About us
Press Loft makes PR Simple for 1500 brands in 20 countries with 26000 journalists, bloggers and social influencers. We automate PR, influencer marketing and, most recently, affiliate marketing. Founded by Nikki Snell in 2006 after needing a system to manage her clients' images for her PR Agency, Press Loft soon took off as a business in its own right. Simplifying the PR process between brands and the media is what we’re all about. Gone are the days where journalists have to request a high res image one-by-one. Housing all PR content in an online press room allows journalists to access everything they need to feature a brand in an instant and as a result increases their press coverage results significantly. Our clients not only save hours of time with automated image distribution and contact management, but having an online press room also broadens their media reach, removes foreign language barriers, and tracks all activity and results with detailed reporting. Over the last few years we have added media alerts, influencer collaborations, AI releases, AI image management and an affiliate network. We are continually investing in technology to make it easier for media to source products to feature and brands to get media coverage. In March 2024 we are officially launching in the US - contact us to get involved.

Struggling to get your product images noticed by the press? You’re not alone! Here’s why your PR images might be getting ignored—and how to fix them: ❌ Drop shadows are a no-go - They may look great for branding, but they make images harder to use in initial article layouts. Journalists prefer clean, simple visuals that fit seamlessly into their feature spreads. 💡 Bad lighting means little to no coverage - Harsh shadows or dull lighting will ensure your products arent looking their best. Soft, even lighting helps your products stand out and make an impact, increasing your chances of being featured. 📸 Angles matter - Front-facing shots are best for mood boards and product roundups. Angled shots often don’t fit media formats and will likely get passed over. 🤍 White backgrounds need to be pure white - Having any kind of grey or beige tint can make your cut-out image harder for journalists to use, and they don't have the time to waste editing them out. If you want to boost your chances of inclusion, ensure your background is a crisp, clean white - this is non-negotiable! 🌱 Seasonal styling = more press - One well-styled product can go a long way and help you land you more coverage with just a few tweaks. A bowl styled for Easter? A few adjustments to the props used and it'll be perfect for summer features too! If you’re wondering why some images get featured again and again—while others don’t—then our latest webinar is a must-watch. Head to the link in the comments to catch up and discover the insider tips you need to get your images the press coverage they deserve! #PR #PublicRelations #MediaCoverage #InThePress #Webinar

You’ve crafted the perfect pitch, found the right journalist, and sent it at the ideal time… but still no coverage? Your product images might be the problem.... So, how do you make sure your images are media-friendly? We crunched the data on 3.2 million images downloaded from Press Loft by our media network and compiled it all into a 20-minute webinar. Here are just a few of the tips I shared: ✅ No drop shadows – They look great for branding, but they make images harder to layer in moodboards (which are now heavily used by online media). ✅ Lighting makes or breaks an image – Heavy shadows or reflections can ruin your chances. Soft, even lighting gets far more pick-up. ✅ Front-facing angles work best – For moodboards and shopping guides, a straight-on view is preferred over angled shots ✅ White background really means white – Grey or beige-tinted backgrounds don’t work as well. If a journalist has to edit them, they probably won’t use them. ✅ Seasonal styling stretches your coverage – One well-styled product shot can work across multiple campaigns. A simple bowl can feature in both an Easter and summer spread with minor tweaks. ✅ Instant recognition is key – If a journalist has to guess what your product is, they’ll move on. A scarf should look like a scarf, not a throw! The same goes for bed linen—folded sheets can be misleading. ✅ AI images? Be transparent – Only 15% of journalists will use an AI generated image. If you’re using AI, always disclose it and offer a non-AI version too. These are just a few of the insights I shared in my 20-minute webinar—you can watch the full session here: Would love to hear your thoughts—what’s worked best for you when getting press coverage? #PR #ProductPhotography #MediaCoverage #PressSuccess #PublicRelations #PRTips #Pitching

Well that didn't last very long, did it? 🙄 So, after millions of users said what they thought might be their final goodbyes to their beloved app, TikTok was back up and running only a matter of hours after going dark - a move that gave a lot of people a weird sense of whiplash, but it wasn't entirely unexpected. On the brightside, at least nobody started spilling any embarrassing secrets about their account and content in the lead-up to the shut down that could come back to haunt them...right?...RIGHT? 😳 It'll be interesting to see what happens over the next 90 days now that the deadline has been extended, especially as there are already whispers of potential (Controversial) changes on the horizon 👀 #SocialMediaMarketing #TikTok #PR
Let’s talk TikTok—and what this potential US ban could really mean 😬 The Supreme Court has doubled down on its demand for a “sell or ban” resolution, leaving TikTok’s fate—and the livelihoods of countless creators and businesses—up in the air. With a potential shutdown looming on January 19th, we’ve got to consider what comes next if the app goes dark stateside. Here are a few things to keep in mind: 📱 It’s more than just an app For so many creators and small businesses, TikTok isn’t just a fun distraction—it’s a lifeline. Whether it’s a bakery finding customers through viral cake videos or a solo creator making a living by sharing glimpses of their world, TikTok opened doors that no other platform could. Losing it? That’s a major blow to income and visibility for an entire online community. 😵💫 A major cultural shift TikTok didn’t just change how we consume content—it flipped the script on how we connect. From viral challenges that united us to niche communities where everyone’s interests thrive, it’s hard to imagine anything else replicating that magic. TikTok made us rethink the way we engage with content. 🙃 A challenge for brands Let’s be real: TikTok’s algorithm was pure gold for brands. It didn’t just promote content; it made sure the right content reached the right audience. With the possibility of TikTok disappearing, brands intending to target US consumers are scrambling. While Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts might fill the gap, let’s face it—they’re not quite TikTok. 🌎 The bigger picture This ban raises some serious questions. Is it really about protecting user data, or is it part of a bigger geopolitical game? Plenty of apps collect similar data, but TikTok’s been singled out. The reasoning behind this move is as murky as ever, and it leaves many wondering what’s really going on. ✨ A surprising twist In the face of uncertainty, U.S. users are getting creative. There’s been a surge in Americans downloading Xiaohongshu (Red Note or Little Red Book)—where they’ve officially been dubbed by existing users as “TikTok refugees.” On top of that, Duolingo now reports a 216% spike in Americans learning Mandarin as a result - Talk about turning lemons into lemonade! As we’ve seen before (RIP Vine), the end of one platform often makes way for something new - But it’s never quite the same. Whether this ban happens or does end up getting postponed, brands need to stay flexible, be open to exploring new platforms, and focus on continuing to create genuine connections with their audiences on whatever app they may be. What’s your take? Are you preparing for a post-TikTok world or holding out hope for an extension?
