A Phoenix-based media placement agency has put 2,000 articles into 1,000+ publications for 80 clients in four years. No journalist pitching. No waiting.

Instant Press Co., founded by 24-year-old Joey Sendz, runs a model that sidesteps traditional PR. Clients select their publications, approve the content, and go live within days. No cold emails to editors. No six-week timelines ending in silence.

A Different Model for Media Placement

Traditional PR firms charge monthly retainers starting at $5,000 with no guaranteed coverage. A client might spend six figures over a year and walk away with a handful of placements. Instant Press flipped that arrangement. The agency maintains direct publishing relationships with outlets spanning every price point, from $150 niche blogs to six-figure features in Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal.

“We built the infrastructure that lets clients control where they show up,” Sendz said. “Nobody should have to wait around hoping a journalist finds their story interesting enough to cover.”

The agency’s catalog includes outlets across news, business, technology, lifestyle, entertainment, and crypto verticals, with coverage reaching the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and over 100 other countries.

Productized Branding Through GoogleMe

In 2024, Sendz launched GoogleMe, a three-month program that transforms what appears when someone searches a client’s name on Google. The program bundles 40 to 50 strategic article placements with Google Knowledge Panel creation, wiki page development, and negative content suppression.

Seventy percent of people have Googled themselves. Most don’t like what comes up. GoogleMe packages start at $5,000 for individuals and $7,500 for companies. An executive tier at $25,000 includes guaranteed placements in Forbes, USA Today, and International Business Times.

Owen Piehl, a TikTok creator with over 121,000 followers, used the program to build out his Google presence before a brand partnership negotiation. Josh Amundson, founder of Status Hype, credited the service with establishing his company’s credibility during a fundraising round.

Expanding Into AI Search Visibility

Sendz recognized a gap forming in 2025: brands that dominated Google search results were invisible inside AI assistants. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok were answering user questions without referencing companies that had spent years building their web presence.

Sendz built LLM Surge (now Uppr AI) to fix it. The software tracks how AI systems reference a brand, identifies gaps, and feeds the content strategy that Instant Press already executes.

“Search changed,” Sendz said. “People ask ChatGPT for recommendations now. If you’re not in that answer, you’re losing business you’ll never know about.”

The Publication Network Advantage

Instant Press operates one of the largest privately held publication networks in the media placement industry. The agency’s 1,000+ outlet inventory carries a mean Domain Authority of 62.3, with 174 publications scoring above 80. Ninety-six percent of placements are Google-indexed, meaning they appear in search results and feed into AI training datasets.

For clients focused on long-term visibility, that indexation rate matters. Research shows 65% of AI citations reference content published within the previous year, and articles updated within 13 weeks receive roughly 50% more AI citations than older material.

The agency offers retainer packages at $3,000, $6,000, and $8,000 per month, guaranteeing 5, 10, and 20 placements respectively. A $49 “Fast Press” tier handles same-day publishing for first-time clients or high-volume campaigns.

From TikTok to Media Infrastructure

Sendz’s path to running a media agency started on TikTok during the 2020 lockdown. He posted up to 20 videos per day, hit 500,000 followers in 90 days, and accumulated over 100 million impressions. A college dropout from Grand Canyon University, he parlayed that audience into the NFT space, co-founding Junior Punks and NFTMagazine.com before turning his media relationships into a business.

Four years later, the agency serves clients across real estate, fintech, SaaS, healthcare, legal services, coaching, and the creator economy. The team remains lean by design: Sendz handles strategy and client relationships while the publication network and operational systems handle fulfillment.
