PRToolFinder Adds Ten New Tools to Innovative PR Tech Tools Database
Bi-annual update Reflects Market Trends and AI Innovations
August 20, 2024 – Martinez, CA – PRToolFinder.com , the only online database dedicated to organizing tools specifically created for, or commonly used by, public relations professionals, announces the inclusion of ten tools that offer new AI and productivity features. The addition of AI in PR tools represents a significant adoption of AI in PR technology and product development.
“Whether you’re a Public Relations Pro or one of the 7.5 million businesses operating in the US today, time is money,” said Gina Milani, PRToolFinder founder. “By eliminating the time wasted searching for tools online, PRToolfinder saves PR professionals valuable time and ensures they’re evaluating (apples to apples) all of the tools that may deliver a competitive edge.”
A 2023 survey by Econsultancy found that only 5% of marketers describe their technology stack as completely “fit for purpose” highlighting the ongoing challenge marketers face in finding and effectively utilizing the right tools. “The associated hidden costs in terms of productivity and total cost of ownership are hard to measure,” Milani continued, “But they’re very real and depend on whether you are evaluating a complete set of tool options.”
As the Public Relations industry continues to transform, so do the tools that serve the market. This release focuses on the additions made to the database, although some tools were removed or updated due to name changes or acquisitions. Tools added include:
- AccessWire: Named to PRDaily’s Hot Tech PR Tools -- added under the Newswires and Press Release Distribution and also the Media Suites category as it just launched its expanded suite of tools.
- Later.com: Added to Social Media Management Tools.
