The Benefits of Sponsored Placement
Sponsored Placement delivers the reach and visibility of branded content by creating an editorial placement that links to the press release in a patented native article format. Exclusive to PR Newswire, the Sponsored Placement fits seamlessly into a publisher’s news feed by matching the visual design and function of the website. Once clicked, the Sponsored Placement directs a reader to the content in a sponsored editorial format right within the publisher’s site, driving three times more engagement than traditional digital ad placement.
“This partnership will enable brands to deliver more targeted messages across their earned and paid channels,” said Nicole Guillot, Chief Operating Officer for Cision. “Our Sponsored Placement offerings now enhance a brand’s ability to reach a much wider audience to drive authentic engagement with their consumers through their messages in a way that is both valuable and intuitive for audiences.”
“This partnership between two respective leaders in communications and digital advertising will accelerate the convergence between earned and paid media,” said Justin Choi, Nativo’s Founder and CEO. “More than ever, brands need to engage consumers with authentic stories, and this partnership lets them do that at scale with a new level of control, measurement, and insights.”
