Q&A: Adam Parker and Daryl Willcox demystify online press release distribution

Press release distribution is something that we are consistently asked about on our training courses and PR and social media related events. A growing number of commercial news distribution services and free services offer different ways to boost press release and related content visibility to media, through search and social media.

So how can you tell which press release distribution services count? What is a social media news release? What are the opportunities and potential pitfalls for businesses and agencies disseminating their news in this way?

I asked Adam Parker from RealWire and Daryl Willcox from DWP Publishing, MDs of two of the UK's most successful news distribution services, to provide some clarity and explain how businesses should use news distribution as a successful part of their online communications and marketing strategy.
