JournoRequests
Journo Request is the UK´s leading media request service that allows the business to reach for high profile journalists.
Journalists are put on their different categories depending on what they specialize in and business sends an email with the list of a journalist who can write about their business and their latest activities. Business gets a daily mail on working days at 3 pm UK time with all the new PR opportunities that the business can use.
The email looks something similar like this:
One of the huge advantages of JournoRequest is the fact that is a free service. JournoRequest also has the paid version which unlocks different features like for example getting emailed imminently after a new journalist has entered their profile and they are compatible with what the business is looking for. The service works with specific keywords or even hashtags through Twitter. 
  The paid version of JournoRequest is known as responsesource. Both of these services are mixed together so it is very easy to work with both (even though it is hard to understand at the beginning why there are two different companies depending on what tab you are in). Responsesource allows the business to get immediate emails and on the categories, they are interested when a new journalist writes that they are available in a twitter post.
  JournoRequests is a very useful tool, the free version is useful but I believe that is not enough for big enterprises. They should use the paid version, Responsesource since it keeps the business updated and makes the process a lot faster. Both of these tools are great for people living in the UK (both business and journalists) but not so great for people living somewhere else. 
Features:
Free service
Can see the latest requests from journalists
Segmented in Categories
  Free version
Daily mail with new entries from journalists
  Paid Version
In-depth journalist inquiries from national, regional, consumer and trade journalists.
Individual emails and digest options.
Filters and keyword highlighting
Requests are checked for spam by a human moderator
  Pros:
Easier to look for PR opportunities
You pick your journalist 
Great for UK area
  Cons:
Only for the UK area
Not very clear at the beginning how to use the service

Sprout - Social Media Management Tool
Sprout Social is a platform for managing and optimising brands and agencies of various sizes. The platform allows users a hub for social media publishing, engagement, and analytics across different social profiles
The platform works with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Pinterest
Sprout provides users with a tool for analytics, engagement, publishing, monitoring, and listening
It offers different plans that differ regarding the features available and price:
Main functions:
1.Messages
Users can monitor their messages and engage across all your social media accounts in one unified social inbox. It is easy to find and respond to the conversations because everything is in one place. Users can track keywords, locations, and hashtags that are related to your business.
There is an option to filter messages by social profile therefore if users want to see activity only from Twitter they can deselect other profiles to have a better overview of the tool. 
By completing the task, the message will disappear from your inbox and will be marked as completed, which helps you to keep your inbox organised. 
When working in teams you can add a task to someone else who can answer the message instead of you. 
When composing a message user can select exact time and date or auto-schedule posts with Sprout Queue. 
It is possible to add pictures, videos and see the preview of your post.
2. Tasks
The task bar is a tool used when users work in groups where they can exchange different tasks. Here group members can manage their workflow directly or share the responsibility to their coworkers. Task tool allows users to tackle the inbox as a team with live activity updates, custom tags, and filters. 
  3. Feeds
When using Feeds tool users can view and interact with posts of the followers, manage replies, publish content directly from Sprout to social media account and measure the performance of selected accounts. It allows users to stay connected to what is happening across their businesses because they are able to monitor their social media feeds directly from Sprout. It is useful to identify keyword-oriented content that users can include in their posts or a way to monitor brand/product names. Since I signed up for the Standard option it is was only available for Twitter and Instagram Business profile which I do not have.
  4. Publishing 
With Publishing tool users can easily plan, create, schedule and publish content across networks. It allows to post in real-time or plan ahead with robust scheduling and queuing tools.
With SproutQueue users can select exact times when they want their posts to be published and they can also select how many times per day they want their content to be published.  Next time they will write a post it will be published at the next selected time.
Find Content: by typing the keyword related to users’ business they can find conversations to join and people to engage with. 
5. Reports 
With Reports, users can easily track their brand’s performance across social channels and content. Therefore it allows them to improve their performance because they get access to valuable data and analytics. Performance is shown and measured by presenting number posts, audience and their engagement, publishing behaviour, impressions, the video performance of each of the social platform user owns.  
6. Listening 
By listening, users can track brand-relevant conversations. It allows brands to access unfiltered thoughts, feedback, and opinions from the outside world that concern critical topics for business. It helps users to efficiently track and measure the current results of their strategy and guide the actions in the future. 
  Pro’s
Able to connect to various social networks
Dashboard is well organised and clear 
Tasks tool is very useful for working in teams 
Analytics are very useful and well displayed 
Allows you to sign up for multiple profiles, departments and companies
Supports team environment with providing mutual calendar, tasks and drafts
  Con’s

What Is Hunter?

Connects to your email.
Divide’s emails by sectors of the company, allowing you to get in contact with anyone.

  3. Verify: Helps you verify if the email is reliable or not. It bases this off of algorithms and sources from outside. 
  4. Bulk Finder: This option allows you to do similar things, but in bulk. This is very useful for company’s, for looking amongst many names. Furthermore, when wanting to share an email to many people, this comes in handy. 
5. Leads: This addition lets you save all leads. You can search through them with filters, depending on the company, position, website or even industry. 
  6. Campaigns: This is a very useful part of the platform. It is very good for PR and Communications. Furthermore, it helps with organization within a company, and will remind you of any upcoming emails that needed to be sent.

