Description

Founded in 2010, Pressat is a UK‑based press‑release distribution service providing self‑service and subscription models for businesses, agencies and organizations. The platform emphasizes UK & international distribution with newsroom hosting, multimedia support, and syndication through major news‑agency networks.

Features

Key Features Include:

  • Company newsroom hosting and permanent archive of press releases.

  • Unlimited images/files and multimedia embeds included in packages.

  • Rapid distribution (aimed ~15 minutes) and UK‑based editorial review for each release.

  • Targeted distribution to UK journalists/editors/bloggers plus opt‑in subscriber list (~33,000) plus syndication to major databases (DowJones Factiva, Lexis Nexis, etc).

  • Add‑on circuits for international distribution by country, continent or globally.

  • Optional add‑ons for prominent agency distribution (e.g., Press Association in the UK & Ireland, Nasdaq OMX, etc) for higher‑visibility placements.

  • Subscription models for bulk or frequent use (agency/bulk packages) in addition to one‑off submissions.

Pressat not only focuses on traditional media channels such as print, but also utilizes online news and social dissemination techniques. This ensures your news is socially shared through online communities and platforms while also optimizing press releases with multimedia assets, social media traits and links.

Pressat also offers a social media newsroom that is automatically activated when publishing your first press release. The newsroom enhances the visibility of your online brand and makes it easy for visitors to find, share and revisit your news. Brand specific RSS feeds are also made available for users wanting to follow through news aggregators and smartphone applications.

Notes

One‑off submission: £110 (plus VAT) for a single press release in the UK. Subscription model: e.g., up to 5 submissions/month for £290/month. Yearly subscription: e.g., up to 18 submissions/year for £1,499/year. pressat.co.uk International add‑ons: e.g., country circuit from £49, continent from £99, global from £199 (as add‑ons). Media database has a free trial available and while pricing is not on their website, given smaller UK/agency media databases are often priced from £500‑£2,000/year, a reasonable estimate for Pressat’s database alone would fall somewhere in that range—likely £1,000‑£3,000/year, but this is an estimate only.
