PRWeb, the online news distribution service of Vocus (NASDAQ: VOCS), announced today it has partnered with FinancialContent, a leading provider of financial content solutions. Through the partnership, PRWeb will provide FinancialContent with a feed of its premium news releases for syndication through their financial network, which spans 250 publishers and more than 2,000 branded media outlets online. The partnership significantly increases the number of news sites that pick-up news releases from PRWeb customers, both public and privately-held.
“FinancialContent is a leader when it comes to providing solutions in the financial and business vertical to Web publishers,” said Jiyan Wei, director of Product Management for PRWeb. “They work with major media organizations across the U.S. so this is an incredible opportunity for our customers to have the reach of their news releases increased on a large scale.”
FinancialContent has developed a reputation as an industry leader by providing stock market data, business news and content syndication services to major news organizations including SFGate.com, CBS Interactive, UPI.com, SignOnSanDiego.com and more.
“PRWeb represents one of the largest contributors of business news, products and event information to the FinancialContent platform,” said Wing Yu, CEO of FinancialContent. “The growing archive of PRWeb content covers a vast array of industries and product categories.”
This partnership continues the momentum gained by recent partnership announcements with major Web publishers including StreetInsider.com as well as social media related partnership announcements with Photobucket and Zemanta. PRWeb is actively expanding its network of partners in order to increase the potential exposure for its customers, a potential reach that currently counts more than 80 million unique visitors in the United States and 300,000 direct bloggers and journalists.
“The early indications are extremely positive,” continued Wei. “We’ve already seen dramatic increases in the number of sites picking-up our customer’s news releases through this partnership and we expect that trend to continue.”
