BrandPush and MarketPressRelease.com both accept company announcements, but they should not be treated as identical channels. BrandPush sells distribution packages with reports linking to live placements. MarketPressRelease provides a release-submission site, a free publishing tier, and paid account or release features. A page on the submission site is different from a network of syndication placements; neither guarantees a journalist will write an independent article.
Identify what is actually purchased
BrandPush's current package page distinguishes tiers by their distribution network and promises a report of live URLs. A buyer should examine the exact sites in a sample report and whether a named outlet is a local affiliate, a syndicated page, or an independent editorial feature. Ask what happens if a placement is rejected, changed, or later removed.
MarketPressRelease.com's current pricing describes one free submission per day, optional per-release features, and a company account with a newsroom-style profile. That is useful for maintaining a public record of an announcement, but the basic listing should not be represented as equivalent to national wire delivery. Check whether any separate promotion or distribution beyond the site is included in the actual order.
Match the tool to the objective
Owned record
Keep the authoritative announcement on your own company site regardless of which service is used.
Syndicated copies
If broad placement is the goal, request working destination links and clear labels for affiliates or paid pages.
Company profile
If a searchable profile and low-cost publication matter most, test the submission site's current terms.
Earned reporting
Pitch relevant reporters separately with a specific, verifiable story rather than counting a paid copy as coverage.
Evaluate cost and proof
Price writing, review, images, links, timing, and any profile subscription alongside the base distribution fee. MarketPressRelease's free tier has a different scope from BrandPush's packaged placements, so simply comparing entry prices misstates the purchase. Check each service's editorial guidelines and corrections process before submitting sensitive or time-dependent claims.
A useful campaign report separates submission, syndication, referral traffic, journalist questions, and independent coverage. AMEC's framework helps define those measures before money is spent. Network claims and package terms can change; the linked first-party pages are the appropriate current source. PRSA's ethics code is a useful reminder not to describe paid or automated copies as independent endorsements.
