We’re reviving Connectively as a journalist request platform and moving the Featured experience to its new home. Here’s what’s happening, and exactly what it means if you’re already a customer.
Today, we’re bringing Connectively back. A year after we revived Help a Reporter Out (HARO), we’re reviving a second PR brand and giving the platform you already use a home of its own.
Connectively is a journalist request platform where PR professionals and subject-matter experts find source requests and respond to them to earn media coverage. Connectively was originally built as “HARO in a platform” — a searchable, real-time version of the HARO experience.
Here’s what’s moving from Featured to Connectively: everything. Every media opportunity, profile, subscription, workflow, and piece of data you depend on is coming over to connectively.us. The only things changing are the name, the logo, and the URL.
Over the past four and a half years, we’ve built a platform that connects a subject-matter expert with a publisher about every six seconds, supports 100,000 users, and helps 2,500 publishers fill content gaps with expert-led articles. That’s what’s moving to its new home.
We acquired both HARO and Connectively a year ago. We took HARO from “discontinued” to a leading journalist request platform in the industry, and we see the same opportunity in Connectively. We believe Connectively is a brand the PR world already recognizes, with real equity left to activate.
Why now? Because Featured needs a clear path to relaunch as the AI co-pilot for PR. Moving the current experience to Connectively gives it a home of its own and frees Featured to become what PR needs next. And our existing customers get the best of both: continuity today, and an invitation to try what’s coming. The new Featured launches on June 2.
So for now — welcome back, Connectively.
What’s changing, and what’s not
If you’re already a Featured user, here’s exactly what this means for you.
- Your account moves with you. Your subscription, your profile, and your submission data are all coming to connectively.us. Nothing is lost, and nothing is changing about how the product works. It’s the same experience at a new address.
- You don’t need to do anything. The move happens for you. The next time you want to find and respond to media opportunities, just head to connectively.us. Everything is already there waiting.
If you have a question about your account during the move, reply to any email from us or reach out to support, and we’ll help you out.
Frequently asked questions
What is Connectively?
Connectively is a journalist request platform where PR professionals and subject-matter experts find reporters’ requests for sources and respond to them to earn quotes, interviews, and bylines. It’s the searchable, real-time platform version of the HARO experience.
Why did Featured bring Connectively back?
Because it’s a recognized brand with real value still in it. We acquired it a year ago alongside HARO, and rather than let it disappear, we’re giving it a proper second life as a standalone product — the new home for the platform our customers already rely on.
Is HARO still around?
Yes. HARO is alive and is a leading journalist request platform in the industry. We revived it a year ago. Connectively is the searchable platform version of that same experience, and both are owned and operated by Featured.
What’s the difference between Connectively and HARO?
HARO is best known for delivering journalist requests by email. Connectively puts those same kinds of requests into a searchable, real-time platform, so you can monitor and filter opportunities and respond the moment a request goes live, instead of waiting on an email digest.
What is Featured becoming?
On June 2, 2026, Featured relaunches as an AI co-pilot for PR — a single interface for finding and acting on opportunities across journalist requests, podcasts, bylined articles, speaking engagements, awards, and AI visibility, with AI handling much of the discovery and matching.
I’m a current Featured user. Is my account moving?
Yes, automatically. Your subscription, profile, and submission data all move with you to connectively.us. You don’t need to migrate anything yourself.
Do I need to do anything?
No. The move happens for you. Just log in at connectively.us going forward.
Where do I log in now?
At connectively.us/login. Everything you used on Featured is already there.
Is my data safe? Does my submission history carry over?
Yes. Every media opportunity, profile detail, and piece of submission data comes with you. Nothing is lost.
Does my subscription carry over? Is pricing changing?
Your subscription carries over as-is. Nothing about your plan changes in the move. It’s the same experience at a new address.
Where to go next
Connectively is live now at connectively.us. Log in there to find and respond to media opportunities, exactly as you did before.
And keep an eye out for the new Featured, launching June 2, 2026 as the AI co-pilot for PR.
