What do I get with the $299 News Publication package? +
You receive a professionally written and formatted article published in the URBTNews.com Business Section, a custom featured image, a feature on our in-house investor podcast, and a permanent SEO-indexed URL you can share in your investor relations materials. No investor email blast is included at this tier.
Who receives the 1 million investor email blast? +
Our list consists of active retail investors, OTC market participants, accredited investors, and market watchers who have opted in to receive investment news. These are people actively engaged in the market — not passive general readers. The blast is included in the $1,000 Investor Visibility package and in the monthly Financial Publicist retainer.
How does the Financial Publicist media pitch work? +
Each month we prepare a pitch deck on behalf of your company and CEO and distribute it to our database of 10,000+ media outlets and podcast shows. This is an active outreach campaign asking journalists, hosts, and producers to feature your CEO or cover your company story. Placement results vary based on your company's sector, news cycle, and story strength, but our database spans financial media, business podcasts, and investor-focused shows.
What is the $1,000 onboarding fee for the Financial Publicist package? +
The one-time $1,000 onboarding fee covers your company profile build, media database intake, first pitch deck creation, and a strategy call with your dedicated publicist. This ensures everything is set up correctly before the first month of outreach begins. From month 2 onwards, you pay only the $3,500 monthly retainer.
What does the monthly Financial Publicist retainer include each month? +
Every month you receive: 2 articles published on URBTNews.com, 1 in-house podcast feature, 1 investor email blast to 1,000,000 subscribers, a pitch deck distributed to 10,000+ media and podcast outlets, custom featured images for all content, a Monthly Visibility Report showing your article views, email delivery stats and outreach summary, priority 48-hour publishing turnaround, and a dedicated publicist contact for ongoing strategy.
How quickly will my story be published? +
Standard turnaround is 3–4 business days from submission of your finalized content and payment. Financial Publicist retainer clients receive priority 48-hour publishing. Rush placements may be available for other tiers — contact us to discuss.
Is the $299 or $1,000 price going up? +
Yes. Both the $299 and $1,000 rates are introductory prices. As demand for our Business Section grows and our investor list expands, both rates will increase. There is no fixed date for when pricing changes — we recommend locking in your rate as soon as possible.
Can I start with the $299 package and upgrade later? +
Absolutely — and many companies do exactly this. Start with the $299 News Publication package to get your story on the record and see the quality of our work. When you're ready to amplify, upgrade to the $1,000 Investor Visibility package or the Financial Publicist retainer. Each package stands alone and can be purchased independently at any time.
