Guys, honest review. I purchased their 2k global package, when they published it, only 500 websites picked up and not even Nasdaq or Bloomberg did. I later went with another distributor with lesser pr... See more

Waste of money

Waste of money. The outreach is ineffective. I'd use PRweb or PRlog for the press release.

Their outreach list is nothing a little open source research can pull and their pitch isn't worth $400.

All in all--burned 3K and got nothing but 100 press release links and no news placement for it.

I didn't get notification that my…

I didn't get notification that my release was approved for several hours after I uploaded it; when I called to find out the status the office was closed - at 4pm PT. That's not great customer service. I sent an email and then within 15 minutes I got the notification my release was approved. What was the hold-up?

UPDATE: I was quickly contacted by an account manager offering to rectify the situation, as well as assuring me that steps were being taken to correct these situations in the future.

Great Service!

Amanda was great and super helpful on helping my agency submit a release and getting it approved within short notice (less than 24 hours). Great service!

You pay before your release is…

You pay before your release is published or even finalised. US focus makes it not attractive to EU customers (I need to talk to a "strategist" for international options). Slow approval process (over 50 hours in my case). Won't use again unless for a US only release.

Update: Newswire did follow up after this review acknowledging the problems and trying to correct the issues.

Kirsten C. From Client Services Makes Newswire Rock!

Honestly 5 stars goes to Kirsten C. (of client services) alone. She has made my experience with Newswire amazing. She is always efficient, quick, and super helpful! Whenever I have a problem, I contact Kirsten and she will have it resolved within 30 minutes or less! She takes time out of her day to make sure I have no problems or issues, and if I do she resolves them then and there. I really can't say enough about her! I know for a fact that without Kirsten we wouldn't have tried Newswire and without out her we wouldn't have continued to use Newswire. She goes above and beyond with everything that she does and I'm continually impressed by her! Newswire is a good service and Kirsten makes it great!

Easy to use

Easy to use. Reasonable fees. Results of Newswire's coverage pending. I will definitely use again, depending on the results and reach for the press release. So far, so good.

Evelyn T./ORACUL release

Evelyn T. guided me through this with professionalism and high spirit. She made me feel like there were no silly questions she wouldn't be kind enough to answer, and then literally took the reins and brought it all across the finish line. I will be working again with her shortly, by choice.

Fast and easy experience

Fast and easy experience. I was confused with how to post my material to their site and they helped me through the whole process. This included making tags for the press release and giving their input on which days and times would work best.
