First of all, thanks for hunting us on @ProductHunt@kwdinc!
Next, to best answer your question @bentossell, I will refer your to this blog post, which does a great job of explaining how @PressTotem got started and has evolved to date:

Overall, I'd like to say that I feel privileged to have helped build this tool with @joshdilworth and his team at JDI, who have been amazing to work with. They really understand both PR and the (Tech) Press, have tremendous respect for journalism as a whole, and yet also maintain a big appetite for disrupting it.
Finally, if there's one lesson I'd share, it's as follows. While we continue to have a change-the-world type vision for how we see technology (and Totem) transforming the world of the Press and PR, by getting back to basics and focusing on improving a simple tool with feedback from customers, journalists, as well as some internal insights, we are a step closer to achieving our loftier goals!
@tomflemming I am going to go out on limb and guess you think the pricing is (an order of magnitude) too low. Is that right? Many think it should be closer to $99/month (vs $9/month), but we think we can service thousands of early stage startups and SMB's at this price point.
We may however be delusional, and acknowledge there is a huge learning curve going from self service to a concierge service model, and we very well need to revise the subscription upwards, or at least add another tier for white glove service.
