Why the experts journalists trust use Rolli

Direct Link to the Newsroom

Rolli is not a press release service. Your profile is embedded in the systems journalists use on deadline—not lost in an inbox. When a reporter searches your beat, you appear.

Trusted Expert Community

Every expert in Rolli is vetted. That trust signals to journalists that you're credible, camera-ready, and willing to engage. Your peers include professors, executives, and public officials.

Inbound Demand-Driven Model

The old model was: pitch and hope. Rolli flips it. Journalists come to you. Our AI matches you to relevant reporters and stories based on your expertise—automatically.

Build Real Media Relationships

Rolli isn't one-and-done. Reporters who find value in a source come back. Rolli helps you build a durable media presence, not just a one-time placement.

Always On. Surprisingly Affordable.

Your profile works 24/7. At $39/month (billed annually), Rolli pays for itself with a single interview. One major booking can generate 10X ROI—and that's not hypothetical.
