Introduce the reader to what’s new. A new partnership, product, service, or achievement? Tell us all about it, just keep it short and to the point. Being excited is ok, but don’t go all crazy here either or sales focused. Being humble is the key here.

Press releases have a standard format that you should follow:

• Title
• Summary ​(4-5 sentences, in bold)
• Main text​ (2-3 paragraphs)
• Boilerplate(s)​ (a 4-5 sentence description of what your company does)
• Contact details​ (not for publication)

Here you can find a great example:
