Software companies rarely lack things to announce. New features, integrations, funding rounds, customer wins, market launches and product improvements happen continuously.
A company announcement can generate attention for a few days, but journalists may need information about the business long after the original story has been published.
Some PR opportunities are created months in advance. Others arrive unexpectedly through a journalist request, a market change, new regulation or an emerging reputation issue.
A press kit is a collection of verified information and downloadable assets prepared for journalists, editors, and other media professionals.
Most press releases lose media opportunities for one of five reasons: the announcement is not genuinely newsworthy, it does not fit the audience, its claims are difficult to verify, it creates extra work for the newsroom, or it reaches the media at the wrong moment.
Companies build stronger external communication by creating a structured corporate communication plan that defines what they want to communicate, who they need to reach, and which channels they should use.
