Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Marketwired is used for disseminating news releases and SEDAR filing for public company clients. It is used to meet disclosure requirements.

Pros and Cons

News releases look good and are easy to find on the Marketwired site.
The user interface is simple to use.
News releases come up in search engine results.

Make news releases embeddable so clients can easily add them to their websites.

Return on Investment

Hard to determine.

Alternatives Considered

TheNewswire.com, CNW and Business Wire

I find Marketwired comparable to slightly better than CNW and Business Wire. For smaller companies listed on the TSX Venture, CSE or OTC, their money is better spent on TheNewswire.com.

Other Software Used

Google Analytics, Google Cloud Storage

Likelihood to Recommend

Marketwired is well suited for TSX listed companies looking to get their story out while meeting their disclosure requirements.
