Announcement: Series A funding round
Plan: Growth, $199 per release
Sent: June 2026, scheduled for 07:00 London
Contact: Hannah, Head of Communications

The brief

Hannah's team had closed a Series A and wanted the news in front of UK fintech reporters before the London open, with US investors reading it over breakfast. Funding rounds in payments arrive by the dozen. The release had to be tight, say plainly what the money was for and reach the trade titles their prospects actually read. Budget was a real constraint: the round was modest and a four-figure wire fee was off the table.

What we did

Our editor cut the draft from 720 words to just under 500 and moved the customer numbers into the first paragraph. Targeting was set to the UK and Ireland with two niches, fintech and B2B payments, plus a US business tier for the investors. The send was scheduled for 07:00 London so the story was indexed before the morning newsletters went out.

The outcome

Fifty-eight minutes after submission, the release had cleared editorial review and was live. By the end of the day the live analytics report showed 11 verified pickups, including two UK fintech trade titles and the Yahoo Finance and Benzinga placements the investors had asked about. Hannah forwarded the report link to the board that evening without editing it. Two inbound partnership emails the following week mentioned the trade coverage by name.

"We'd budgeted for one big wire send and got more relevant coverage from a $199 release. The report link did the rest of the selling internally."

Announcement: Third practice opening in Astoria
Plan: Starter, $49 per release
Sent: July 2026, scheduled for 09:00 Eastern
Contact: Marco, Practice Manager

The brief

Marco runs the day-to-day for a second-generation dental group that was opening its third practice. He had never sent a press release. What he wanted was simple: local Queens outlets covering the opening, something to point to on the practice website and social pages, and no jargon he would have to explain to his father. National reach was beside the point. The patients live within a few miles.

What we did

The draft came in through our free AI writer, then a human editor tightened it, cut the superlatives and added the practical details reporters need: opening date, address, hours and the insurance plans accepted. Targeting was set to one region, New York metro, and two niches, healthcare and local business. We scheduled the send for a Tuesday morning so it landed ahead of the weekly community papers' deadlines.

The outcome

Forty-nine minutes after Marco pressed submit, the release was live. His report showed seven verified pickups, including two Queens community news sites and a New York healthcare listing that now appears when patients search the practice name. At the front desk, several new-patient calls that week mentioned reading about the opening. Marco has since booked a second release, for a change in Saturday hours, on the free plan.

"I expected a form and a receipt. What I got was an editor asking sensible questions, then a link showing me exactly where the story ran."

Announcement: Canned cold brew launch into 60 grocery stores
Plan: Starter, $49 per release
Sent: May 2026, scheduled for 06:30 Pacific
Contact: Jess, Co-founder

The brief

Jess and her co-founder were taking their first packaged product, a canned cold brew, into 60 grocery stores across Oregon and Washington. The stores' buyers had asked what marketing was planned. A launch release was the honest answer, but it had to reach the food and drink writers who cover Pacific Northwest brands, and the trade press grocery buyers read, without sounding like a national beverage company.

What we did

The editor kept the founders' voice and trimmed the tasting-note poetry to two lines. Targeting was set to the Pacific Northwest and two niches, food and beverage and retail. Two product photos and a can-on-shelf image were attached, because consumer stories run on pictures. The send was scheduled for 06:30 Pacific so East Coast trade desks saw it early in their day.

3food & drink titles

The outcome

Eight verified pickups showed in the report by the next morning, three of them Pacific Northwest food and drink titles and one a regional grocery trade newsletter. One of the grocery buyers replied to the report link within the hour. A month later Jess noticed that asking an AI assistant about canned cold brew from Portland roasters returned the launch story, which is the kind of long tail a $49 release rarely gets credit for.

"The buyers wanted proof we'd promote the launch. A dated report with real links was better proof than any deck we could have made."

Announcement: Partnership with a rural hospital district
Plan: Growth, $199 per release
Sent: June 2026, scheduled for 08:00 Central
Contact: Renee, VP Marketing

The brief

Renee's clinic network had signed a partnership to provide virtual specialist visits across a rural hospital district. Health partnerships are easy to overstate, and both organisations' lawyers had signed off on specific wording. The release had to go out at the same moment as the hospital district's own notice, use the agreed language exactly, and reach Texas business and healthcare press rather than a national health-tech audience.

What we did

Our editor checked the draft against the approved wording and flagged one line that implied a broader scope than the agreement covered. Targeting was set to three regions, Texas, the Southwest and the national healthcare tier, with niches for healthcare, health-tech and local government. The send was scheduled to the minute for 08:00 Central to match the hospital district's board announcement.

0corrections requested

The outcome

Both announcements went live within the same minute. The report showed 12 verified pickups by the end of the day, including two Texas regional business journals and a rural health newsletter that the hospital district's board reads. No outlet asked for a correction, which for a health partnership was the number Renee cared about most. Since then the network has used release scheduling for two further clinic openings.

"The editor caught a line our lawyers had missed. That alone was worth the fee, and then the pickups came in on top."

Announcement: Innovation award at a German industrial trade fair
Plan: Growth, $199 per release
Sent: July 2026, scheduled for 09:00 Central European
Contact: Lukas, Co-founder and CEO

The brief

Lukas's team builds mobile picking robots for warehouses and had just won an innovation award at a German industrial trade fair. The German coverage took care of itself. What the company lacked was visibility with logistics-technology buyers and systems integrators in the UK and the US, and the award was a credible hook. The release had to read naturally in English and reach the trade titles those buyers follow.

What we did

Our editor reworked a translated draft into plain English, cut the jury citation to a single quote and put the robot's use case in the first line. Targeting was set to three regions, the UK, the US and Germany, with niches for robotics, logistics and supply chain, and manufacturing. The send was scheduled for 09:00 Central European so it was live for the UK morning and waiting for US desks when they opened.

The outcome

Nine verified pickups, including two logistics-technology trade titles in the UK and the US, with coverage across four countries. Two systems integrators got in touch in the following fortnight, one of them citing the trade story. Within a week, AI assistants asked about mobile picking robots from Munich were surfacing the announcement, which the sales team now mentions in first calls.

"The German press was already covered. This got us in front of the UK and US integrators we couldn't reach, for less than one trade-fair dinner."
