IntroductionPress releases play a pivotal role in building trust and credibility—especially in a saturated market like Japan’s. By distributing well-crafted announcements to major outlets, businesses can gain instant recognition among consumers and industry peers. In this article, we’ll explain how press release distribution fuels brand growth, why local media coverage is crucial, and how Ⅱ BASE can help you make a splash in the Japanese market.
What Is Press Release Distribution?
Press release distribution involves creating newsworthy content and sending it to various media outlets—from mainstream news portals to niche industry sites. When picked up by the right publications, your company benefits from:
- Brand Exposure: Reach local audiences who trust Japanese news sources.
- SEO Impact: While some paid placements use nofollow links, organic media coverage can lead to dofollow backlinks that boost your site’s authority.
- Thought Leadership: Position your brand as a credible player in your industry.
