FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SEND2PRESS AND CYBERALERT FORM ALLIANCE THAT PUTS AFFORDABLE, EFFECTIVE, PRESS
COVERAGE, MEDIA MONITORING, AND MARKETING INTELLIGENCE SERVICES WITHIN REACH OF
SMALL BUSINESSES
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - MAY 21, 2003 /PRNewswire/ -- A new strategic alliance
between Send2Press (www.send2press.com) and CyberAlert Inc. (www.cyberalert.com)
will provide small business owners with a single-source solution for affordable
PR services, including news release writing and targeted distribution, and
cost-effective media monitoring and news clipping services, it was announced
today.
This alliance between two leading media technology companies will give
individuals and small companies access to Send2Press' highly skilled,
professional PR services, as well as CyberAlert Inc.'s news clipping services
from a single source. CyberAlert 4.0, an industry-leading media monitoring
solution, utilizes automated Internet-based technology to "read" and clip each
day more than 2.2 million pages of news content from more than 13,000
publications and broadcasters worldwide in 17 languages. The NetPinions service
monitors Usenet news groups and Web-based message boards and forums. A daily
e-mail alert containing the clips found during the previous day, is provided to
clients utilizing either or both monitoring service, and a web-based "clip book"
allows tracking, saving and printing of articles.
Send2Press is a division of Neotrope, a media relations, advertising, and
marketing company founded in 1983. Send2Press was launched in 1997 to take
advantage of the new technologies and cost-cutting potential of using the
Internet to deliver news releases to the media. New service packages available
today on the Send2Press website allow companies to order both news distribution
and editing services, as well as CyberAlert 4.0 and NetPinions media monitoring,
at discounted "bundle" pricing -- which is substantially less than if the
services were ordered separately from each company. Additionally, special
introductory pricing is available through June 30.
William J. Comcowich, CEO of CyberAlert, said, "The combination of Send2Press's
highly experienced and creative staff and CyberAlert's extensive suite of media
monitoring and news clipping solutions provides substantial benefits for small
businesses seeking a one-stop solution to disseminate their corporate, product
and service announcements to the media and to track news placements, articles,
and what people are saying about a company and its products."
"Small businesses can now gain the same kind of news placement and marketing
intelligence previously reserved for large corporations willing to spend vast
sums on PR, traditional clipping services, and market research," said
Christopher Simmons, Neotrope president and founder. "Combined with our
affordable and highly targeted news distribution and wire service offerings,
news writing and media relations, and now CyberAlert media monitoring solutions,
Send2Press is a single source for news dissemination and tracking."
