We launched PressHop® in London where the stories never stop.
Since then, we’ve grown fast and are now LIVE in 16 cities across the UK, USA and India. And this is just the beginning.
We’re set to expand into Brazil, Canada, Indonesia, Nigeria, and South Africa in 2026. The response has been phenomenal; not just from the UK, but from everyday citizens around the world who want to be part of something bigger.
Once you create and broadcast a task, PressHop’s smart radius tech kicks in, notifying verified Hoppers nearest to the location, starting from 1 mile and expanding outward up to 5 miles.
You can hire one or multiple Hoppers by the hour, and they’ll head out, capture what’s needed...be it photos, video, or interviews, and upload everything directly to you through the app.
It’s fast, precise, and built for real-time storytelling.
