Our take
Muck Rack was founded in 2009 as a platform for businesses to connect with journalists. As of 2022, tens of thousands of journalists have profiles on Muck Rack that are available for businesses such as Google, Pfizer, and Duolingo to browse and employ writers from.
The nature of journalism has evolved since Muck Rack’s founding, with social media and digital outlets taking demand away from printed publications. As the landscape changes, Muck Rack has expanded their services to include a Public Relations Management platform.
It’s moves like this, as well as their shift into being a “distributed” business (hybrid or remote) that has ignited a renewed confidence in Muck Rack from investors. Though the company has been bootstrapped since its founding, Muck Rack received its first outside funding to the sum of $180 million in 2022, exemplifying how important investors deem their platform to be.
With its substantial funding, the future is bright for Muck Rack, though they will have to think carefully about how to advance the platform. Digital content can go viral in a matter of hours, and the creators are not always journalists.
