Blueprint

AB Newswire White-Label PR Retainer Build (5-7 days)

Stand up a recurring white-label press release and editorial placement service on AB Newswire, priced for local and B2B clients while the agency keeps its own brand on every report.

Prerequisites
  • Agency account opened through the AB Newswire Get in Touch form, with white-label reporting, correspondence, and deliverable branding confirmed in writing
  • One signed pilot client with a live announcement, funding event, or service launch worth syndicating
  • A 600-word release draft and one approved image ready for the Standard tier submission
  • Branded report template (agency logo, colors, contact block) prepared for the distribution summary AB Newswire returns on completion
  • A named delivery owner who can turn releases around inside the 2 business day Standard processing window
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Submit the AB Newswire Get in Touch form and request written confirmation that reports, correspondence, and deliverables carry the agency name only
  • 2.Ask the account contact to clarify turnaround expectations for Standard and Premium tiers before any client work is promised
  • 3.Log the account contact and escalation path in the delivery runbook
  • 1.Place a low-risk test order on the Standard tier at $15/month using an internal or house announcement
  • 2.Confirm the release lands on the standard news portal network and syndication partners
  • 3.Check that the distribution report arrives on completion and carries no AB Newswire branding
  • 1.Map the pilot client's announcement to AB Newswire's core functions: press release syndication, sponsored editorial links, brand mentions, or founder interviews
  • 2.Draft the release to the Standard tier's 600-word ceiling and attach the single approved image
  • 3.Route the draft through client approval with a fixed sign-off deadline
  • 1.Submit the approved release for distribution to the standard news portal network and syndication partners
  • 2.Track the order against the 2 business day Standard processing window
  • 3.Prepare the branded coverage summary shell so the report can be populated the moment placement confirms
  • 1.Pull the completed distribution report and rebuild it inside the agency's branded template
  • 2.Flag any syndication issues or missing regional and national placements to the AB Newswire account contact
  • 3.Deliver the branded coverage summary to the client with the placement list and live links
  • 1.Quote the client a monthly retainer covering one release per month plus optional sponsored post or brand mention placements
  • 2.Set the retainer price so the $15 Standard and $45 Premium tiers sit well below the client-facing fee
  • 3.Draft the retainer scope around the AB Newswire functions the client actually needs, not the full catalogue
  • 1.Lock the monthly delivery calendar: draft by day 5, client approval by day 10, submission by day 12
  • 2.Brief the delivery owner on the Premium tier upgrade path (800 words, up to three images, 1 business day priority processing) for time-sensitive client news
  • 3.File the runbook, test order results, and pilot report as the reusable template for the next client
$15-$45 per release at list, with volume bundles negotiated directly with AB Newswire; a pilot month plus one client release lands under $100 in tool spend5-7 days
ROI Logic

A single Standard release costs $15 and a Premium release $45, while the productized Local Press Starter retainer bills at $330/mo for one release plus reporting. That spread covers the 4h setup and 2h/mo delivery load with margin left over, and the Premium tier's 800-word limit and 1 business day priority processing justify a higher retainer for clients with time-sensitive news. Volume bundles are negotiated with AB Newswire directly, so agencies that stack five or more client retainers can push per-release cost down further without changing the client-facing price.

Deliverables
  • White-label AB Newswire account with branding, reporting, and correspondence confirmed under the agency name
  • Completed test order and distribution report validating the submission-to-report workflow
  • Branded coverage summary for the pilot client listing every placement from the standard news portal network and syndication partners
  • Monthly retainer scope sheet mapping client needs to AB Newswire functions (press release syndication, sponsored posts, brand mentions, founder interviews)
  • Delivery runbook with the monthly calendar, tier selection rules, and the AB Newswire account contact
Definition of Done

The pilot client has received a branded coverage summary built from a completed AB Newswire distribution report, and a signed monthly retainer is in place with the release calendar and tier rules documented.
