SAN FRANCISCO--()--Today, Business Wire (www.businesswire.com), a Berkshire Hathaway Company, and ITDatabase (www.itdatabase.com), a tech media research company, announced a partnership to provide Business Wire members with a 24-hour free trial offer as well as discounted subscriptions to ITDatabase products and services.
“The tech industry has always been fast-moving, but over the last five years the turnover rate at tech publications and the explosion of so many new tech bloggers has made it extremely time-consuming to keep track of who is writing about which tech themes, with what frequency”
Business Wire members who wish to learn more about these offers can activate a free trial of ITDatabase by visiting: http://www.itdatabase.com/bwpartnership/.
ITDatabase is the first media research tool designed specifically for public relations and marketing professionals in the tech industry. In addition to indexing content and contact info for tech authors (including contact info) at mainstream tech trades and daily / weekly publications – ITDatabase closely tracks more tech bloggers than any other research tool. Additionally, ITDatabase tracks journalists that cover tech in specific vertical industries, including (but not limited to): healthcare, retail, manufacturing, financial services, e-government and green tech / clean tech.
"For years, marketing and PR people have spent a huge amount of time digging around the Internet to find what's being said about tech companies and categories, and who is saying it," said Tony Barbagallo, VP of Marketing at WildPackets (www.wildpackets.com), a Walnut Creek, CA- based application performance vendor and Business Wire customer. "ITDatabase makes it easier to discover relevant tech authors and track what they are saying."
Business Wire members can take advantage of a 50% discount off the regular annual subscription cost of ITDatabase (http://www.itdatabase.com/bwpartnership/). Business Wire members will also have the exclusive opportunity to buy ITDatabase on a three month subscription basis if that better fits their needs and budget. Additionally, Business Wire members may take a 24-hour free trial of ITDatabase in order to evaluate the scope and functionality of the ITDatabase service.
"The tech industry has always been fast-moving, but over the last five years the turnover rate at tech publications and the explosion of so many new tech bloggers has made it extremely time-consuming to keep track of who is writing about which tech themes, with what frequency," said Laura Sturaitis, Senior Vice President, Media Services & Product Strategy for Business Wire. "We see ITDatabase saving a lot of time for professional communicators responsible for targeting tech industry reporters and bloggers for their marketing and PR research efforts, and we're extremely pleased to be able to offer such favorable pricing and discounts to Business Wire members to accomplish their communication goals.”
“It was important to us to partner with the press release distribution service that had the strongest roots with tech authors,” said Travis Van, Founder at ITDatabase. “There has been a lot of chatter over the last few years from upstart online press release services, but both our analysis and our customers’ feedback was very conclusive that tech news announcements transmitted via Business Wire continue to get the most traction. Now Business Wire customers have the added benefit of special access to the best possible tech media research tool.”
