PR Content Types

Press Releases

Press Releases are used when we need to broadcast breaking news stories.

They are written in a journalistic format with engaging storylines and quotes from principals to ensure wider distribution among the media looking for suitable, print-ready material.

Press releases typically contain 4 to 5 paragraphs with word limits ranging from 400 to 500.

Media Advisories

Media advisories are used when we need to alert the media to an upcoming news event, like a press conference.

They are written in a concise, one-page format outlining the event, its participants, the date and location. Think of them like an invitation that is sent 3-5 days before the event.

Specialized Articles

Specialized articles are used when we need to send news directly to members of the media and foster relationships with them, such as pitch letters, featured articles and editorial content.

They are written as a finished article and the format is more stylish/journalistic with an engaging storyline and quotes from principals to ensure wider distribution among the media looking for suitable, print-ready material.
