Have you ever attempted to plan a surprise party or an event requiring time-sensitive information? If so, you are aware of how taxing this procedure may be.
Most of the worry associated with planning such an occasion consists of ensuring that the birthday boy or girl does not discover the surprise before the event. Nobody enjoys a ruined surprise party, correct? Well, no one appreciates press releases that spoil company news, either.
Distribution can be difficult, especially when dealing with corporate news that is not yet well recognized. To prevent news from leaking while simultaneously coordinating press release distribution and media outreach initiatives, many businesses leverage the embargo features of a service.
What is an Embargoed Press Release?
A corporation sends an embargoed press release to media outlets requesting that the material not be published until the company publishes the information. The request for an embargo must be sent to the outlets by the corporation or PR firm responsible for the company's communications plans.
Consider briefly the previously described scenario in which you are throwing the surprise party. What would happen if the secret was revealed and the surprise failed? The worst-case scenario would be that a substantial amount of output would have been invested in an unsuccessful plan.
The opposite is true at the corporate level. Companies have suffered, and jobs have been lost owing to time-sensitive information being released to the public. In one extreme instance, Apple imprisoned 12 former employees for leaking confidential information. Because of these reasons, embargoes are highly useful instruments.
Some material is disclosed owing to an oversight of the marketing and communications department. These information dumps are comparable to those that have harmed the reputations of high-level executives at businesses like Equifax, Dow Jones & Company, and Tesla. Some of the largest corporations have endured public reactions due to information leaks. That should not be you!
By efficiently utilizing the authority of an embargo request, you accomplish three things:
