Built for agencies
Run every client release from one place, with your client’s approval on record.
embargo is press release software for agencies that write releases for clients. Your team drafts and runs the release, your client’s people write what’s theirs and approve the exact words, and when a client announces with other organizations, everyone works on the same page.
Inside your agency
A press kit for every client
Keep each client’s logo, boilerplate and media contact in its own press kit, and start a release from any of them. A client can have its own newsroom site when it wants one.
Your team, organized
Your team edits the whole release together, and each quote or background goes to the person giving it, with a note on what to cover and a word limit. Everyone sees what’s waiting on them, so nobody has to ask where things stand.
With your clients
Your client’s say, on record
A client authorizes your agency once, or for a single release, to write its press releases. You choose who approves each one, your client’s people included. If they revoke it, your people stop writing for them on releases still running.
Quotes from people who never log in
Your client’s executives get one link with what to say, how long it can be and a box to write it in. No account, no password.
With everyone else on the release
Joint releases, handled
When a client announces with other organizations, each one gets its own sections. The organization leading the release can hand your client’s part to your agency, and your team writes it once your client says yes.
Reminders that send themselves
Set a deadline and embargo sends the reminders: a countdown before it, then a nudge every two business days to anyone who’s late, at 9 in the morning wherever they are. Each day you get one note saying who’s late.
Out at the minute you set
Give reporters an early look through a press link with your embargo terms, switch it off at any time, and let the release go public the minute the embargo lifts.
Free for everyone you invite
Collaborators join from a link in their email, with nothing to install and no account to set up. Only the organization leading a release needs a plan.