  The application is very useful for big organizations. Furthermore, when having trouble contacting someone of great importance towards your task, it helps a lot. It provides countless numbers of emails in every different sector of thousands of companies. It is clear in stating what this employee works as, and where. Furthermore, I found the organization of the platform key. It makes sending important emails very easy if you set them beforehand. 
  Pros: 
  Good for communicating with others. 
Easy to find new jobs, and communicate with different people from unknown sectors of your company. 
Good for journalists to research.

Allows you to create different dashboards for different users.

  Personal Review
This summer, I did an internship in a publicity agency called BBDO. BBDO Guatemala manages various well known businesses (like Tortrix, Doribal Guatemala, Camino Real, Lays Guatemala, Pollo Campero and Amphora). Working there for a month, made me understand how important Social Listening is. It is the base of any campaign's success. Brandwatch was easy to use, and a reliable source for the daily reports I had to turn in. I got to understand how any product or service  was mentioned, and in what context. This helped me present the clients report to the creative team that created their campaign and visuals based on my daily reports.

Klear, the world’s biggest influencer database.
This is the platform where the most important influencers are, and where you can achieve the best results for your company. It provides the user with a very wide range of options, especially when it comes to choosing the influencers. However, this service is not cheap. The prices, which will be discussed later, show that it is an expensive service. Therefore, it is not made for small companies. The ones who can afford it, will get great service tho. 
  Find
Klear is the world’s most extensive platform when it comes to influencers. This is across all social media such as instagram, Facebook, twitter, YouTube, and even Tik Tok. The search method is concrete and specific. It is easy to find the influencers that fit your goal best. 
Analyze
When it comes to influencers, demographics are very important. The analysis option that we have here allows us to see everything about the influencer that we want to work with. It shows the number of posts they have, the likes, the reach, and the comments. The total number of fans and information about the audience. This also provides a score, by which we know the experience others have had with this influencer. 
  Manage
Communication is essential, and the easier to get in touch with the influencer, the better. Klear has a similar service to DM, where the user can connect with the influencers. Campaigns can be organised, and based on that we can organise the DM. We can track the campaign and see its demographics. 
  Measure 
Once we choose an influencer, then we can start tracking. We can see every post they made, and in which social media. The number the post got, from likes, to comments and shares. 
Pricing
Free
Demo monitors
Limited Influencer Searches
Limited Social Profiles
Basic – $249/month
50 social profiles per month
Basic influencer search
Basic Quota
PDF Reports
5 monitors
50 influencers in list
Advanced – by quote
More than 50 monitors

Very cost effective
Offers support and PR assistance with professionals 
Easy to use and offers a lot of video tutorials 
Cons:
You have to request a demo of the site → only available Monday, Wednesday and Friday during specific hours
This makes it hard to decide if you would want to purchase this or not since they do not offer a trial version. 
                    Personal Experience:
 My personal experience with PRinaBox was overall a very positive one. However, since the demos were difficult to set up and you would have to purchase a package in order to “enter” the site, I am basing my opinion on what I was able to find. Their video tutorials and explanations for everything that they provided were very easy to use, and from what I can tell this platform seems to be perfect for a startup or small business or brand.

