A press release turns company news into coverage — and the fastest way to write a good one is to start from a strong example. Below are press release examples for the announcements companies make most often, from product launches and partnerships to events, earnings, milestones, and awards. Each one shows the structure, gives you a reusable template, and links to what you need to write and distribute your own over the wire.
The anatomy of a press release
The format barely changes from one announcement to the next. Here's how the six pieces fit together — the numbers on the sample map to the breakdown beside it.
- 1
Headline
One clear line stating the news. Lead with the outcome, not the setup.
- 2
Dateline
City, state, and date, so editors know where and when the news broke.
- 3
Lede
The opening paragraph answers who, what, and why it matters.
- 4
Body
Supporting detail, data, and a quote from a named spokesperson.
- 5
Boilerplate
A short standing description of your company.
- 6
Contact
Name, email, and phone for media follow-up.
Examples by type
Pick the announcement you're writing. Each example breaks down the structure and gives you a template to start from.
Product Launch
Announce a new product, feature, or platform. Lead with what's new and why it matters, then back it with availability, data, and a quote.
View example →Partnership
Announce a partnership, collaboration, or program. Name both parties up top, then explain what the partnership does and who benefits.
View example →Event
Promote a conference, presentation, or appearance. Cover the who, what, when, and where up front, and give readers a reason to attend or tune in.
View example →Milestone
Mark an anniversary, rebrand, or major company moment. Put the milestone first, then the story behind it and what comes next.
View example →Earnings Release
Report quarterly or annual results. Lead with the headline numbers, then add context, guidance, and a quote from leadership.
View example →Awards
Mark an award, ranking, or recognition. Name the honor and who granted it, then connect it to the work that earned it.

What is a press release?
A press release is a short, factual announcement a company sends to journalists and publishes to the wire to share news — a product launch, a funding round, a new hire, and so on. It's written in a standard format editors recognize, so the news is easy to pick up and run.
What should a press release include?
A headline, a dateline, an opening paragraph that answers who and what and why it matters, a body with supporting detail and a quote, a boilerplate describing your company, and media contact information. The six pieces above cover the full format.
How long should a press release be?
Most run 300 to 500 words — roughly one page. Long enough to give an editor the full story and a usable quote, short enough that the news isn't buried.
How do I write a press release?
Start from the example that matches your announcement above. Each one shows the structure for that type and gives you a template, so you're filling in your details rather than writing from a blank page.
How do I distribute a press release?
Once it's written, distribute it over the ACCESS Newswire wire to reach journalists, newsrooms, and financial outlets. If you'd like help writing it first, the Content Pro team can draft and edit it for you.

Press Release Examples
Earnings Press Release Example
How to report quarterly or annual results — with a real example from a public company on the ACCESS Newswire wire, a breakdown of why it works, and a template you can copy.
What an earnings release does
An earnings press release reports a public company's financial results for a quarter or year. It leads with the headline numbers, gives leadership room to interpret them, then backs everything with detailed financials and the disclosures regulators expect. It's the most structured release type — investors, analysts, and journalists all read it the same day it drops, so clarity and accuracy matter more than style.
A real example
ACCESS Newswire Reports First Quarter 2026 Results
In May 2026, ACCESS Newswire reported its Q1 results. It's a model earnings release: a plain, findable headline; a themed subhead; a short bulleted list of the headline metrics up top (ARR, Adjusted EBITDA, revenue, margin, cash flow); CEO and CFO quotes interpreting the numbers; a detailed financials section with period-over-period comparisons; non-GAAP reconciliation tables; conference-call details; and the required forward-looking-statements language.
Read the full release →How it's built
An earnings release follows a stricter structure than most — here's how this one handles each part.
- 1
Headline
Company, reporting period, and "Results" — deliberately plain and consistent, so each quarter's release is instantly findable.
- 2
Subhead & metric bullets
The earnings signature: a themed subhead plus a short bulleted list of the headline numbers, so investors get the story in seconds before reading further.
- 3
Dateline & lede
Company (with ticker) reports results for the period ended a specific date. Brief and standard by design.
- 4
Executive quotes
CEO and CFO quotes interpret the numbers — strategy and momentum from one, financial discipline and outlook from the other.
- 5
Financial detail
A highlights section with line-by-line results and period-over-period comparisons, KPIs, non-GAAP reconciliation tables, and conference-call details.
- 6
Boilerplate & compliance
The "About" paragraph, contacts, the required forward-looking-statements note, and the full financial statements attached at the end.

Earnings FAQ
What is an earnings press release?
It's a press release in which a public company reports its financial results for a quarter or year — the headline numbers, leadership commentary, detailed financials, and the disclosures regulators require.
What should an earnings press release include?
A plain headline with the period, a subhead and bulleted headline metrics, a brief lede, CEO and CFO quotes, a financial highlights section with period-over-period comparisons, KPIs, non-GAAP reconciliations, conference-call details, forward-looking-statements language, and the full financial statements.
Do I need forward-looking-statements language?
If you're a public company, yes. The safe-harbor language protects the company when it discusses expectations, guidance, or future performance. It's standard at the end of every earnings release. This isn't legal advice — confirm the exact wording with your counsel or IR firm.
When is it distributed?
Typically before the market opens or after it closes, and coordinated with the related SEC filing and the earnings call. Timing is tightly managed so all investors receive the information at once.
How do I distribute an earnings release?
ACCESS Newswire offers dedicated earnings press release distribution and earnings call support built for public companies. If you'd like help preparing it, the Content Pro team can assist.
