Secure A Spot on High-Authority Press Release Sites

Submit a Press Release

Overview

High-quality standards improve visibility and acceptance.

BrandWire goes beyond simply offering PR distribution. Most PR distribution attempts fail because they do not observe high-quality PR standards. To ensure high-quality submissions, brand integrity, maximum visibility, and media acceptance, strictly follow these guidelines for every submission.

Press Release Structure

Build your PR in the right order.

Headline

Create a high-impact, attention-grabbing title that summarizes the press release in fewer than 15 words.

  • Use action verbs
  • 10-12 words or 75 characters or fewer
  • Clear, factual, concise

Example: Fintech Giant Recc Secures $100M To Launch First AI-powered Finance Watch.

Dateline

Appears just below the headline and includes the city and date of the announcement.

  • London, UK, March 1, 2026 -
  • Dubai, UAE, December 1, 2025 -

Introduction (Lead Paragraph)

Use the inverted pyramid style and answer who, what, when, where, and why concisely. Avoid hype and fluff.

Body Content (H2 + Paragraphs)

Provide context, details, and data. Explain the announcement, the problem it addresses, and the impact on customers.

  • Short paragraphs: 2-4 sentences max
  • Short sentences: 15 or fewer words
  • Use H2 subheadings for sections
  • Use bullet points for key points

Quotes (Optional)

Quotes should sound natural, show excitement, explain the vision, and stand apart from the rest of the body.

Example: "We created the Recci Finance watch to help users keep track of the smallest expenses on the go. The response is overwhelming!" - Recci Tech CEO.

Call to Action

Use one or two concluding sentences directing readers to more information, an event, or the company website.

Boilerplate (About the Company)

End with a short company overview describing what you do, your market, and your positioning. Include a hyperlink to your website.

Media Contact

Include name, title, email, and optional phone or website.

Formatting Rules

Keep it clean, scannable, and publisher-ready.

  • H1 - PR headline
  • H2 - Main section headings
  • H3 - Supporting points under H2 sections only when needed
  • Normal body text for paragraphs
  • Maximum of three links per press release
