Meet the founders
Journalist led & founded
Husband-and-wife team Derrick and Kelsey Ogletree cofounded Pitchcraft in 2021 after noticing a gap in the market for a platform where true media relationships can flourish. Both raised in small towns with strong family values, they’re passionate about bringing people together in meaningful, intentional ways.
Kelsey, Pitchcraft’s CEO and content chief, has a master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University. Her journalism work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Travel + Leisure, AARP The Magazine and many others. Derrick, COO of Pitchcraft, is a graduate of the University of Alabama who previously spent over a decade in finance at Nasdaq, SunTrust Bank and Harbor Capital Advisors.

Media connections, collaborations & conversations that drive results
Pitch response rates and attention spans are lower than ever. PR strategies from three years ago are no longer working. The media industry is ripe for change. It’s time to ditch the databases and scarcity mindset and embrace the approach of building genuine relationships, putting people first.
