Overall Satisfaction with Newswire

We provide PR distribution and management for our clients. PR has become a necessity to broaden brand awareness and establish social proof for a product launch. It's imperative that a launch campaign establishes trust and validity for a product when it just enters the e-commerce space. Without these, the challenges are significant to overcome when moving potential customers through a user funnel journey. PR helps address the common questions of "Who are you", "Why should I believe in this company to deliver" and most importantly, "Am I going to get exactly what is on the website".
  • Easy to user user interface for press release distribution set up & publishing
  • Reporting for reach and identifying outlets
  • Excellent customer service
  • Proactive support and assistance
  • Marginal outlets and reach
  • Ability to choose higher tier publications and outlets
  • Removal of PR Newswire automatic placement
  • Insightful data from Newswire's analytics
  • Increased brand awareness
  • Universal reach
The user interface is intuitive and easy to use, even for a neophyte in PR.
Newswire stacks up poorly against Cision. However, we opted for Newswire as it offered automatic placement on Cision's PR Newswire for a much lower fee than going directly to Cision.
