What is a partnership press release?

A partnership press release announces two organizations doing something together: an integration, a co-developed product, a distribution deal, or a joint venture. The failure mode of this format is announcing the relationship instead of the result. "X partners with Y" is not the news; what a customer can do now that they could not do last month is.

When should you use one?

Announce when there is something usable: the integration is live, the joint product ships, the first location opens. A signed memorandum of understanding earns no coverage. Both partners approve the final text before it moves and both distribute it, so agree on the quote lineup and the send date up front; partner sign-off is the step that slips.

AI prompt: partnership press release

Write a partnership press release using the facts below. Follow these rules exactly:

- Third person throughout. First person only inside quotes.
- Structure: headline naming both companies, what launched, and who it serves (under 100 characters); one-sentence subheadline with the customer outcome and availability; dateline paragraph opening "CITY, State — Month Day, Year —" introducing both companies in one line each and stating what the partnership produces and its availability; a how-it-works paragraph with one shared number attributed to the companies; one quote from a named leader at the first company (add a second from the partner only if provided); an availability paragraph ending with the URL; an About boilerplate for each company; a media contact block.
- No author byline. No first-person narration. Attribute any statistic to a named source. Around 400 words. Plain text, no markdown.

MY PARTNERSHIP FACTS (replace before running):
- Company A: {NAME, ONE-LINE DESCRIPTION}
- Company B: {NAME, ONE-LINE DESCRIPTION}
- What launched: {INTEGRATION / JOINT PRODUCT / DEAL, IN PLAIN TERMS}
- Customer outcome: {WHAT CUSTOMERS CAN DO NOW}
- Availability: {WHO CAN USE IT TODAY, COST}
- Shared number: {CUSTOMERS, MARKETS, OR VOLUME, WITH SOURCE}
- Quote from: {NAME, TITLE, COMPANY} (optional second: {NAME, TITLE, COMPANY})
- Boilerplates: {COMPANY A DESCRIPTION} / {COMPANY B DESCRIPTION}
- Contact: {NAME, EMAIL, PHONE}

The rules in the prompt produce a release formatted to pass wire editorial review: third person, no bylines, attributed statistics.

Frequently asked questions

Should both partners be quoted?

One quote from each company is the convention, and one each is the maximum. The two quotes should say different things: one on why the combination makes sense, one on what customers get.

Who distributes a partnership press release?

Usually both companies, with identical body text and each using its own boilerplate and contact block. Agree on the send date and time in writing; simultaneous publication is part of most partnership announcements.

Is a signed agreement newsworthy by itself?

Rarely. Coverage follows things customers can use. If the integration ships in six months, announce it in six months when someone can turn it on.
