Back List


Introduce the reader to what's new. A new partnership, product, service, or achievement? Tell us all about it, just keep it short and to the point. Being excited is ok, but don't go all crazy here either or sales focused. Being humble is the key here.

Press releases have a standard format that you should follow:

  • Title
  • Summary ​(4-5 sentences, in bold)
  • Main text​ (2-3 paragraphs)
  • Boilerplate(s)​ (a 4-5 sentence description of what your company does)
  • Contact details​ (not for publication)

Here you can find a great example:

What does this mean for the reader?

Answer this question very clearly. Explain what it means for them and the reason for this article. Make sure that they first understand the value or benefit for them. Consider creating a small video that grabs attention and drives excitement.

Why are we excited?

Heres the time to go further in-depth. Try sharing some inside perspective on this announcement and have a couple of important people share their views and why they are enthusiastic. This is a very personal and authentic way of presenting yourself, so go for it. Try to use quotes and visuals of the people involved.
