Paul Denya
A lifelong coder, Paul built PitchFriendly, the platform behind every PressFriendly campaign and the software some of the world’s top PR firms license to run their own. Previously he was employee #2 at HelloSign and built microsites for New York ad agencies. Based in North Carolina, he guides PressFriendly’s technology vision and brings a working engineer’s perspective to the startups the agency serves.
Explore PitchFriendlyWe built the platform other PR firms license.
Every PressFriendly campaign runs on PitchFriendly, the software Paul built to plan outreach and track every pitch at scale, so a senior team stays consistent and never goes dark.
Some of the top PR firms now license PitchFriendly to run their own outreach. A senior team running on software does the work of a much larger one running on inboxes and spreadsheets.
