In February 2026, after a 90-minute phone call with their sales representative, I signed a €3,190 contract to distribute my press release to targeted media outlets and journalists. The result? They delayed the distribution of my press release for two weeks, claiming that internal preparation work was required. Looking back, I strongly suspect that this delay was mainly intended to justify the astronomical price of their service. On the day of distribution, at 9 a.m., I received an email containing a link to track the results and any potential coverage of my press release. 946 publications reported, but nothing more than automated copy-and-paste reproductions of my text on news aggregator websites! Some platforms published the exact same text dozens of times. My press release ended up being distributed across 31 countries, far beyond the five markets we had originally targeted. Despite these impressive statistics, the actual results were extremely disappointing: no original journalistic articles identified, no measurable external traffic, and no noticeable SEO benefits. The copied content was published on pages buried four, five, or even six levels deep within the websites. No clickable links, so don't even get me started on DoFollow or NoFollow! According to my own checks, the six recorded clicks were simply from me visiting the published pages! I had also tested a similar service provider that was ten times cheaper, and they refunded me after I complained. With Cision, it was the complete opposite: after disputing the invoice and requesting an amicable resolution, I received payment reminders, followed by debt collection demands with additional fees. I feel completely misled about the true nature of this service. In my opinion, this is nothing short of a commercial scam!

The sales rep was lovely, explained everything very clearly and when I was ready to pull the trigger, she was not available so someone else stepped in, Gabby. Gabby picked up where Alicia left off and distributed the PR but forgot the micro list that Alicia quoted. Had there not been so much handoff, I don't believe this would have occurred. The response when I said the list should go to a specific audience and I wasn't seeing that audience in the report, was just wait...it will show as it just went out yesterday. The more I looked, the less confident I was that the microlist was included. Sure enough, it was not. Gabby was matter of fact and honestly, not very friendly in her responses after that. I left a voicemail and copied Alicia, the sales rep without response from her. I dont know if she left the org or what happened but I pushed and asked if they could send the micro list distro now and was referred to yet another department, editorial who was also lovely to speak with and said they would distribute right away.

I am an agency owner and have been in PR for ten+ years. If I could give PRNewswire NEGATIVE stars, I would. What a total scam of a once prestigious business. They charged me over $6200 for TWO press releases. Charges that I would never have approved because I'm not an idiot. The last time I distributed a press release was in August of 2025, less than a year ago, and it was $1200. So when I received an invoice for over $6200 for two press releases, I was shocked to say the least. When I called, they explained that I was over the word count and that had added to each release. I was never told I was over the word count, nor was the word count displayed. This extra charge or long word count was never confirmed with me during the editorial phone call, instead they just confirmed the title and logo and sent me on my way. If I had known they were over the word count, I would have edited my releases, obviously. Additionally, the company and distribution statistics are a complete scam. The last 10 pages of national distributions have a 0 audience. Why include those publications in your distribution statistics considering no one reads them? Scam. I am continuing to fight this case, but I really hope that small business owners do not spend their money here. The wire is dead, and this is a prime example of a scam company trying to squeeze the last dollars out of it.

The worst PR service we've ever worked with. They mixed up the pricing, the company name, and other important details multiple times. The overall results were very disappointing. However, the biggest issue is that we still have not received the invoice required for our accounting department. We have requested it several times and have only received apologies instead of a solution. It has been almost two months since Quotation 77234 was issued, and we are still waiting for the invoice. If you decide to work with this company, be prepared for serious communication and administrative issues.

Spam. Old ambulance chasing attorny garbage. getting in the way of real news.

Constantly putting hit pieces on Smci stock everyday, because their being payed by shorts to publish fud or they are owned by a hedge fund , or bucket shop , don’t listen to their lies , they need to sued and shut down for short and distort campaigns, they’re no better than benzinga, seeking alpha or barrrons !

Pessima esperienza con Tale Luca Arcenese di Prnewswire. Sconsiglio a tutti di imbattersi con lui se volete iniziare a pubblicare su un network cosi costosissimo.

I tried working with this company, but unfortunately, their process was very disappointing. The workflow felt disorganized and lacked proper communication at each stage. Timelines were unclear, and updates were either delayed or missing altogether, which created unnecessary confusion.
