Introducing Pressitt, social media news release (SMNR) creation service

March 2nd, 2009 by Andy Merchant

At Liberate Media we always try to stand out from the crowd and push the boundaries of communications, and today marks a special day for us, as we introduce Pressitt, a social media news release service based on the social media news release template by Todd Defren.

The Pressitt project has been in development for the last year, and during that time we’ve used our own research to develop the service while trying to accommodate feedback from the social media news release community.

This is the first public stage of the project, but we won’t stop here. We intend to continue developing and adding more functionality and more social media elements, so please tell us what you think and be part of the Pressitt smnr evolution.

Pressitt is currently in private beta and is a collaboration between Liberate Media and Best Served Cold. Please register your interest and we will try our very best to accommodate you.

More about Pressitt:

This is how it breaks down:

Title: Title of your SMNR

Overview: Brief overview of the release

Core facts: Nuggets of information, expanding on the overview with facts and figures

Contact information: Names, email, and tel of the contacts, we have also included links to social profiles
