? If not, did these videos pique your interest?

*For an alternative pitch, here’s one hyping an art gallery show.
