Press Releases and Earned Media Mentions: What's the Connection?

Earned media mentions can help businesses of all sizes and industries build brand awareness and create a strong foundation for future success.

Newswire, an industry leader in press release distribution services, has created its Media Advantage Plan (MAP) to help companies identify media opportunities, craft compelling stories, launch targeted campaigns, and generate positive publicity. 

A major focus of the MAP program is turning owned media into earned media, and to do that, Newswire harnesses the power of press releases, along with its robust SaaS platform, enriched press release distribution network, and the expertise of its team. 

"Strategic and consumer-focused press releases create countless opportunities for brands of all industries to build brand awareness, attract website traffic, improve search engine rankings, generate leads, and increase revenue," said Charlie Terenzio, CMO and SVP of Media and Marketing Communications at Newswire. 

The brand-building benefits of consistent and strategic press release distribution include but aren't limited to:

  • Trust - Staying in front of the consumer and the media with newsworthy press releases is an effective way to build brand recognition and create a level of trust that promotes new business and earned media opportunities. 
  • Thought leadership - To build on the former, the more value a company can provide, the better the chances are of securing earned media opportunities to position the brand as a thought leader in its industry. Thought leadership pieces are excellent ways to build brand awareness. 
  • Targeting - A major benefit of press release distribution is the ability to cast a wider net to reach relevant media publications. Targeted distribution lists, such as the ones Newswire offers, help companies distribute the right message to the right audience at the right time. 

"Writing and distributing informative and interesting press releases is an excellent way for brands to secure earned media mentions in relevant industry publications," added Terenzio. "The more earned media mentions a company can land the better their odds of standing out from their competition, generating a buzz around their brand, and improving their bottom line."
