Marketwired can be viewed as one of Newswire Now’s top competitors. Marketwired’s headquarters is in Toronto, Ontario, and was founded in 1983. Marketwire put a lot of emphasis on social media targeting. Marketwired and Nasdaq joined forces in 2016 providing interesting benefits to both client bases. The acquisition allowed for Nasdaq’s corporate clients to gain access to the social media and analytics tools that are a part of Marketwired’s offerings. The merger integrated Marketwired’s tools into the GlobeNewswire. It’s intended to enhance communication tools and intelligence to better serve investor relations and public relation aspects of the corporations they serve. Like Newswire Now, Marketwired also works within the Publishing industry. Business Wire is one of Newswire Now’s top rivals.
Business Wire was founded in 1961, and its headquarters is in San Francisco, California. Like Newswire Now, Business Wire also works within the Publishing field. Business Wire is said to the best PR distribution service for big companies. Business Wire, which is under Berkshire Hathaway, has a long history as a distribution service and is well regarded as having a strong SEO component. Generally speaking, Business Wire is more expensive than other platforms and, to some; it might be considered the enterprise service of the group.