Unbounce: the intuitive and attractive software to create the perfect website and raise conversions!
Unbounce helps users and companies design appealing landing pages, pop ups and sticky bars to draw attention over websites and ultimately increase their conversion rates. It is used by many popular companies such as New Balance.
The platform is designed to keep everything organize so you have the option to create folders with projects or even sub accounts for specific clients
  What can Unbounce bring to you?
• Pages, Pop Ups and Sticky Bars, AMPs: 
it allows users to create interesting landing pages and pop ups without a developer. It has a very intuitive platform in which you can design websites for computers and mobiles. There is no need to code, the user only needs to drag the feature he wants and choose the aesthetics, Moreover, it has a huge variety of templates to inspire and help through the process of composing and designing. Afterwards, the software helps you to choose the most inappropriate and effective keywords. There is the possibility to ask for help 24/7 online or hire an assistant to help. Later on, here you can check the metrics of the performance. There is the possibility to do A/B testing to improve or choose how you want it to work (when it gets triggered, when it can show up, to whom, how, etc)
Studio where to craft landing pages, pop ups, etc and example of how intuitive it is: everything works just by dragging.
Performance metrics and design of page traffic mode
  • Integration: 
Unbounce allows you to connect the software with many apps and tools, from programs like Excel to other PR tools, to make the best use of it and allow you to have all in one.
   • Labs: 
They upload original updates that anyone can add to their proyects and that might be interesting to keep costumers entertained when visiting your page. 
  Current Lab available update
  What are the different plans and their pricing?
  There are three plans that can that can be monthy or annually, in which you save 20% of the price. 
• The “Essential” is interesting for start ups or companies that are not so focused ontheir online presence, but as soon as it starts growing and launching more services and products or it is used for a long term of time, it starts becoming a bit limited. 
• The next option is the“premium,” which gives you more amount of landing pages and others, as well as more options when it comes to editing and having clients. 
• Finally, the “Enterprise” plan, which is aimed for big companies and multinationals and allows them to make almost an infinite use of it. To access this plan or a trial, it has to be requested in advance and accepted.
• Also, there is a 14-day free trial that allows you to try any of the plans but that makes you insert your credit card from the beginning in order to access. Unbounce really insists that is very easy to cancel and explains how to do it since the beginning.
  My experience 
- The most interesting part of this software is its intuitiveness and efficiency. It allows to create meaningful and aesthetical content in a matter of seconds, even if you are not keen at designing, composing or even matching colors. It always uses high quality images and colors that make the experience more appealing to the target. Also, it´s very interesting how it helps you to improve and gives you opinions and feedback. 
- However, I found it very similar to some of Google’s tools such as google analytics and google ads, although here it is all put together into one, it's more didactic and easier to understand. In whichever case, Google Ads/Analytics are more developed and exact when it comes to measuring traffic, conversion rates, etc so I would try to use both of them together. They might seem competitors but I believe they can complement each other well.
- I found very nice that they are all about the user and making their experience easy and fulfilling, you can see results immediately so it motivates more. They offer constant help and are nice and they are present in social media, contributing with interesting videos and interviews that are somehow related to the field. If interested check: https://www.youtube.com/user/UnbounceVideos/videos and https://twitter.com/unbounce?s=20 . Their website is also very self-explanatory so before creating an account you are able to know what will you find and how to make use of it  (https://unbounce.com/ )
Unbounce makes a difference because its keen on conversions and thanks to their design and expertise we can improve. If interested in this matter, take a look at this video they uploaded givng tips

SQUARESPACE: Create and Publish any Website in the easiest way possible.
What is Squarespace?
The Idea behind Squarespace is simple, easily build and manage an elegant website without any coding.
You build a website by using the Squarespace templates and editor. You pick a template that suits your business/website, click on the bits of design or layout you want to change, and then adjust them to your preference, click on the background and change the image or color, you can add text, change the text typeface, and so on
  Squarespace is a product that is designed for those who don’t want to tinker with their website too much, and quickly create and publish a website without any hassle.
Pricing in Squarespace
The available plans are as follows:
Personal - €15  euros per month
Business -  €26 euros per month
Basic Commerce - €28  per month
Advanced Commerce - €42  euros per month
If you pay upfront for a year, then the costs for the plans are cheaper averaging at  €11, €17, €24, €36.
The key difference between each plan is added features such as E-commerce, full analytics, and SEO features.
*Each website requires a subscription plan, so if you have two different websites you have to choose and pay a plan for both* 
 Important features of Squarespace.
Domain
As soon as you purchase a plan Squarespace provides you with a free domain. If you want a specific custom domain you can either buy it on Squarespace or buy it online and connect it with Squarespace with a click of a button.
  E-commerce features.
Except for the personal Squarespace plan, all the other plans allow you to sell unlimited products and accept donations via your site, but the use and the functionality of e-commerce depend on the plan you choose.
If you have a business plan then Squarespace takes a 3% commission for every purchase, if you have the commerce plan there is no commission. Abandon cart recovery, gift cards, or real-time shipping are extra features that the “Advanced Commerce” plan has.
Third-party integrations.
If you have a business plan and upward, you can easily integrate with third-party programs and applications, such as selling products on Amazon, Etsy, eBay, etc.
Selling and creating merchandise easily with Printful (Print on Demand Merchandise) etc
 SEO (Search engine optimization) and Google Keywords.
Squarespace easily lets you manage your site analytics, every plan has basic features, you can add and bid on Google Keywords, tweak every page SEO so it has more visibility on google, track your sales and traffic, see where your customers are coming from, etc.
Pros and Cons of Squarespace
Pros
Create a website in minutes 
Beautiful and elegant Templates make your website look professional
Publish your site with a Domain
E-commerce features start selling products instantly
Analytics and SEO (Everything on one platform)
Positive Support Team
Edit your website on the go (With the Squarespace app you can edit your website from your phone)
Cons
Too many buttons and features (Takes time to get used to it)
Cant tinker too much with Website (You have to stick to defaults)
A larger website with too many menus (Its impossible to create a website with too many features and menus)
Competitors 
Two main competitors of Squarespace are Wordpress and Wix
Wordpress is mainly for coders who have used Html and want to make a specific site with extra customizable features
Wix, on the other hand, is easier to use than WordPress but is not as elegant and simple as Squarespace if you want to tinker and edit your site a lot and have deep ended features Wix is for you.
Whereas Squarespace is for anyone who hasn’t build a website or want's to build a beautiful, elegant and quick website.
