GlobeNewswire

For such an established SaaS news distribution platform catering to some bigwigs in the industry, I like how Globenewswire pays attention to the individual and small firm customer group. They not only provide a full suite of online marketing tools, they also provide SEO writing education for press releases, optimizing writing tips, and help in the full content creation, dissemination, and analytics process.

Their “full editorial staff” is vague; not fully described and enough to my liking. How many are there? Are they credentialed? Although becoming a Globenewswire member is free and their Do-It-Yourself (DIY) option costs only $150, if you want to send your press releases and articles to the critical United States News space, the price STARTS at $560.

Globenewswire is a top notch press release distribution platform. It is powerful, yet easy to use. And although they have a long list of impressive customers, they haven’t lost empathy for the individual freelancer, new start-up, and small marketing firms. I say “Bravo and Encore!” We need more big guys helping the next generation of media professionals.
