Press Releases and Direct Contact

In an attempt to attract media attention for the mobile app company I do marketing for, I have tried to contact reporters directly and send press releases.

Contacting reporters directly never amounted to even a single response and while the press releases have generated tens of thousands of views and thousands of clickthroughs to the applications, not a single reporter has contacted the company to do an interview.

I've more or less written off targeting the press as a complete waste of time and the press releases are targeted more toward potential app users. As long as the company keeps expanding and gaining users the press will eventually want a story and until then it really isn't a hindrance to the company.
