PresseBox
B2B press release distribution and digital PR for technology and industry
About PresseBox
PresseBox is a German press service run by UNITED NEWS NETWORK GmbH in Karlsruhe that publishes and distributes B2B press releases, events, and job posts for technology and industrial companies. Customers manage content in the MyBox dashboard, and PresseBox pushes it to its own newsroom, Google News, partner portals, and D-A-CH or international distribution lists, with success statistics and optional monitoring. Packages are tailored per company by a personal consultant.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Long-running platform (over two decades) with a large, indexed archive of B2B tech and industry press releases
- Strong reach in the German-speaking D-A-CH market, including partner trade portals and Google News
- Service team uploads and checks releases, which saves time for small PR teams
- Personal consultant and phone support instead of a self-serve-only model
- Optional copywriting and translation for companies without in-house PR writers
Cons
- No public prices; every package is quoted after a consultation
- Focused on German-speaking B2B technology and industry, so less useful for consumer brands or other regions
- Many partner portals and features (monitoring, own distribution lists) cost extra as add-ons
- Few independent user reviews on major software review sites
