1. Technology Press Release Example

Launching a new App

The following technology press release example announces the launching of a new web-based application. It starts with the introduction of the company and its new app. In the following paragraphs, it mentions a quote from the Director of Permit Coordination and Zoning Enforcement Officer in Connecticut which makes the copyright more authentic and professional. 

“We are grateful we had all key departments integrated and working on a single application so we could keep our City on track through Covid-19 and accelerate reopening safely,” says Sean Hearty, Director of Permit Coordination. 

In the rest of the press release, it explains the enhancements this app offers, such as new service areas, integration, reporting facility, template store, and ability to run multiple government utility billing solutions. 

The above press release hasn’t left any black spaces for the readers to wonder and provides great detail on the app working, and why you need it. This press release is 800+ words that are unusual but okay. When it comes to writing a news release, you shouldn’t leave any information just for the sake of word count. 

2. Event Press Release Example

Announcing an upcoming Event

The following event press release example announces a virtual event by the IVFbabble, the online magazine, and support portal for the “trying to conceive” community. The press release clearly indicates the event, why it is being conducted virtually, and who should attend it. 

The press release also includes the quote by co-founder Tracy to give it a more authentic feel, “Our aim is to make sure people who are trying to conceive are armed with as much support information and guidance as possible to help them make informed choices and decisions.”

The last paragraph of the press release contains contact details such as email, event web page URL, and the registration link. 

3. Pharmaceutical Press Release Example

Announcing a new product

The pharmaceutical press release starts with the problem that the company is trying to solve with its new disinfect solution. As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, each community is facing a struggle to get the cleaning and sanitizing solutions. The company has introduced two kinds of natural cleaning agents: a surface cleaner and a sanitizer. 

The rest of the paragraph explains how these cleaning agents work by adding the quote from the Vice President of the company. 

“My favorite thing about the solutions we use in the Total Coverage 360 program is that they are safe enough to use multiple times a day and in all areas of the community, yet very effective,” added Barbieri. “Not every cleaning product can say that.”

The last paragraph introduces the company and offers the official website URL for the readers interested to know more about the products or company.
