TORONTO & BANGKOK--(MARKETWIRE)--Apr. 23, 2008
Marketwire, a full-service newswire and communications workflow solutions provider, has greatly expanded reach for its clients’ news into the South-East Asian region by entering into a local-language distribution agreement with Thai Business News, a leading provider of translation and news distribution services in Thailand.
Thai Business News (www.thaibusinessnews.com) provides translation, distribution and clipping services to companies needing premier distribution of news and multimedia content to the Thai media. Thai and English language news is sent to daily newspapers, magazines, newswires, Internet sites, radio and television stations, and categorized according to 14 industry sectors. The company also maintains comprehensive distribution to financial markets and investors, and makes all news releases available to subscribers via RSS feed based on language and category.
“Reaching audiences in Thailand and other emerging markets is increasingly important to our global client base,” said Bernadette Lee, vice president products
and partners, Marketwire. “Working with Thai Business News, we are able to give our clients unparalleled distribution into Thailand, allowing their messages to reach a young and literate audience of 65 million Thais with a median age of 30.5, who are increasingly connected to the global business community.”
Marketwire clients benefit not only from increased penetration for their news into Thai media and financial outlets, but also from Thai Business News’ expansive domestic clipping services.
“Thai Business News is delighted to be able to assist Marketwire in building a comprehensive Asian distribution network and to be a part of its continued growth,” said Dennis Cookson, Thai Business News founder and Reuters country manager in Thailand from 1997-2002. “Marketwire’s innovative culture and commitment to customer service is an inspiring combination.”
