How to Use This Calendar
Four principles for getting the most out of your PR editorial planning.
Submit 2 Weeks Early
Journalists build holiday and awareness-day round-ups 10–14 days in advance. Submitting early gets you included.
Ride Existing News Cycles
Piggyback on major events (budgets, summits, earnings) with a reaction piece or expert commentary for easy coverage.
Plan Quarterly
Map your campaigns one quarter ahead. This gives time to draft, review, and pitch without last-minute rushes.
Diversify Channels
Use newswires for broad reach, guaranteed placements for SEO backlinks, and journalist outreach for exclusives.
