PrecisionIR Group

What PrecisionIR Group does

PrecisionIR Group operates as a corporate communications and investor relations services provider, offering the ACCESS Newswire platform that combines two integrated products under a unified subscription model. ACCESS PR is a press release distribution and media relations platform that provides global syndication, a built-in media database of verified journalist contacts, real-time social and media monitoring, targeted pitching, and AI-powered analytics. ACCESS IR is an investor relations platform built for public companies, delivering IR website design, build, hosting, and ADA compliance, as well as fully-branded earnings call webcasts with US-based operators, disclosure tools, and dedicated event managers. The two platforms share a single login and account team, positioning the company to serve the private-to-public transition without requiring customers to change vendors.

The business operates on subscription, bundle, and pay-as-you-go pricing for distribution services, with monthly, quarterly, and annual terms and no required annual lock-in. Revenue mechanics combine high-volume, lower-priced distribution transactions (entry pricing starts at $415) with premium recurring revenue from enterprise IR services such as managed webcasts and compliance-grade IR websites. The customer base spans growth-stage private companies through global public enterprises, with disclosed logos including Merck, Moderna, LG, Sherwin-Williams, Kohler, and Blackberry. The company is headquartered in Boston, was founded in 1989, and operates with 101–250 employees.

The technology stack emphasizes workflow integration rather than proprietary AI: AI is embedded as a feature layer via AI-powered editorial scoring, a proprietary LLM Citation Score that measures press release retrievability across ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, and the AImee generative tool for drafting and editing releases. Distribution reach is global, with US-based account managers and earnings call operators supporting public-company disclosure requirements. ADA compliance is positioned as a standard feature of the IR website offering.
