Keep your media kits and rate cards organized

Every brand outreach starts with a media kit, a rate card, and maybe a tailored pitch deck — and if you can't find the current version fast, you either send a stale one or rebuild it under pressure. Keeping these documents versioned and linked to the deals they produced turns your pitch materials into an organized library. Cash Workspace gives you one place to store each version and connect it to the deal record it helped win.

The problem

Why pitch documents get messy

Media kits and rate cards get updated often and sent constantly, so old versions linger and the current one is never where you expect it.

  • Three versions of your media kit float around and you can't tell which one a brand actually received.
  • Your rate card went up but an old PDF is still being sent, undercutting your pricing.
  • A tailored pitch deck you built for one brand is buried and can't be reused as a starting point.
  • A brand references 'the rates you quoted' and you can't find which version they were looking at.

The workflow

Version your pitch documents and link them to deals

Store each document with a clear date label, mark the current one, and connect it to any deal it led to.

  1. 1

    Create a pitch documents folder

    Make one home for media kits, rate cards, and pitch decks so they're never scattered again.

  2. 2

    Version by date

    Save each document with a date label, e.g. 'Rate card 2026-06', and keep the prior versions rather than overwriting.

  3. 3

    Mark the current version

    Note which media kit and rate card are current so you always pitch from the right one.

  4. 4

    Link to the deal

    When a kit or rate card leads to a deal, link it to that deal record so you know what was quoted.

  5. 5

    Refresh on a schedule

    Review the documents each quarter and version up when stats or rates change.

Common mistakes

Mistakes to avoid

  • Overwriting the old rate card, so you lose the record of what a past brand was quoted.
  • Not marking which version is current, leading to a stale kit going out.
  • Storing decks without noting which brand or niche they were built for.
  • Failing to link a winning kit to its deal, so you can't connect the pitch to the outcome.

FAQ

Media kit folder FAQ

Why version media kits and rate cards instead of replacing them?
Keeping dated versions lets you see what pricing and stats were live at any point and trace what a particular brand received. Replacing a file erases that history.
Can I link a media kit to the deal it won?
Yes. Link each kit or rate card to the deal record it produced, so the document and the outcome stay connected and you can see what was actually quoted.
Does Cash Workspace design my media kit?
No. It is a place to store and organize the documents you create elsewhere — versioned, marked current, and linked to deals — not a design tool.

Organizing help — not tax, accounting, or legal guidance
