How it works
From cold inbox to published clip — in three moves
KITI collapses the messy middle of travel and lifestyle media: the pitching, the chasing, the asset-swapping, and the credit-losing. Here's the loop.
KITI's roots go back to 2001 — the original MediaKitty connected ~20,000 verified travel, hospitality, and lifestyle media pros, earned an HSMAI Gold Award, and was featured in Wired Magazine and Business Blogging for Dummies before a professional pause. Now that room is rebuilt.
- 01
Find your room
The Directory and the Assignment Desk put editors, outlets, and brands in one place — filtered by beat, destination, and who's actually commissioning.
- 02
Pitch, apply, and message
Send press pitches and press-trip applications to the people who cover your story, and open a direct, moderated thread the moment they say yes.
- 03
Publish and get credited
Auto-sync your bylines into a verified portfolio, keep a media kit ready to share, and let brands track the earned coverage you generate.
A look inside
The room before you walk into it
Two surfaces do most of the work. One keeps you fed with stories worth writing; the other keeps you booked with work worth taking.
The Assignment Desk
Live calls from editors who are paying
Freelance gigs, pitch calls, press trips, and review opportunities — with deadlines, rates, and apply links out in the open.

Before you walk in
Working journalists and writers, editors and commissioning desks, PR partners and agencies, destination marketing organizations, publishers, and brands or properties with a story to place — anyone whose work touches travel, hospitality, and lifestyle media.
