Built for destinations
Coordinate your own team and every venue behind the season’s news.
embargo is press release software for destination marketing organizations and tourism offices. Your marketing, events and communications staff write together, venues and sponsors add their parts, and the announcement goes out at the minute you set.
Inside your organization
Your team, one draft
Write it together, and ask the people who know each part of the story for their quote or background, with a note on what to cover and a word limit. Your CEO approves the finished release from their own link.
Pick the headline together
Put up to five headlines, or five photos, to a vote. Everyone weighs in, and you make the final pick.
With venues, artists and sponsors
Every venue, its own section
Each venue, artist or sponsor gives its own part and approves its own words, then anyone you ask approves the finished release.
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.
On every release
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.
Launch day, on time
The release lifts at the minute you set, even at 6 a.m. on a Monday. Give travel writers an early look under embargo, and when it lifts, every venue can share it and post it on its own site.
