pich⋅ing mon⋅key [pĭch-ing muhng-kee] noun, plural -keys,

An intelligent primate specializing in pitching news stories and interviews to broadcast and print media.

Our teams of media placement specialists are highly experienced – they’ve seen and pitched it all – from the fun and fabulous to the challenging and complex.

We have proven track records and strong established relationships with key decision-makers at national morning shows, local TV newscasts, and national and local radio shows as well as magazines, newspapers and websites.

Not only that, our placements come in two desirable flavors: English and Spanish!

If that means booking your spokesperson on just one national morning show or on a couple of local broadcast interviews or for a full day deskside media tour, our freelance pitching monkeys are ready to help you generate meaningful results.

We also book satellite media tours and radio media tours, and when we say we can deliver top markets, that doesn’t mean the lower portion of the top 200. We also create and distribute radio news releases, and they come with guaranteed quality airings.

And that’s not all. Pitching monkeys are talented writers. We craft press-releases that highlight the most newsworthy and eye-catching angles, radio scripts that get RNR’s aired and key messages that put spokespeople in control of media interviews.

Did we mention we do all this in English and Spanish?

What Makes Us Different?
Experience. There’s probably no type of story we haven’t pitched.

We’ve worked for decades in the business, pitching everything from multi-tiered multi-million dollar campaigns, to boutique campaigns for hyper-local media. And because we’re cageless, free agent monkeys, we’ve probably worked on a greater number and variety of campaigns than the average media pro. Some of us worked in news. Some in PR. Some in Media Relations. All that pitching savvy is at your fingertips.

Surely With So Much Experience, Fees Will Cost A Lot of Bananas?
Actually, no. We’re all cageless, free agent monkeys. We don’t have overhead, so there’s no monkey business just media results.

Do We Offer Other Services?
Yes. While we’re primarily Pitching Monkeys, we’re also cageless monkeys and have experience wearing many hats. Some of us can produce SMTs. Some of us can produce, edit and distribute RNRs. Some of us can do media-training. Some of us are bilingual. Tell us what you need. Chances are, if we can’t help you, we know someone who can.

Literally, no. Figuratively, yes! We are proud low-emitting, carbon-neutral, recycling Pitching Monkeys!
By not commuting to offices we reduce our emissions. The core team at Pitching Monkeys off-sets the carbon foot-print of our home offices through Carbonfun.org, we buy low-energy light-bulbs, turn-off and unplug our computers when not in use, we buy recycled paper, print on both sides and recycle that too. A portion of our proceeds are also donated annually to non-profits dedicated to preserving primates, such as the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, gorillafund.org.

We have some of the best bilingual native-tongue Latino Pitchers in the media. They have long established connections with top decision makers and producers at national regional and local spanish language TV, radio and print. Some have been in the business for decades. Others are freelance producers for local Spanish TV and radio affiliates.

¿Why En Español?
There are currently more Hispanics in the US, than Canadians living in Canada! That makes US hispanics the  9th largest economy in the world. And they’re growing-they’re the fastest growing segment of the US population. So if you’re not thinking spanish language campaign now, you’ll be catching up with everyone else later! ¡ay!

¿But will my campaign work en Español?
Ask us! Some stories will work just fine. Others may need different angles to make them culturally relevant and meaningful. We’ll provide you with easy-to-understand insight, experience and research and help you craft a compelling campaign.
