Winston publishes every release to a high-authority newsroom domain and simultaneously pushes it to our network of 220,792+ verified journalists, syndicated news partners, aggregators, and industry publications across 170 countries.
You control the scope: national US, pan-European, APAC, or fully global, with additional industry and topic targeting for sectors like technology, healthcare, finance, energy, and consumer goods. Every release lives on a permanent, SEO-indexed URL your audience can find years later.
Every Winston release, regardless of plan, includes everything modern communications teams actually need to publish professionally.
- SEO-optimized release page on a high-authority domain with schema markup
- Unlimited embedded images, video, PDFs, logos, and multimedia assets
- Real-time pickup tracking, analytics dashboard, and exportable reports
From draft to wire in under two minutes
Most customers publish their first release within 60 seconds of signing up. The editor accepts copy-pasted content, Word docs, or Google Docs imports, applies AP-style formatting automatically, and pre-checks for compliance issues. For scheduled releases (earnings, embargoed announcements), you can queue distribution down to the exact minute and time zone.
Yes. Our Enterprise plan was designed with IR teams and compliance counsel in mind. It includes SEC-ready filing workflows, Reg FD-aware timing, timestamped audit logs, SSO, role-based permissions, and Disclosure & 8-K-friendly export formats.
Listed issuers on the NYSE, NASDAQ, LSE, TSX, and ASX currently use Winston for quarterly earnings, material announcements, and executive changes. A dedicated account manager and 24/7 phone desk are available for time-sensitive material disclosures.
Modern platform
self-serve, transparent, real-time
Publish in minutes, not days. See pickups as they happen. No sales calls to release your own announcement. Flat pricing with no surprise multimedia, headline, or wordcount fees tacked on at checkout.
Legacy newswires
sales-led, opaque, PDF reports
Multi-day approvals, per-word pricing, hidden distribution fees, clunky editor, and a PDF pickup report that arrives a week later. Built for the era before SaaS dashboards and API integrations existed.
Every release comes with a live analytics dashboard showing pickups by outlet and region, unique reads, time-on-page, referral sources, downloads of embedded assets, and social shares. You can export branded PDF reports for executives or stakeholders, connect results directly to Google Analytics via UTM tagging, or sync data to your BI warehouse through the Winston API.
Yes. You can schedule any release down to the minute and time zone — ideal for earnings, coordinated launches, or cross-market announcements. Embargoed releases can be shared privately with trusted journalists ahead of distribution, with read-receipt tracking so you know exactly who has seen the draft before the wire goes live.
Winston gives you a layered targeting engine so you can distribute broadly and still reach the right people.
- Pick a geographic scope — global, continent, country, or metro region.
- Pick one or more industries, from fintech and biotech to consumer and energy.
- Optionally layer in named beat lists, or upload your own private media contacts.
Built for PR, IR, and comms agencies
Agencies get a dedicated multi-client dashboard, white-label reporting, volume discounts, and the ability to manage distribution on behalf of any number of client workspaces from a single login. Reseller pricing starts at 25% off standard rates and scales with volume. Contact our partnerships team to set up an agency account.
All plans include email and chat support staffed by former newsroom editors and PR specialists — not tier-one ticket handlers. Professional customers get priority chat response, and Enterprise customers get a dedicated account manager plus a 24/7 urgent desk line for time-critical IR and earnings distributions. Our median first response time is under four minutes during business hours.
