Traditional Agencies
An international press release through a traditional agency typically costs $2,000-$5,000, takes 2-4 weeks to reach outlets, and reach depends on the agency's personal network.
The MADIAD Approach
Using Global Press Distribution (GPD) — an automated network that distributes to 100+ trusted international outlets across 165+ countries within 2-4 hours. Starting from $20 per release.
Direct Comparison
| | Traditional | MADIAD | |---|---|---| | Cost | $2,000-5,000 | From $20 | | Time | 2-4 weeks | 2-4 hours | | Reach | Agency-dependent | 100+ trusted outlets | | Scale | Labor-dependent | Unlimited |
When to Choose Each?
Traditional is better when you need personal relationships with specific journalists. MADIAD is better when you need scale, broad coverage, and budget optimization.
