What 24-7PressRelease.com does

24-7PressRelease.com is a self-serve press release distribution service operating since 2004, incorporated in British Columbia, Canada as Dragstrip Designs Marketing Inc., with a U.S. mailing address in Seattle. The platform distributes customer-submitted press releases to a network of media outlets, search engines, and financial platforms including Google, Yahoo Finance, MarketWatch, Benzinga, Bing, Digital Journal, AP Newsroom, Nexstar broadcast affiliates (ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX), FinancialContent, MarketMinute/CloudQuote, and GoCanada, plus resold PR Newswire national wire access on the top tier. It serves a horizontal customer mix spanning private companies, PR agencies, individuals (authors, musicians, consultants), ASX-listed and public companies, non-profits, and government entities, with an Agency Discount Program and Writing Services add-on for higher-volume and content-light customers.

The product is a tiered, transaction-based newswire offering six plans ranging from a $29 Simple Post (on-site only) to a $479 Mass Media Visibility (premium national wire), with most-popular anchor at $139 (Media Pro) and best-value at $199 (Integrated Media Pro+); every plan includes guaranteed publication placements from 100+ to 500+, multimedia support, and geo-based analytics. Distribution is augmented by an Affiliate Program paying $15 per referred customer via Commission Junction, and reach is extended externally through News Widgets and RSS Feeds. The service is delivered through a digital self-serve website with payment processed via Stripe, PayPal, and 2Checkout, and offers no public API or SDK.

The business is small and privately held with 1-10 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no parent or subsidiary structure. GTM is sales-led only in the sense of self-serve e-commerce: customers sign up online, choose a plan, submit releases through an account-based portal, and rely on next-business-day publication. Pricing has remained stable for 20 years, the company maintains an A+ BBB rating since 2008, and leadership is a three-person team led by co-founders Michael Iwasaki (President, Founder, Managing Partner) and David Wong (Founder, Managing Partner), with Phil Louie as Vice President.
