VRITIMES tops 30,000 press releases and 7,000 clients in four years

VRITIMES says it has distributed more than 30,000 press releases for over 7,000 clients since launching in 2022, with around 70% of customers publishing their first release on the platform. The milestone underscores growing access to PR tools for SMEs and startups across Asia-Pacific.

Why it matters: - VRITIMES is trying to make press release distribution accessible to smaller businesses that traditionally could not afford it. - The platform says around 70% of its clients wrote their first-ever press release because of VRITIMES, suggesting it is expanding the market for corporate communications rather than just taking share from existing users. - The company’s reach now spans multiple Asia-Pacific markets, giving SMEs a lower-cost path to media visibility across borders.

What happened: - VRITIMES said on Oct. 5, 2026, in Jakarta, Indonesia, that it has distributed more than 30,000 press releases since founding in 2022. - The platform said it now serves more than 7,000 clients, led by SMEs and startups. - VRITIMES said around 70% of clients used the platform to write their first press release. - The company said its core markets include Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines.

The details: - Before VRITIMES entered the market, press release distribution was largely limited to large corporations with dedicated PR budgets. - VRITIMES built an affordable service intended for businesses of any size. - The company said more than 4,900 of its 7,000-plus clients had never issued a press release before using the platform. - VRITIMES said it has made press release distribution more affordable for businesses of every size. - CEO Ferry Bayu said the company’s goal was to make PR accessible and straightforward for businesses of all sizes. - Bayu said the first-time publisher figure is the strongest proof of what VRITIMES has achieved in four years.

Between the lines: - The milestone suggests demand for PR tools among SMEs is broader than the traditional agency-driven model served. - A platform that lowers distribution costs can also create new PR habits, not just new customers. - VRITIMES appears to be positioning itself as infrastructure for regional SME communications, not only as a distribution vendor.

What's next: - VRITIMES plans to expand its regional publisher network. - The company also plans to strengthen its media intelligence tools. - VRITIMES said it will continue pairing affordable pricing with regional distribution and performance analytics to help more SMEs publish news across the Asia-Pacific region.

The bottom line: - In four years, VRITIMES has turned press release distribution into a tool more accessible to SMEs, while building a client base that is creating first-time PR users across Asia-Pacific.
