The "Lead Drought" Problem
Manual outreach in PR firms drains your team's strategic expertise on unqualified prospects, such as low-relevance brands without recent media mentions
Fragmented data from press releases, media wires, and industry events leads to missed opportunities for timely PR interventions
Generic tools ignore PR-specific signals like media coverage relevance, sentiment analysis, and executive visibility scores
Client relationship nurturing in consulting stalls due to scattered lead information across CRM systems and media monitoring tools
Scaling PR campaigns without custom insights into media trends results in low ROI pitches to mismatched corporate clients
Competitors poach your PR targets because your leads aren't enriched with industry context like regulatory compliance risks or brand crisis history

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were chasing shadows in the media landscape—endless LinkedIn scrolls for brands needing crisis support after negative coverage. Their custom system now pulls in leads from PR Newswire and Business Wire with full context, like a tech firm's recent data breach scandal. In three months, we've closed two major six-month retainers we wouldn't have found otherwise, adding $150K to our annual pipeline."
Sarah Jenkins
Managing Director, Horizon Public Relations Group
"Generic lead gen tools just dumped lists on us, ignoring our focus on consumer brands with emerging digital footprints. AIQ built something that scans event calendars like NRF Retail Show and news alerts for perfect matches on influencer campaigns. Last quarter, it identified a partnership opportunity with a rising e-commerce player facing brand repositioning needs, leading to our biggest six-figure digital PR campaign yet—honestly, it's like having an extra media analyst on staff."
Michael Torres
Senior Partner, Vanguard Strategic Communications
"We struggled with lead quality after a big agency merger flooded our inboxes with noise from unrelated sectors. The AIQ solution integrates with our Salesforce CRM to prioritize prospects based on past media wins and executive thought leadership profiles. It's delivered 15 solid leads in the first two months, including one that turned into a six-figure influencer marketing project for a fintech client—no more guesswork in our business development."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI identify leads specific to PR firms?
Our custom AI engine is trained on PR-centric data sources, such as press release databases, industry event calendars, and news aggregators. It scans for signals like companies issuing RFPs for reputation management or launching products needing media buzz. Unlike generic tools, we tailor the algorithms to your niche—say, focusing on tech brands or non-profits—and enrich leads with context like recent controversies or executive hires. This results in a pipeline of prospects 4x more aligned with your services, based on benchmarks from similar firms we've partnered with. We start by auditing your past wins to fine-tune the model, ensuring relevance from day one.
What makes this different from off-the-shelf lead gen software?
Off-the-shelf options rely on broad databases that overlook PR's unique needs, like tying leads to media cycles or client trust factors. We build a bespoke system owned by your firm, integrating directly with your workflow to avoid data silos. For instance, it can pull in a prospect's social sentiment score alongside contact info, something generic tools can't customize. Our clients see 35% higher conversion rates because it's flexible—adjustable for seasonal campaigns or sector shifts—without monthly fees eating into margins. It's like crafting a custom media monitoring tool fused with lead gen, not just another subscription add-on.
How long does it take to see results from implementation?
Most PR firms notice initial leads within 4-6 weeks post-launch, with full optimization by month three. We accelerate this by deploying a minimum viable engine first, sourcing from your specified channels while we refine deeper integrations. One client, a mid-sized agency, generated 20 qualified leads in the first month, leading to two pitches. Factors like your data readiness influence speed, but our proven track record—averaging 2x pipeline growth in the first quarter—ensures quick wins. We include weekly check-ins to iterate based on your feedback, keeping momentum high.
Is the system secure for handling sensitive client data?
Absolutely, security is paramount in PR where confidentiality drives client relationships. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with GDPR and CCPA standards, building the system with your data sovereignty in mind—no third-party cloud dependencies unless you specify. Access controls limit who sees enriched lead details, and all scraping adheres to ethical guidelines to avoid legal pitfalls. In regulated scenarios, like working with public companies, we've incorporated audit trails for every data touchpoint. Our own platforms, like RecoverlyAI, handle sensitive interactions daily, proving our commitment to robust, compliant architectures that protect your firm's reputation.
Can this integrate with our existing PR management tools?
Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations with tools like Meltwater for media monitoring or your CRM for relationship tracking. The AI pulls in data from these systems to contextualize leads—e.g., cross-referencing a prospect's news mentions with your past campaigns—then pushes scored opportunities back automatically. No more manual exports; it's a seamless fabric. For a recent PR partner, we connected it to Asana for campaign alignment, reducing setup time by 50%. If your stack includes custom tools, our engineers map them precisely during discovery, ensuring the solution enhances, not disrupts, your operations.
What ongoing support do you provide after launch?
Post-launch, you get dedicated support including monthly performance reviews and AI retraining to adapt to evolving PR trends, like AI-generated content shifts. Our team monitors for accuracy, tweaking models based on your conversion data—ensuring leads stay fresh and relevant. Unlimited email support and quarterly strategy sessions are standard, with optional managed services for scaling. Clients appreciate this because it turns the system into a growing asset; one firm used our insights to pivot toward sustainability-focused brands, doubling their niche leads. We're builders, so we stick around to optimize, not just hand off a product.
