PR Newswire-Virginia Technology Alliance Membership Advantage

One of the Virginia Technology Alliance’s ongoing goals is to help its member councils gain visibility with the media and investment communications.  With this in mind, the VTA has teamed up with PR Newswire to assemble a comprehensive program of communications services designed especially for the technology industry.  These state-of-the-art resources are designed to keep your news prominently positioned in front of vital audiences: technology journalists, consumers, lobbyists, shareholders, financial analysts, industry analysts, and the public at large.  In addition, PR Newswire increases your web presence by reaching over 3,600 Web sites, databases and online services – including the top 10 most heavily trafficked Web sites.

Get Noticed, Increase Sales

More than 40,000 organizations worldwide – including small businesses – choose PR Newswire, the world's largest electronic distributor of news releases, to distribute their news and information. PR Newswire members benefit because editors and reporters across the globe read their releases. A well-placed article, even in a local publication, can often lead to significant business rewards. Whether you use local advertising, telemarketing, a sales staff or simply work solo on the phone, you need to communicate your message and increase the profile of your company.  Sending out a news release is an excellent tool you can use to help achieve your marketing goals.
