Pressdeck Guide: How to Make the Best Press Kit in 2025

Having a press kit is essential for businesses, startups, and creators looking to get media coverage. It’s a centralized hub of information that anyone can use to learn about your company or products. Press kits, or media kits, typically include essential details like your company’s background, key facts, logos, images, and contact information—everything the media needs to write an accurate and compelling story about you.
