Write a Press Release for an Announcement

Journalists receive hundreds of press releases and read almost none of them. The ones that get coverage lead with the actual news in the headline, answer the key questions in the first paragraph, and do not bury the interesting part in paragraph four. This prompt applies the standard AP-style press release format journalists expect.

Pro tips for better results

โœ“The headline should contain the news - not your company name and not adjectives like 'exciting' or 'revolutionary'
โœ“Write the press release assuming the journalist will read only the first paragraph - put every critical fact there
โœ“Ask the AI to also write a short email pitch (3-4 sentences) you can use to send the press release to specific journalists

Why this prompt works

Most people write one-line prompts and get generic, surface-level AI responses. This prompt is engineered to produce expert-level output because it bakes in three principles that meaningfully shift response quality:

Role assignment

It tells the AI to act as a specific professional (a marketing & seo expert), activating more relevant knowledge and shifting away from generic advice.

Structured output

It specifies the exact response format - numbered steps, comparisons, risk ratings - so you get organized, actionable answers instead of a wall of prose.

Context anchoring

The slots you just filled force the AI to ground every recommendation in your specific situation instead of defaulting to textbook advice.

For sharper output, use this prompt with Marketing Copilot - it already has marketing & seo expertise built in and ships output in the format you expect.
