Overall Satisfaction with PR Newswire

PR Newswire is currently being used by the corporate affairs department, primarily by the media relations team. It solved the business problem of needing to keep our own distribution list and also keeps us compliant with the SEC as far as who needs to receive our press releases.
  • Customer service at PR Newswire is excellent
  • PR Newswire offers reliable press release distribution
  • PR Newswire offers a quick way to see where your release was posted and who picks it up
  • PR Newswire offers fast turnaround when my company makes changes to our press release
  • The PR Newswire member portal makes submitting releases, reviewing proofs and approving easy.
  • PR Newswire seems to be a little pricey compared to some of their competitors
  • PR Newswire could offer more affordable translation services with quicker turnaround time
  • PR Newswire saves us from having to maintain our own distribution lists for press releases
  • PR Newswire automatically sends all our press releases to a list of our beat reporters that we keep on file with them so that we don't have to spend time doing that
  • PR Newswire makes submitting edits to our releases easy
We looked at changing due to the price of PR Newswire but were not as impressed with the other services to risk leaving. We have a great relationship with our account rep at PR Newswire and overall, had not had any major issues in the 5+ years we've been using them.
I would recommend PR Newswire as a service to any company that is willing to pay a bit more.
