I’m pleased to announce the official launch of Billboard Publicity Wire’s new premium level of service, the ‘Media Visibility Release.’

Back in November of last year, we initially launched Billboard Publicity Wire to help publicists, marketers, and artists in the music and entertainment industries publicize their news and information using the PRWeb engine.

The main differentiator was that through Billboard Publicity Wire, the user would be able to receive placement in additional vertical spaces including on the Billboard.biz Web site. As we continued to grow our users, one of the consistent requests was for the ability to connect more directly with journalists and media outlets.

Back in March of this year, PRWeb added Associated Press distribution, and a few months later, the ability to embed video in your news release. The final piece of the puzzle came when we created a daily news digest for journalists and media outlets in the arts and entertainment vertical to receive the news releases coming through Billboard Publicity Wire.

At that point, we felt comfortable that we had created a really amazing product for users – both current and prospective – and that we should start telling people about it.
