Others

Outside the Newsroom

You email, hope and wait - with 1% reply rates and 97% of journalists deleting pitches on arrival.
Saturated with AI Fakes and Self-Proclaimed Experts

PR platforms are crowded with loosely vetted or AI-generated profiles, forcing you to compete with hundreds for the same opportunity — and making journalists more cautious and less likely to reach out.
Outbound, PR-Driven Model

Costly, time-consuming, and ineffective processes focusing on just 10% of the available media opportunities.
Relying on Someone Else’s Relationships

Your media exposure depends on someone else’s connections — not your own lasting relationships.
Expensive, Pay-to-Play Exposure

Traditional PR only works when you’re actively paying someone to pitch — and the moment you stop, the visibility disappears.

Experts on Rolli connect with journalists 3x faster than through traditional PR outreach.

Built by Journalists, Trusted by Newsrooms

At Rolli, we know what actually works — because we’ve been in the newsroom. Founded by journalists, our platform is built with a deep understanding of how reporters find sources, file on deadline, and rely on trusted systems. That’s why Rolli integrates directly into newsroom workflows, connects journalists with real, vetted experts, and eliminates the outdated inefficiencies of traditional PR.
