For the last three years I have distributed hundreds of online press releases via PRWeb, with a focus on search engine optimization (SEO) and growing the online footprint of my clients. These continue to play an extremely valuable role in their overall marketing strategies.

There are times, though, when it is ideal for true ‘news’ releases to be sent to traditional media: print, radio, and television – in different countries (including Australia!), and in a variety of languages.

I am now able to offer this service, and have added an Australian journalist to my team to assist me in continuing to deliver the premium service that sets Kerry Finch Writing apart.

While this is a new service from Kerry Finch Writing, it is worth revealing that I have had over 25 years’ experience and success with the press releases  that I created in other work situations.

For several product launches I obtained double page, full color spreads in national newspapers, top-selling women’s magazines, the financial press, radio and national television.

This International News Wire Service will be right for you, or your clients, if you are targeting editors, writers and journalists (and their readers/listeners) in a specific geographical region when you are

• holding or promoting an event
• starting up a business
• launching a product
• publishing a book
• looking for distributors
• announcing company or brand news

Indicative Pricing For News Releases

The cost of this service is, understandably, considerably more than distributing press releases to online destinations only (news feeds, forums, blogs etc).  These particular news releases are sent to genuine news journalists and editors, along with, in some cases, targeted niche verticals (special interest magazines) – via one of the most highly respected news wire services in the world. They have strict criteria that must be adhered to, with a very high level of quality control.

Importantly, for each news release distributed through this premium wire service, we will provide a PDF report that gives detailed statistics on the reach of the release, including links to any appearances of the news item in digital versions of traditional media.

 For example, for us to write and distribute a 385 word press release, indicative costs are, with GST to be added for Australians:

• UK/Ireland: $650
• US Pacific North West: $665
• Canada: $850 (Bi lingual)
• Australia and New Zealand: $875
• USA: $1075
• All Europe: $5600 (all translations included)
• Full Global: $10200 (all translations included)

Naturally, there is room for reduced prices when two or more releases are prepaid purchased.

This is a new service from Kerry Finch Writing, and one that I’m truly excited to be able to offer. But just because it is new to KFW, that doesn’t mean that I have little experience in writing news releases! In fact, I’ve enjoyed considerable success with the press releases I created in other roles, as has the journalist who has joined my team (in fact, she has insider-insight into what journalists are looking for!).

Important Information About This NEW News Release Service

• Kerry Finch Writing is not a full service Public Relations Agency – we do not have relationships with any journalists, and we do not follow up on individual press releases that we send on your behalf, nor offer to provide a public relations strategy – we research, we write, and we get your press releases distributed through premium wire service channels.
• A company logo is included in the cost for each release, but any additional files (photos, PDFs, videos) incur extra charges.
• We can include a media monitoring service to help pick up on any stories published/broadcast, based on a three month minimum media monitoring commitment (around $200-500/month, depending on the number of terms you wish to monitor).
• While there is a definite SEO advantage in publishing these releases, I encourage my clients to partner them with the PRWeb service we already provide.  This would involve creating one (longer) press release for PRWeb and creating a shorter version for the wire service.
