CMOs Use Press Releases to Drive Website Traffic, Leads, and True Value?
Sep 8, 2021
For the longest time, press releases were a piece of content companies hoped would make the phone ring and lead to media opportunities.
Usually, the process went something like this.
A company would have an announcement. They'd write a press release and the Chief Marketing Officer would round up their team and encourage them to call and/or email their usual contacts and tell them they had a story.
Sure, they'd get some pick-ups here and there, but were they impactful?
Did they build brand awareness? Leads? True value the CEO would be impressed with?
"Many companies think press releases can only be used when they have a big announcement," said Charlie Terenzio, CMO and SVP of Media and Marketing Communications at Newswire. "That couldn't be further from the truth. At Newswire, we use press releases as a marketing vehicle that delivers our clients' messaging whether it's a thought leader piece, a recent award, or anything in between, directly to their target audiences and relevant media publications."
As an industry leader in press release distribution, Newswire helps small and midsize companies earn media mentions and make a name for themselves in their respective industries through its Media Advantage Program (MAP) and its enriched press release distribution network.
In fact, this year alone, companies that are part of Newswire's MAP have collectively earned hundred of media mentions in publications such as Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, CNBC, and USA Today, to name a few.
This disruptive program for all the right reasons is helping companies create newsworthy stories, launch targeted campaigns, provide reports on overall performance, and continually refine messaging and strategies to meet and exceed their clients' marketing goals.
"The actual press release is only one part of the MAP," Terenzio explained. "We're helping our clients pinpoint and expound on topics their target audiences actually care about to generate earned media opportunities and additional content pieces that can be used on their website, social media, email campaigns, and more."
Newswire's approach combines its SaaS technology and the expertise of its Media and Marketing team to help Chief Marketing Officers earn the results they need to succeed in their position. Results like increased website traffic, improved search engine rankings, and attracting more marketing qualified and sales qualified leads, are some of the positive outcomes companies that are part of Newswire's MAP can expect to achieve.

Butcher Boy earns Bib Gourmand distinction in 2027 Michelin Guide
MANILA, Philippines — Butcher Boy has earned a Bib Gourmand distinction in the 2027 Michelin Guide Philippines, moving up from its Michelin-Selected status in the 2026 edition and joining a select group of restaurants recognized for serving quality food at accessible prices. The recognition was announced during the official awarding ceremony at the Manila Marriott Hotel on Thursday, Oct. 29, attended by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Butcher Boy was among only two restaurants promoted from the Michelin-Selected category to Bib Gourmand this year. The distinction recognizes establishments that offer good-quality food at reasonable prices. Butcher Boy Philippines CEO Dino Chua received the award, marking another milestone for the restaurant, which has continued to establish its presence in the local dining scene. The recognition follows the restaurant's opening of its new and expanded location at Alabang West Parade along Daang Hari Road in Muntinlupa City in 2026. Led by Chua, the move marked a new chapter for the brand, allowing it to reach more diners in southern Metro Manila while maintaining its signature contemporary Asian-fusion cuisine. Originally founded by Michelin-starred chef Andrew Walsh of Singapore's acclaimed Cure, Butcher Boy built its following at its former Makati location before relocating to Alabang to accommodate a bigger dining space and connect with a wider community. Its culinary approach combines Southeast Asian flavors with Western cooking techniques, offering dishes such as its signature chicken laksa dumplings, fried chicken bao, Asian tacos, pork adobo and a variety of steaks, alongside carefully crafted cocktails. The chicken laksa dumplings were among the dishes highlighted by Michelin inspectors. During the restaurant's grand opening, Marketing Head Aubrey S. Mojica described its concept as “where east meets west,” emphasizing that while the menu had been expanded, the restaurant remained committed to preserving the quality, atmosphere and dining experience that patrons had come to expect. Mojica also underscored the importance of customer service, saying the restaurant's identity goes beyond its food to include the experience it provides to diners. With its latest Michelin recognition, Butcher Boy strengthens its position in the Philippine dining scene, bringing its combination of Asian-fusion flavors, steaks and accessible dining to the Alabang community. Butcher Boy is located at Alabang West Parade, Daang Hari Road, Muntinlupa City. For reservations, call 0939-868-0531.
