Building an AI product is hard enough. Getting anyone to notice it is a different challenge entirely. Kooc Media, a PR distribution agency known for its work in crypto, fintech and iGaming, has rolled out a new set of packages designed specifically for AI startups and artificial intelligence companies that need media coverage but lack the resources to get it on their own.

Most AI Startups Have a Visibility Problem
The AI space is producing remarkable technology. It is also producing a remarkable amount of noise. Thousands of startups are competing for attention from the same pool of investors, customers and media outlets. The companies that get noticed early tend to gain momentum. The ones that do not often stall regardless of how good their product is.
The usual advice is to hire a PR agency, but that is easier said than done. Traditional agencies work on retainers that can cost thousands per month, campaigns take weeks to produce results, and there is no guarantee that a single article will be published at the end of it. For a startup running on limited funding, that is a difficult bet to make.
Kooc Media takes a different approach. The agency sells fixed-price packages with guaranteed placements on named publications. Clients know what they are paying for and what they will receive before they commit.
A Publishing Network Built Over Nearly a Decade
Kooc Media was founded in 2017 and has spent the years since building something most PR agencies do not have: its own media network. The company owns and operates several established news websites, including Blockonomi, CoinCentral, MoneyCheck, Parameter, Beanstalk and Computing. These are not placeholder sites. They are active publications with real readerships and strong domain authority. The full portfolio is listed on the agency’s brands page.
Owning these publications is what allows Kooc Media to guarantee results. When a client submits a press release or article, the agency can publish it directly on its own sites without needing approval from an external editor. Content can go live the same day it is received.
For AI startups making announcements that are time-sensitive — a product launch, a new funding round, a key hire, a partnership — same-day turnaround can be the difference between riding a news cycle and missing it completely.
Major Outlet Distribution
Kooc Media’s owned sites form the core of every package, but the distribution does not stop there. The agency runs a full newswire service that pushes press releases to hundreds of partner websites and thousands of syndicated outlets across the web.
Higher-tier packages extend that reach to some of the biggest names in business and financial media. Placements can appear on Business Insider, Bloomberg, Benzinga, MarketWatch, USA Today and Dow Jones feeds, among others. That level of exposure puts an AI startup’s name alongside coverage of major public companies and global financial news — a credibility boost that is hard to replicate through any other channel.
Every package includes full reporting with live links to each placement, so clients can see exactly where their content appeared and share those links with investors, partners and their own audiences. Specific package details for the AI sector are outlined on Kooc Media’s AI PR page.
The Search Engine Effect
There is a long-term benefit to press distribution that goes beyond the initial wave of readers. When an article is published on a high-authority news domain, it creates a backlink to the company’s website. That backlink carries SEO weight, helping the company rank higher in search results over time.
For AI startups competing for visibility on terms like “AI tools,” “AI agents,” “artificial intelligence platforms,” “machine learning startups” or “AI software,” this matters enormously. Organic search is one of the primary ways potential users discover new products. A portfolio of backlinks from authoritative publications can significantly improve where a company appears in those results.
Because Kooc Media’s packages place content across multiple sites — both owned and partner — each campaign generates several high-quality backlinks in one go rather than a single isolated mention. Over multiple campaigns, the cumulative SEO benefit can be substantial.
AgentLocker.ai Gives Clients Permanent Visibility
Beyond press coverage, Kooc Media has created another asset specifically for the AI market. AgentLocker.ai is the agency’s own AI tools and agents directory — a platform where users can browse, discover and compare artificial intelligence products and services in one place.
The directory covers the full spectrum of the AI market, from simple automation tools to complex autonomous agent platforms. It is designed to be a practical resource for anyone evaluating AI solutions, whether they are a developer looking for a specific tool or a business searching for an AI partner.
Every AI company that buys a PR package from Kooc Media receives a featured listing on AgentLocker.ai at no additional cost. Unlike a press release, which drives attention during a specific window, a directory listing provides ongoing visibility. It sits there permanently, discoverable by anyone searching the platform, and adds yet another relevant backlink from a niche AI domain.
“We built AgentLocker.ai because we saw a need for a straightforward, well-organised directory of AI tools and agents,” said Michelle De Gouveia, spokesperson for Kooc Media. “Giving our PR clients a free listing there was an obvious step — it adds real value on top of the media coverage they are already getting.”
Backed by Years of Delivery in Demanding Sectors
Kooc Media did not build this model overnight. The agency has years of experience delivering guaranteed PR results in industries that are just as fast-paced and competitive as AI. Its crypto PR services have supported token launches, DeFi projects, blockchain companies and Web3 startups since the early days of the industry. Its gambling PR packages are used by online casinos, sportsbooks and iGaming companies that need reliable media placements across finance and entertainment publications.
The editorial team, publishing network and distribution partnerships that serve those industries are the same ones now available to AI clients. Nothing about the service is experimental. AI startups are getting access to a mature operation that knows how to get content published quickly and at scale.
Services include press release writing, sponsored articles, homepage features on owned publications, partner newswire distribution, and fully managed campaigns where Kooc Media’s team handles everything from drafting to publishing. For AI startups that do not have a marketing department, the managed option means professional media coverage without needing to hire anyone.
A Straightforward Path to Coverage
The AI industry rewards companies that build awareness early. Kooc Media’s new packages give startups a clear, affordable and results-guaranteed way to do that — combining owned media placements, major outlet distribution, transparent reporting and a free AgentLocker.ai listing into a single offering.
