EMOS Platform · Do it yourself

Find the story. Pitch the right journalist. Keep the proof.

EMOS turns the earned media method I have used on client accounts since 2013 into five connected tools. Start with your company brief, and every step after it knows who you are, what you have saved and who you have already pitched.

Every step hands its work to the next.

Earned media done by hand breaks in the gaps. The story idea lives in one tab, the journalist list in a spreadsheet, the pitch in your drafts folder. EMOS closes the gaps.

§ 02The difference

Try each EMOS tool free. Run them together on the Platform.

SignalIQ, JournoCollabIQ, PressIQ and CoverageIQ each have a free version on this site. Each one answers one question at a time and saves nothing. The Platform connects all six steps and keeps everything you save.

§ 03The method behind it
About the builder
Syed Irfan AjmalFeatured as a case study in HBRQuoted in Forbes (USA)Bylines in Forbes Middle East, HuffPost, TNW300+ clients through DMR.agency since 2013

Software built from 13 years of client work, not a template.

Syed Irfan Ajmal

Syed Irfan Ajmal

Founder, DMR.agency · Builder of EMOS

I have run earned media for clients through my agency, DMR.agency, since 2013. I have also written for Forbes Middle East, HuffPost and TNW, so I have been the person reading the pitches too. EMOS is that method, turned into steps a founder can run without me.

Results from client campaigns delivered through DMR.agency using the method EMOS is built on. The Platform is new; these are not Platform customer results.

Not for you if

You want someone else to send the pitches. That is DMR.agency.

You want a press release pushed to a wire service. That is not earned media.

You need a directory of every journalist alive. This is a shortlist for the story you are pitching.

Secure payment via Stripe

How access works

  1. Pay by card through Stripe.

  2. Check your inbox. We email you an invite. If it is not there in a few minutes, check spam.

  3. Set your password. That is your login, and you land in the dashboard.

  4. Book your onboarding call. The welcome email has the link. We set up your first company brief together.

§ 06Straight answers
Do I need PR experience?

No. Each step tells you what to do next, and PressIQ tells you what is wrong with a pitch before you send it. If you would rather learn it live with me, that is EMOS Academy.

Does EMOS send the emails?

No. You send from your own inbox, which is where journalists reply. EMOS helps you pick the story, the journalist and the words, and keeps track of who you have pitched.

Is this a media database?

No. JournoCollabIQ finds journalists who cover your beat for the story you are pitching. It builds a shortlist with reasons, not a directory.

Will I get coverage?

No software can promise that, and I will not pretend it can. The Platform removes the usual reasons pitches fail: the wrong story, the wrong journalist, a weak pitch. If you want a guarantee, EMOS Academy has one.

What happens after I pay?

We email you an invite to set your password, and that becomes your login. The welcome email also has a link to book your onboarding call with me. If you paid with a work card or a different email, the invite goes to the email on the payment.

What is included each month?

60 story scans and 60 signal packs, 30 asset plans, 30 journalist searches, 60 pitch angles or media briefs, 200 pitch drafts, 200 pitch scores and 10 company brief builds. Your dashboard shows what is left, and everything resets on the 1st of the month. If you run out and need more, email me.

How do I cancel?

From Manage billing in your dashboard settings, or the link in your Stripe receipt. You keep access until the end of the month you paid for.

Is my data private?

Yes. Every account's data is walled off at the database level, so no other customer can see your company, your journalist list or your pitches. We do not use your data to train AI models.

Start with your company brief.

Give EMOS your website and it writes the brief every other tool reads. Then find your first story.
