  "account": "1. Medialister - This platform caters to agencies and enterprise teams that run ongoing brand and product awareness campaigns in various markets. It offers tailored filters and pre-made media selections for this goal, along with audience and traffic data from SimilarWeb, Ahrefs, and Semrush for each outlet. A distinctive feature is an MCP server that links directly to AI chatbots like Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, allowing marketers to easily assemble outlets for an awareness goal and score them against chosen criteria. Agreements can be made without immediate payment, and there's an optional guarantee that keeps the placement live for a year.\n\n2. PRNEWS.IO - Primarily used by PR and marketing agencies for buying and managing paid media placements across nearly 175 countries, this platform suits those needing international reach. A single outlet often offers multiple formats, enabling brands to introduce themselves with a press release and revisit the same readers with interviews or thought-leadership pieces later. Content writing, translation, and a guarantee of at least a year's placement can all be added during checkout. Ready-made media selections are available for various marketing goals, and missing outlets can be added upon request. A PRO subscription includes agency tools such as a monthly media plan with a strategy consultation, a one-click CSV export of the catalog with prices, custom selections per project, and the ability to blacklist hundreds of domains. Outlets that allow tracking pixels can be filtered for audience reach measurement with own analytics.\n\n3. Publisuites - A Spanish marketplace linking brands and agencies with digital news outlets, trade media, and specialist blogs, Publisuites is owned by the Spanish media group Prensa Ibérica. This makes it a natural choice for awareness campaigns in Spain, Latin America, and other Spanish-speaking markets. Users can filter outlets by language, traffic, and presence in Google News and Discover, two surfaces where new readers first encounter a brand. Press release distribution is available in fixed packages covering 25 to 65 media outlets, with at least 80% of promised placements guaranteed. Brands can opt for a managed service starting at €200 a month, where a team picks outlets, coordinates writing through a network of over 6,000 authors, and runs the campaign. Catalog includes 20,000+ media outlets and blogs, with formats including sponsored articles and press releases.\n\n4. Backlinked - Focused on the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland), Backlinked is both a marketplace and agency. While its primary market is the DACH region, its catalog also extends to other regions. Brands and agencies can find media placements on outlets across these countries. The platform operates similarly to other awareness-focused platforms, offering tailored filters and pre-made media selections for brand and product awareness goals. Users can also access press release distribution, managed services for writing and outreach, and analytics tools for tracking audience reach.",
