including newspapers, radio and television stations via PR Newswire’s distribution networks in US, Europe, Latin America and Asia with a total coverage of over 23,000 media points.

Expand its visibility to the news agency networks of CNW Group, Adnkronos, AFP Direct, APA, Belga, DPA, Europa Press, PA, SDA, The Australian Associated Press, Yonhap News Agency, Kyodo News Agency, InfoQuest, Notimex, Agencia Diarios y Noticias, Agencia Estado, O Globo, and MultiAgencias.

Measure and analyze its communications effort through Visibility Report and ReleaseWatch Report--the robust and comprehensive reportings that show exactly where the story was featured online and across social.



Effectiveness / Results

The release yielded an extraordinarily high amount of exposure worldwide
and it was featured on over 400 online websites with more than 500 million potential audiences. With a well-crafted story, engaging multimedia elements and worldwide distribution through the largest multichannel network, the release drew more than 482,000 video views and 19,000 image views and downloads.
