Newswire Explains How to Write a Press Release Boilerplate

Newswire, an industry leader in press release distribution services, including content production, strategy, planning, and media technology, is well-versed in harnessing the power of a proper press release format to help brands share their message.  

Campaigns should follow a press release format that addresses the 5 W's + How, otherwise known as the inverted pyramid, and includes a press release boilerplate.  

A boilerplate is a standardized section of a campaign that's intended to share additional details about a business.  

"Think of a press release boilerplate as an elevator pitch," said Jennifer Hammers, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Issuer Direct. "The boilerplate shares a brief description of who a company is, what they do, and their mission." 

When writing a boilerplate, Newswire suggests companies keep the copy: 

  • Concise - Aim for about 100 words. 
  • Focused - Use a main search engine optimization (SEO) keyword to help attract search engines' attention. 
  • Positive - Share recent awards or any provable competitive edges. 

Below is a press release boilerplate template to use as a reference:
