How does a Newswire distribution service compliment Influencer Outreach?

PR Newswire Integration

Coverage from a presswire is essentially paid media rather than earned media. Because it’s paid this form of press release distribution service, guarantees a certain amount of media coverage.

Pitching to Influencers

On the contrary, PR coverage from interacting with a media contact is earned media. You’re selling to a media representative, not a machine. When PRs pitch to media contacts, they can create very personalized communication and build lucrative media relations.

When to use PR Newswire Integration

This type of distribution service is good if you’ve got general news content that you want broad coverage on. Examples might include company announcements, new board members, funding & investment news, financial news etc.

When to use Pitching to Influencers

If you’ve discovered a media contact who writes about content that's similar to the story you want to distribute. For example, using this press release distribution tool you can find specific tech writer that often profile female CEOs.

How to engage through PR Newswire Integration

Most journalists subscribe to Newslines. Newswire services help them identify new stories & fact check content. More often than not, journalists do not interact with them. Local papers & online sites will automatically reprint the release verbatim or pull the subject title from press distributions. They are also used by individuals in other roles, such as assignment editors, who distribute the press releases to their writing staff based on their area of interest or beat.

How to engage through Pitching to Influencers

If the email looks like a brochure or a release, they’ll probably delete it or mark it as spam. If the email is personalized and shows you’ve done some research, they're more likely to respond as the release content is relevant and resonates.
