Hundreds of thousands of news releases are distributed by wire services every year and the incidences of security violation or fraudulent releases are very rare. Unfortunately, breaches do occur and that is why we all have extensive processes in place to ensure a level of comfort and security for our clients. (more…)
This new look and brand promise is the first step of our next journey as a company- we refer to this as our “Brand New Day” at Marketwire. Our vision is to inspire and empower the world’s communicators to achieve greatness. We are not just about issuing press releases for our clients nor are we just about social media monitoring and analysis software. We are about powerfully simple communication solutions. We are about technology and great design. We are about our customer service. We are about living up to all that our great brand promises for our clients.
To do this we are launching our new Marketwire Resonate platform in the next few weeks. Our platform will align the business intelligence extracted from the social web with the ability for our audiences to connect with all their audiences.
At Marketwire we have worked hard over the past 29 years to build a reputation for our company, to stand for all the good things we want our clients, prospects, partners and employees to think of when they hear the name “Marketwire.” They know that Marketwire is recognized for the innovative offerings and tremendous client service that we have delivered over the years, but as with all markets, technology is changing how we communicate. The world of social media is transforming the way people access, consume and interact with information and each other.
So today we are introducing our new brand identity. This new identity represents a refreshing of our brand. We want to ensure our brand is identified with social media communications, and speaks to a marketing communications audience as well as our traditional public relations and investor relations customers. Our service is Beyond Words in every respect and we will be working to develop our brand presence that matches our movement beyond traditional communications, beyond just social media communications and is actually recognized as the leading authority in bridging these two worlds of communication.
As 2010 draws to a close and we look to the promise of 2011, I’d like to reflect on “the year that was” to share some highlights of where we’ve been, and insights into where we are headed. (more…)
