From Series A startups to Fortune 500 enterprises, thousands of teams rely on Winston to get their story into the right newsrooms.
We compared four legacy newswires and Winston was the only one built for 2026. We cut release costs by 60% and doubled pickup in the first quarter.
The Winston team is always there when we need them, even on launch days and earnings calls. No dropped releases, no unpleasant surprises. We trust them with our most important announcements.
We published our Series B announcement on a Friday evening and had support on chat within two minutes. That alone is worth switching from our previous newswire provider.
Winston's multilingual distribution opened up EMEA coverage for us overnight. Our French and German releases now get pickup from regional trade press we'd never managed to reach before.
For a regulated industry like ours, audit trails are non-negotiable. Winston gave compliance everything they asked for on day one — and our legal team actually said thank you, which never happens.
The Reg FD timing controls alone justify the move. We've run six earnings cycles on Winston now with zero timing incidents and full board-level reporting baked right into the platform.
Winston's IR workflow was the deciding factor. Our earnings release now goes out with audit-ready timestamps and real-time pickup data the board actually reads on call.
As a small comms team, we needed a platform we could trust without a full-time PR ops role. Winston gave us enterprise-grade distribution at a price that makes sense for a startup.
The API integration took us one afternoon. We now ship product announcements from our internal release tool directly into Winston — no more copy-pasting, no more format bugs, no more missed targets.
The analytics dashboard changed how we report back to leadership. Pickup, impressions, engagement, and share of voice all in one place — the quarterly comms review used to take us a week, it now takes an afternoon.
We send over 200 releases a year across six business units. Winston's team-based permissions and approval flows keep everyone aligned without turning our comms calendar into a spreadsheet nightmare.
Onboarding took less than a week. The team was patient, the docs were clear, and by day five we were distributing releases ourselves. I don't remember the last time enterprise software felt this easy.
