Food4Media, the social network connecting journalists with PR professionals across the food, drinks and restaurant sectors, today unveils a brand-new responsive look and many powerful new features, all backed by super-fast local servers.
The entire Food4Media platform is now fully responsive, enabling users to smoothly browse the site on their desktop PC, tablet or smartphone.
New feature include 'Favourites', allowing journalists to save content including press releases, images, videos, and messages to their own area.
PR professionals meanwhile benefit from 'Profile PDFs', allowing them to download a comprehensive overview of each journalist, containing the user's biography, social media statistics, Stories and Journalist Alerts, all in a single PDF.
PRs can also now keep personal 'Notes' on their relationship with all their contacts, generate reminders and export excel documents to track their outreach.
Also new is a dedicated page for Journalist Alerts, containing all the most recent requests for information from top journalists.
Calendar has undergone a transformation, and showcases industry events in a visually impactful grid or list view.
All the improvements mean over 5000 registered media and marketing professionals using Food4Media in the UK can share content, connect, communicate and build personal networks faster and more easily than ever.
Commented Henry Hemming, Food4Media's UK Managing Director: “Since Food4Media's launch in 2005 we have constantly evolved our offering. We've launched a private network for every user, inbox messaging, enhanced search functionality and more, all designed to complement our core press release, image and video platform. Today we've rolled-out responsive sites and a brand new look, backed by fast UK servers, enhanced security and a host of behind-the-scenes benefits.”
