What do you dislike about iCrowdNewswire Paid Media Release℠?

Given the apparent misrepresentation of brand partnerships and the misleading performance reports, we cannot recommend iCrowdNewswire. We urge other potential clients to be extremely cautious and to require verifiable proof of performance upfront. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Your one-stop solution for hassle-free PR distribution"

4/5

What do you like best about iCrowdNewswire Paid Media Release℠?

iCrowdNewswire ReleaseLive can take on my press release distribution, marketing, and outreach needs without even breaking a sweat. It's very easy to use, and with the added support from the Live Chat, I don't have to worry about anything, especially hidden or added costs.

I also really like the email marketing feature, which enables me to upload my own curated lists of journalists to deliver my news to.

The report is very simple, yet it does a phenomenal job of breaking down the analytics to measure performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iCrowdNewswire Paid Media Release℠?

I haven't encountered any issues so far, and the experience has been good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The perfect tool to distribute press releases and to get your message across through Ad targeting"

5/5

What do you like best about iCrowdNewswire Paid Media Release℠?

iCrowdNewswire ReleaseLive distributes press releases to all major outlets like the other newswires but it takes it to the next level by putting you in the driver's seat and allowing users to create and mold their own marketing campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iCrowdNewswire Paid Media Release℠?

Nothing because it gets the job done on all fronts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is iCrowdNewswire Paid Media Release℠ solving and how is that benefiting you?

Firstly, iCrowdNewswire ReleaseLive is helping PR Comms folks to get their releases out on time while providing 24/7 support, which is something that is not common in the industry. And secondly, through their Ad targeting capabilities across platforms like Google, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Taboola, they can get the message across to specific audience groups, enabling users to specify and target the people that matter the most. While the industry is still using the scattershot approach, iCrowdNewswire focuses on delivering based on the user's specific requirements which is insane when you consider the price points, customization options, and the support that is available.

"Great press release service to reach specific audiences and stakeholders on premium and social media"

5/5

What do you like best about iCrowdNewswire Paid Media Release℠?

I am college student and I had a specfic project to reach audiences and media interested in topics around Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. I wanted to share my research on a specific DEI topic and reach specific stakeholders. ReleaseLive and other iCrowdNewswire distribution made that easy for me to do and get my research noticed and I had strong pick up and mentions. They made it easy to reach specfic sections of premium media and social media to people and journalist who matter most in the space of my particular interest. I would use them again in my communications or marketing field in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iCrowdNewswire Paid Media Release℠?

I didn't have any downside experience even as a new user I got support and really good advise and pricing as a student. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is iCrowdNewswire Paid Media Release℠ solving and how is that benefiting you?

ReleaseLive helped me reach very specific audiences and got the audience results I needed for my project. I receive great analytics reporting that I was able to use in my research and final presentation for an English / Media class project. I also think iCrowdNewswire distribution is taking the right approach for modern press release and communications use cases. Most people, especially students learning PR/Comms want very specific results and the ability to reach people including media and journalist not only through premium media but also through social media, like directly to people in LinkedIn, for this purpose this was a great tool. It allowed me to target my message precisely and not through a scattershot approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reporting results speak for themselves compared to other press release distribution"

4.5/5

What do you like best about iCrowdNewswire Paid Media Release℠?

You get a lot with this distribution provider. I reviewed several as a summer intern. Most will give you unverified analytics - what the industry calls 'potential to see'. ReleaseLive gives you real, verified audience reach and clicks. It shows sociodemographics, industry and interest reporting as well for your selected media and social media. Great reporting! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iCrowdNewswire Paid Media Release℠?

The reporting is very good but would love to see some deeper information about engagement on the clicks. That said you get more than you do with other providers so there is really no downside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is iCrowdNewswire Paid Media Release℠ solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was evaluating the difference between different services. It helped me understand the benefits and features. Really good features beyond the standard with options for custom design, unlimited word count, and translations into multiple languages and coverage on major media and important social distribution points with the ability to drill down to specific interests, even zip code level targeting. Really good for marketers and PR/Comms pros. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
