Who this template is for
Press & Media Enquiry is built for sales teams, agencies and independent consultants who need to qualify inbound demand before anyone spends time on a call.
- Sales teams, agencies and independent consultants working in lead generation & sales.
- Teams who need to qualify inbound demand before anyone spends time on a call without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing unqualified enquiries clogging the pipeline with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are prospects arriving from ads, search and referrals — the form asks them 11 questions across 2 screens.
- Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of unqualified enquiries clogging the pipeline and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 5 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
- It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Type of request” is Interview request, the form dynamically exposes “Preferred interview format”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features conditional validation: if “Is this time-sensitive breaking news?” is Yes, “Deadline” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Type of request” is Press assets (logo, photos, etc.), the form dynamically exposes “Which assets do you need?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form
How is this different from a general contact form?
A general contact form doesn't ask for outlet, deadline or request type, so press enquiries get no priority over anything else in the inbox. This form is built to triage press requests by urgency the moment they arrive.
Can this handle guest post or contributor pitches too?
Keep those separate — use Guest Post Submission for content pitches, since the review process and required fields (writing samples, topic ideas) are different from a press or interview request.
Should freelance journalists use the same form as staff reporters?
Yes, the role dropdown captures the distinction without needing two separate forms; just factor outlet reach into how you prioritise the reply.
What if a request doesn't have a hard deadline?
Leave the date field open-ended or ask for "no specific deadline" as an option — the important thing is surfacing genuinely urgent requests, not forcing a date on every enquiry.

Yes. You can preview and test Press & Media Enquiry on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.
