For Collaborative Leaders
Stop chasing participation.
Start measuring impact.
Plucky Wire gives your members a fast, frictionless way to share stories and gives you the analytics to prove your collaborative's value to funders.
When sharing is hard, members stop sharing.
Most collaboratives still rely on email, Slack, or Google Drive to move stories around. Editors attach files, send out an alert, and hope someone on the other end has time to dig through their inbox. Filtering for relevant stories or looking back through the archives is difficult, if not impossible.
Meanwhile, you spend hours chasing members to participate, following up on who uploaded what and who downloaded what. When it comes time to report to funders, you're struggling to put together impact numbers you can believe in.
The fix isn't inspiring your partners to be more collaborative. It's making collaboration simple and easy.
Streamline your process and save everyone time.
Plucky Wire handles the mechanics of story sharing so you can focus on leading the collaborative.
Before
Editors spray stories over email and hope the right person sees them.
After
Editors upload all their stories to a searchable database. Other editors search and download what they need, on their own schedule.
Before
You manually track who shared and who republished in a massive spreadsheet.
After
Every upload, download, and republication is tracked automatically. Make your funder-ready report anytime.
Before
You spend hours each week nudging members to participate.
After
Sharing takes minutes per day. Send out custom email digests up to twice per day to help your collaborators notice the stories you think they'll want the most.
The numbers funders actually want to see.
Republication tracking across every medium
Radio, TV, print, and web... Plucky Wire tracks which editors download which stories, no matter where they go.

See which outlets are actively sharing, which are mostly consuming, and where you might want to invest more support.
We'll help you every step of the way.
The Plucky Wire team can give your collaborators custom trainings and walk them through onboarding, so they can start sharing from day one. We'll work with you to design a support plan that meets your needs and your budget.
We also offer a growing library of tutorials and user guides to help make the process easy for even the most overworked editors and reporters. If we can't help you directly, we'll connect you to our national network of experienced collaborative leaders who have likely been in your position before.

Launching a new collaborative? We'll help you stand it up.
Starting a wire from scratch is hard. Agreeing on licensing, getting every member set up, and building the habit of sharing takes time and skill. Our Collaborative Onboarding package is a practical program that does it with you: a kickoff strategy session, hands-on setup of your network and member outlets, training for every newsroom, and a comprehensive review once you're live.
You bring the partners and the mission. We bring the playbook.
