Is it really a press release you need?

The kind of news that are best suited for a press release are those that:

  • can generate interest from external target groups
  • are clearly relevant in regards to current societal challenges
  • contain something that is perceived as new and unexpected.

Otherwise your press release may not be picked up by news outlets, and will therefore not become a published news article. A press release is therefore not always the best way to reach out – even if your have something important to tell. Sometimes it works better with other channels, or with communication directed to a specific audience. In such cases, we will propose an alternative.

If you are unsure, look at the questions in the form and see if they fit your news – or contact us!
