Tokyo PR & media, FAQ
How do I get featured in Tokyo news?+
Two ways. You can hire a Tokyo PR agency on a monthly retainer and hope they land coverage, or you can place earned editorial directly with Tokyo outlets through Essentras. You pick the outlets, see the price and turnaround before you commit, we write the piece to the outlet's standard, and it goes live. No retainer, no minimum, pay per placement.
How much does a Tokyo PR agency cost?+
Traditional Tokyo PR firms typically charge $4,000 to $15,000 per month on a 3 to 6 month minimum, whether or not they land coverage. Essentras is priced per placement instead: you see the exact cost of each Tokyo outlet in the marketplace with a money-back guarantee if we don’t publish. For most founders and businesses that is a fraction of an agency retainer.
Do I need a Tokyo PR agency to get Tokyo coverage?+
No. The agency's value is its outlet relationships, and that is exactly what our marketplace gives you directly: vetted Tokyo and regional outlets, transparent pricing, guaranteed placement. You get the coverage without the retainer or the long contract.
How fast can Tokyo coverage go live?+
Many Tokyo outlets turn around in a few business days, and some offer same-day. Each publisher lists its turnaround in the marketplace, so you can sort for speed when an announcement is time-sensitive.
Which Tokyo outlets can you place in?+
We work with Tokyo and regional outlets across our network of 1,500+ vetted publishers. Browse the marketplace, filter to the region, and you will see each outlet's authority, audience, price, and turnaround before you order.
