Overall Satisfaction with Newswire

We have used Newswire for doing press releases. This is both helpful for our own business and our clients businesses. Gaining visibility via local press is valuable for any business and really needed if you are looking to grow or gain new clients. We had tried to reach out to each news source in the past, however, that is very time consuming.
  • Press Release Distribution
  • Earned Media
  • Overall value is lacking
  • Quality of press coverage
  • Visibility
Overall it't a good platform and easy to use.

Yes

Would you buy Newswire again?

No

We had issues with the quality of the press coverage. Many of the Press Release Distributions that we did would get coverage on really strange off topic sites. However, sites that Newswire talks about and uses the logos of would not pick up the story. We even had them write a few press releases and actually saw less traction form those that they wrote.
