Innovative PR solutions by news aktuell

A pioneer in the digitalisation of PR since 2000

For over two decades, news aktuell (Switzerland) AG has been setting new standards in modern PR communication with its innovative solutions. We tapped into communication channels before they became a standard: as pioneers in the digital distribution of press releases and as trailblazers for Digital-out-of-Home (DOOH) placements of PR content.

Our PR solutions combine industry expertise with innovation and are tailored to the day-to-day work of PR professionals and media practitioners. They therefore focus precisely where it counts: on the reach, visibility and measurable impact of your communication activities.

As an integrated ecosystem, our PR tools support modern corporate communications:

  • Distribute your press release via ots to thousands of editorial offices
  • Use renteria to find the right media contacts
  • Boost your visibility with Native Ads and Display Ads

news aktuell thus provides comprehensive support for your PR work – all from a single source.
