Cranberry News Marketing, Inc. announces the launch of Cranberry Gist, a next-generation news marketing service that helps small and mid-sized businesses package and distribute their news for a new generation of news consumers. Cranberry Gist helps companies target distribution through native advertising, social channels and proven content marketing strategies.

Using persona-marketing techniques originally championed by acclaimed online marketers Bryan and Jeffrey Eisenberg, the compact gist format delivers a more relevant news experience to consumers through a simplified persona methodology. To build a news gist, companies answer four simple questions about their news. When paired with Cranberry pay-per-click news marketing services, companies are able to target all four macro personas in a voice that captures their attention.

“Online news marketing has changed dramatically in the past three years, making many online PR strategies, including search engine optimized press releases, irrelevant. We really lost a lot of search engine visibility in the last several years,” explains Cranberry Founder David McInnis. “With Cranberry Gist, we are breathing new life into news marketing as a content marketing discipline that reaches beyond search and social optimization.”

Based on the concept of Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) news distribution that McInnis perfected at PRWeb, Cranberry Gist clients can share all their news, from blog posts and press releases to news stories and news videos. Since Cranberry Gist is platform agnostic, having been tested with all major newswires and content management systems, it is a valuable add-on to existing press release and news distribution efforts.
