Press Release Writing in Derry
Writing press releases for Derry organisations, with a caveat worth stating first — most business announcements are not news to anyone outside the business, and a release about something journalists will not cover is effort spent on a document nobody reads.
Why this comes up
The problem
Something has happened that feels significant, and a press release is the assumed response without anyone establishing whether a journalist would consider it a story.
What you get
What we deliver
- An honest view on whether this is news to anyone outside your organisation
- The angle identified — what makes it interesting to that publication's readers
- A release written in the format journalists actually work from
- The genuinely usable quote, since most supplied quotes get cut
- Targeted distribution to relevant journalists rather than a broad wire
- Supporting material ready — images, data, someone available to speak

Press Release Writing in Derry — common questions
- Is our announcement actually news?
- Often not, and it is worth establishing before writing anything. New appointments, office moves and product updates are significant internally and rarely to a journalist's readers. Something genuinely novel, or data nobody else holds, is a different matter.
- Does distribution over a wire work?
- It produces syndicated placements of limited value rather than coverage. A relevant journalist who already writes about your sector, approached individually with something that suits their beat, is worth more than a thousand automated placements.
- Why are our quotes always cut?
- Because they say nothing. 'We are delighted to announce' contributes no information, so it is the first thing removed. A quote that makes a point, states an opinion or provides a fact survives, because it is doing something for the reader.
- What else does a journalist need?
- Usable images, any underlying data, and someone available to answer a question quickly. A story that requires chasing for a photograph or a comment frequently gets dropped for one that arrived complete.
- Do you work with businesses across County Londonderry?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Northern Ireland, including Derry and the surrounding County Londonderry area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Derry businesses do you usually work with?
- Cross-border trading systems for businesses working into Donegal, and manufacturing tooling for the north west. Beyond that we work across Manufacturing, Healthcare, Higher Education, Digital and Tourism.
- Do you cover the areas around Derry?
- Yes — we work throughout Northern Ireland, including Belfast, Lisburn. Derry is an urban area of roughly 85,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Londonderry region rather than the city boundary alone.
