HARO died. Then it came back. Now it's rebranding again — and there's a brand new AI tool in the mix too.
If you've been trying to get your product featured in the press and you're not sure which free tools are actually worth your time right now, this video breaks it all down — from a product brand's perspective.
We're covering:

Why HARO is genuinely useful for product brands (and how to actually use it)
The history of what went wrong with Cision and Connectively — and why it matters now
How Featured.com brought HARO back in 2025 with better spam filters and source verification
The brand-new changes happening as of June 2026 — Connectively is back, and Featured.com is relaunching as an AI co-pilot for PR
Our honest take on what to actually use, and how to build it into your PR strategy

This is the most current breakdown of these tools you'll find — and it's built for founders, not PR agencies.
