What a press release is

A press release is a formal announcement written to inform readers and journalists about news from your organisation. Unlike sponsored content, which tells your story at length, a release leads with the news itself: what happened, when, who is involved and why it matters. On vaeyc it is published as a clearly labelled announcement so readers always know it is company-supplied rather than independent editorial.

• Editorial review for accuracy, clarity and suitability before it goes live.
• A focused audience of educators, school leaders and EdTech professionals.
• Clear disclosure that the release is company-supplied.

How to submit a press release

1. Prepare your release — lead with the news, include the essential facts and a quote.
2. Send it to our press desk via the contact page or [email protected], with any embargo date.
3. We review for accuracy and suitability and confirm placement and timing.
4. We publish and label the release to our readership as company-supplied.

What to include in your release

• A clear, specific headline that states the news.
• The essentials up top: what, who, when, where and why it matters.
• At least one quote from a named spokesperson.
• Accurate, verifiable details — no exaggeration.
• Relevant links, an image or logo, and a contact for follow-up.

When to send your announcement

Time your release to the news: a product launch, a funding round closing, a major partnership, a key hire or a programme milestone. Send it ahead with a clear embargo if you need coordinated timing. Announcements land best when the news is genuinely new and the details are locked, so a release rarely needs correcting later.
