What AETOSWire does

AETOSWire is a Dubai-based international news distribution and press release wire service founded in 2008, operating as the exclusive representative of Business Wire in the Middle East region. The company provides rapid global news dissemination, regulatory-compliant financial disclosure services, online press kits, and interpretation services to PR/IR agencies, public and private companies, government agencies, media organizations, and law firms. The service portfolio is anchored by News Distribution and Financial Disclosure as core products, supplemented by a suite of content services including translation, copywriting, editing, proofreading, and transcription.

The platform is built on Business Wire's patented and proprietary news content distribution technology, which the company describes as the industry's only such system for rapid global dissemination. AETOSWire Connect serves as the secure account management and order entry interface, while NewsTrak Reports provides ROI analytics on coverage and social media conversation tracking around each press release. The company claims access to the most comprehensive worldwide media database among commercial newswire services and 20 global offices with 24/7 editorial staff support, enabling clients to reach global audiences from a single Middle East-based relationship.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: subscription-based fees for ongoing news distribution services, transaction fees for financial disclosure distribution, and professional services fees for content production. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year enterprise contracts typical across the customer base. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting listed companies with regulatory disclosure obligations and PR/IR agencies managing client communications, supported by a content marketing presence via the company website and published newsroom.
