If you work in PR, you’ve likely heard the term 'pitching under embargo'. While you may encounter embargos often, it is a concept  all PR professionals should be familiar with.

For anyone who is not familiar with it, an embargo pitch is one in which you, the PR professional, is sharing information with a journalist or a media outlet under the agreement that it is not to be published until the information is allowed to be discussed at a specific date and time. 

Embargos are usually shared in advance of  the press release to allow a journalist time to consider the story. This practice allows for ample time to prepare coverage before the story goes live (i.e. the day the embargo is lifted) and ensures a coordinated release of the story across various media outlets.
