Overall Satisfaction with Newswire

We used Newswire for one Press Release Distribution project at the beginning of 2022 announcing a fundraising round. We selected Newswire due to its reach and ability to get into various publications which is something we would not have been able to do. The pricing was also reasonable in comparison to some other vendors we had evaluated.
  • Communication via video calls and emails. They were responsive to any questions we had.
  • Provided all the information we needed to make the decision to move forward. They had the materials around what publications and news outlets they could get into for us.
  • Copywriting. Considering this was a service offered, we had higher hopes on the copy side of things. We originally provided them with our general idea/tone of voice for this press release along with a first draft. But when we got their draft back... it was just a little bland, some information incorrect, and we basically had to rewrite it.
  • The analytics front - we really didn't get any value from this side of things after the launch of the press release.
  • Improved brand awareness during the campaign
It was more service based but we did go into their platform a little bit. Just wish the analytics provided more, or that they walked us through it.

Do you think Newswire delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Would you buy Newswire again?

No

It may have just been our experience, but if you're looking for advanced copywriting skills you might have to look elsewhere. Again, it could have just been the specific one we worked with, but that was our experience. Newswire created more work on our end to have to rewrite the press release.
