Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Question

Answer

How does the Pitch Owner differ from the Relationship Owner?

The Pitch Owner field is meant for users who are responsible for pitching a contact within a specific Media List, whereas a Relationship Owner is considered the primary point of contact for a specific reporter regardless of the Media List or Pitch.

How do I know when I’m added as a Pitch Owner for a contact?

You will receive an email notification that shows how many contacts from a set of Media Lists you have been assigned to as the Pitch Owner.

Example:

Shows an example of a Pitch Owner email stating 'You were assigned as the new Pitch Owner for contacts in the following shared media lists'


(Select the image to view at full size)

Will a user receive 1 email per contact they are added to as an owner?

No, emails will go out in batches where we will group updates into notifications. This can include changes made to multiple Media Lists. (See example above)

Can users turn off email notifications when being added as a Pitch Owner?

No.

I'm trying to assign a Pitch Owner, but I only see my name as an option. Why?

If the visibility of the Media List is set to "Only Me" then you will be the only person listed as an option in the Pitch Owner dropdown. To view your full team under Pitch Owners, you will need to update the visibility settings to share with your team.
