Kooc Media, a specialist PR distribution agency serving the crypto, fintech, iGaming and technology sectors, has launched a dedicated PR service for AI startups, AI tool developers and companies building artificial intelligence products.
The new service gives AI companies access to the same guaranteed media placement model that Kooc Media has used since 2017 for crypto and fintech clients. Press releases and sponsored articles are published across the agency’s in-house news websites and distributed through its partner network, which includes hundreds of outlets and thousands of syndicated placements.
“AI is moving fast and the companies building in this space need PR that keeps up,” said Michelle De Gouveia, spokesperson for Kooc Media. “Most AI startups don’t have large marketing teams. They need a way to get real media coverage quickly without spending months building journalist relationships from scratch. That’s exactly what we’ve built.”
Why AI Companies Need PR Now
The artificial intelligence industry has grown rapidly over the past few years. Thousands of new AI startups, tools and platforms launch every month. The problem most of them face is not building the product — it is getting noticed.
Search engines, investors, potential customers and partners all look for third-party coverage when evaluating an AI company. A startup with press coverage on recognised news sites carries more weight than one with only a website and social media presence. For AI SaaS companies, AI agents, machine learning platforms and generative AI tools, media coverage acts as both a trust signal and a discovery channel.
PR also plays a direct role in search engine optimisation. Articles published on high-authority news websites create backlinks and brand mentions that help AI companies rank for competitive keywords. For startups trying to rank for terms like “AI writing tool,” “AI customer service agent” or “machine learning platform,” earned media coverage can make a measurable difference.
This is the gap Kooc Media’s AI PR service is designed to fill.
How the Service Works
Kooc Media operates differently from traditional PR agencies. Rather than pitching journalists and hoping for coverage, the agency owns and runs its own network of news websites. These include Blockonomi, CoinCentral, MoneyCheck, Parameter, Beanstalk and Computing, among others. A full list of the agency’s publications is available on the Kooc Media brands page.
When an AI company books a PR package, their article is written by Kooc Media’s editorial team, published across relevant in-house sites and then distributed through the wider partner network. Depending on the package, press releases can also go out through major financial and business newswires, with placements appearing on sites such as Business Insider, Bloomberg, Benzinga, MarketWatch and USA Today.
The result is guaranteed coverage with live links, delivered the same day in most cases. Clients receive a full report showing every placement and URL.
This model removes the uncertainty that comes with traditional PR outreach. There is no waiting weeks to find out if a journalist will pick up the story. AI companies get confirmed placements on real websites with real traffic.
Services Available for AI Companies
Kooc Media’s AI PR packages include press release writing, sponsored articles, homepage featured placements on in-house sites, newswire distribution and full campaign reporting. The agency also offers managed PR creation, meaning clients do not need to write their own content. The internal editorial team handles everything from drafting to publication.
Services are available as ready-made packages or as fully customised campaigns built around a company’s specific goals. Whether an AI startup is announcing a product launch, a funding round, a new feature release or a partnership, Kooc Media can build a distribution plan around it.
The agency’s existing experience in crypto PR and gambling PR means it already has established processes for fast-moving industries where timing matters. AI companies operate under similar conditions — product cycles are short, competition is fierce and getting coverage early can define a company’s trajectory.
AgentLocker.ai — Free Directory Listing for Clients
Alongside the PR service, Kooc Media has also built AgentLocker.ai, its own AI tools and agents directory. AgentLocker.ai is designed to be a go-to resource for people searching for AI tools, AI agents, machine learning platforms and artificial intelligence products across every category.
All AI companies that book a PR package with Kooc Media will be included and featured on AgentLocker.ai at no extra cost. This gives clients an additional discovery channel on top of their press coverage. As the directory grows, it will serve as a long-term listing that drives ongoing traffic and visibility beyond the initial PR campaign.
For AI startups and tool builders, this is a practical bonus. Directory listings on established platforms help with search visibility and give potential users another way to find and evaluate the product. Combined with press coverage across Kooc Media’s news network, it creates a broader footprint than a single press release alone.
Who This Service Is For
Kooc Media’s AI PR service is aimed at a wide range of companies in the artificial intelligence space. This includes AI SaaS startups, generative AI platforms, AI agent developers, machine learning companies, computer vision startups, natural language processing tools, AI-powered fintech products, AI chatbot builders and any business using artificial intelligence as a core part of its product.
The service is also relevant for AI companies that overlap with Kooc Media’s other areas of focus. AI tools built for the crypto, fintech or iGaming industries can benefit from combined coverage across multiple verticals, reaching audiences in both the AI and finance or gaming spaces.
A PR Model Built for Speed
Traditional PR timelines do not work well for AI companies. By the time a conventional agency has pitched, followed up and secured a placement, the news cycle has moved on. Kooc Media’s ownership of its publication network means articles can go live the same day they are approved. For AI product launches, funding announcements or major updates, this speed is a serious advantage.
Every placement comes with a live link, and clients receive a full transparency report showing exactly where their coverage appeared. There are no vague promises about “potential” coverage — the placements are guaranteed and verifiable.
“We built this service because we saw AI companies struggling with the same problem our crypto clients had years ago,” said Michelle De Gouveia. “They’re building great products but can’t get media attention without a huge budget or an in-house PR team. We give them a direct route to real coverage on real sites, published fast.”
Kooc Media’s AI packages are available now through the company’s website at https://kooc.co.uk.
