Notified Public Relations Solutions with GlobeNewswire vs. PRNEWS.IO

This service might be more well suited for large corporations with a lot of press coverage that they need to get out on a very regular basis. GlobeNewswire may be much less appropriate for smaller organizations that cannot commit to the annual spend of the contract and adhere to its strict nature and aren't sending out regular releases. Note that they did not work with us on contract flexibility once signed, so just be sure that you will fully utilize the service and really stay on top of the cancellation date because if you miss it, you will be automatically locked in for another year. Thus for smaller companies it will be best to stick to an a-la-carte service that will be flexible and work with you on your changing needs. That is definitely not GlobeNewswire.

PRNEWS.IO is well suited for companies or agencies looking to quickly secure media placements without having to build relationships with publishers. It’s especially useful for PR campaigns, product launches, SEO backlinking, and brand awareness efforts, particularly when time and scale are priorities.
