1. Twitter drives more traffic than Facebook and Press releases need to be shared on many platforms to gain the best coverage

The three largest U.S. based social media channels, Facebook is tops when it comes to sharing news:

• Approximatly 40+ percent of press release sharing happens on Facebook.
• 30+ percent of sharing happens on Twitter.
• 15+ percent happens on LinkedIn.

But not all shares are created equal: despite Facebook’s more significant popularity for sharing, each share on Twitter drives about 30 percent more press release views than a share on Facebook.

1. Multimedia news enhances engagement more than text only.

We recommend that you include photos, videos, or audio to generate more views, shares, and clicks than text-only press releases. Adding an image to a press release increases exposure; adding a video and a photo doubles the engagement rate. Press releases that contain pictures, video, and audio generate the most attention.

Twitter has been more heavily used for news and business purposes in driving traffic back to press releases. This data reiterates the importance of creating engaging press releases that motivate people to share, whether pairing your release with a video or photo or simply creating a more tweetable headline. Since a single share can drive two new people back to your press release, optimizing sharing content can easily amplify your investment’s impact in news distribution.
