This is our third year renewing with the Presswire global database, for sending press releases and exporting data for our own contact lists, and it's the best service out there hands down. Customer service is excellent if you need something additional like language translations or national newswire distribution.

In summary, I would recommend Presswire to a friend.

We love the Presswire database and its ease of use. It's fast to export Contact data and the Content Management System on the Presswire.com site means we can easily upload and distribute our releases to the targeted lists we build, globally or regionally. The contacts on the database are comprehensive and constantly updated, and if we want to add more then their Account Manager is always helpful. In short, for the cost of the subscription, it's the best system out there.

In summary, I would recommend Presswire to a friend.

As someone who spent 20 years in magazine editorial (for GQ, Loaded, Square Mile and others) and working as a freelance writer I know that perhaps the majority of press releases are mis-directed or irrelevant to the editor they are sent to. Two years ago I crossed over to the other side and established a PR company (Deeson & Deeson) specialising in publicity for High Net Worth individuals and PR for the music industry.

I those two years I found that probably the single biggest challenge was finding a reliable database of media contacts in the UK and abroad. I have tried a couple of different products and been very disappointed with the accuracy of their information. Since joining Presswire three months ago I have used the media contacts database on a daily basis and found it an invaluable tool for reaching the right person, on the right title or media outlet.

Of course, the media is an industry with an often rapid turnaround of staff and so there will always be occasional times when the person indicated for a particular job has moved on, but I find Presswire to be the most accurate source yet for such information and overall... (Read the full review)

Presswire is one of the best press release services out there for corporate disclosure and news release distribution, for big or small companies. We've been using them for about five years and they keep getting us good exposure through targeting the right journalists for our sector, and syndicating releases across their own online network, which also helps our SEO. The only downside is their website and use-interface is a bit old and hasn't changed for a few years, but one of their account managers told me they're launching a whole new system this year, for Distribution, Media Monitoring and Public Relations, so we're looking forward to seeing that.

In summary, I would recommend Presswire to a friend.
