Press release writing and distribution

Have news worth sharing? Make sure it reads like news.

Journalists see a steady stream of announcements and pass over most of them. A launch, milestone or partnership is more likely to be picked up when it has a clear angle, the facts up front and reaches outlets that cover your industry. We help you find the story, write it in the format editors expect and send it to relevant outlets. Coverage is decided by editors and is never guaranteed.

Where announcements get ignored

Stack of newspapers

Something important is happening in your business: a launch, a milestone, a new partnership or an event. You want people to hear about it, but you are not sure how to get it in front of the right journalists, or what they need to see.

If any of the following sounds familiar, you are in good company:

Not sure it is news

It matters to you, but it isn’t clear why it would matter to readers.

A release that reads like an advert

Superlatives and sales language instead of facts.

The wrong outlets

Releases go to large lists that don’t cover your industry or region.

Promises of guaranteed coverage

You have been offered “guaranteed” articles and aren’t sure what that really means.

No record of what happened

After sending, nobody knows where the release went or what was published.

Editors publish what interests their readers. A clear, factual story with a relevant angle, sent to the right people at the right time, has the best chance.

These are patterns business owners often describe to us. They are not a verdict on your announcement; that needs a proper conversation about it.

The real cost

What a poorly prepared release really costs

A missed opportunity is hard to repeat.

Person reading the news in a newspaper

News that disappears

A real milestone goes unnoticed because the angle or timing was wrong.

Credibility at risk

Exaggerated claims or unclear facts make journalists less likely to read your next release.

Money on the wrong distribution

Sending to irrelevant lists costs money and reaches no one who cares.

Confusing results

Without verified reporting, it is hard to know what was actually published.

Why it happens

Five mistakes that can sink a press release

Each one is avoidable with preparation.

01

Announcing without an angle

The news feels important internally.

Better: Find the angle that makes it relevant to readers: what is new, why it matters, and to whom.

02

Writing like an advert

It is natural to promote the business.

Better: Use the format journalists expect: a clear headline, facts first, quotes and contacts.

03

Sending to everyone

Bigger lists seem better.

Better: Target outlets and journalists who cover your industry or region.

04

Ignoring timing

Releases go out when they are ready.

Better: Plan timing around the news itself and the outlets’ schedules.

05

Expecting guaranteed coverage

Some services promise it.

Better: Treat paid placements as advertising, clearly labelled, and judge earned coverage on verified pickups.

What good looks like
