Read the guidePR is a deadline business built on words, and that's where Claude helps most: drafting the press release, tailoring the pitch to each reporter's beat, writing three versions of a holding statement while a situation is still developing, and prepping a spokesperson with likely questions and tight answers. It's genuinely fast at the reformatting and volume work — one announcement into a release, a blog post, a LinkedIn post, and five personalized pitches, all on-message. But keep two things in mind. Claude doesn't know your reporters, your relationships, or what's actually newsworthy to a given desk, so it drafts pitches, it doesn't do the targeting — that judgment is yours. And it will invent quotes, stats, and 'facts' that read as real, which is a genuine risk in a release or a crisis statement: every attributed quote must be approved by the person, and every factual claim verified, before anything goes to a journalist. Used for the drafting and the drudgery — with your judgment on strategy and accuracy — it buys back real time under deadline.
Safe, interpretable AI built for long-context analysis. Claude excels at Technical analysis, Long-form content, Complex reasoning making it particularly effective for the work covered on this page.

Specific, copy-paste-ready prompts for real pr specialist work, each with a note on what Claude hands back. Swap in your own details and send.
Draft a press release for [announcement]. Standard structure: dateline, strong headline, subhead, an inverted-pyramid lede, two body paragraphs, and a boilerplate. Use ONLY the facts I give you and leave [QUOTE — pending approval] and [STAT — verify] placeholders where a quote or number should go rather than inventing them. Facts: [paste].
What to expect back
A clean, on-format release built strictly from your facts, with quotes and stats flagged for approval instead of fabricated.
Write 4 personalized pitch emails for this story, one each for a [tech reporter, business reporter, trade-pub editor, and local-news reporter]. Same core news, but lead with the angle that fits each beat, keep every email under 120 words, and make the subject lines specific — no 'exciting announcement.' Story details: [paste].
What to expect back
Four beat-tailored pitches you can personalize with the reporter's name and recent work — the volume drafting done in one pass.
A situation is developing: [describe, high level]. Draft three holding statements — cautious/minimal, moderate, and fuller — that acknowledge, show we're taking it seriously, and commit to an update, without admitting fault or stating facts we haven't confirmed. Flag any line legal should review. This is a starting point for our team, not for release.
What to expect back
A tiered set of holding statements to react from fast — internal drafts your comms lead and legal shape before anything is public.
Prep our spokesperson for a [interview/press conference] on [topic]. Give me the 10 toughest questions a skeptical reporter would ask, 3 core messages to bridge back to, and a 2-line answer for each hard question. Keep answers honest and non-defensive. Context: [paste approved facts].
What to expect back
A practical media-prep sheet — likely questions, bridging messages, and tight answers to rehearse before going on the record.
