08.23.2009 – PitchEngine, a new social platform that enables PR to effectively package stories featuring social content to better collaborate with journalists, bloggers and influencers worldwide, announced their "social global" initiative to bring next generation PR tools to communicators worldwide.
Beginning with the launch of PitchEngine Asia and a new realtime, real-people translation service, the PR service will begin offering translation, optimization and distribution services for their popular Social Media Release product starting in August.
Through a new, one-of-a-kind partnership with Reuters, PitchEngine users will have the ability to share company news with the single largest internet audience in the world, China. Through Reuters China, PitchEngine will enable users to put their news in front of 600,000 readers daily. In addition, user content will be distributed via Baidu, the world's third largest search engine.
"With the growing complexity of China's social media puzzle, companies can't afford to pass up the market, said PitchEngine Founder and CEO, Jason Kintzler, "We're about connecting brands with their influencers and these days they're all over the map."
Initial language capabilities include: Chinese Traditional, Chinese Simplified, Japanese, Thai, Russian, Arabic, French, German, Spanish, Vietnamese, Danish and Korean. PitchEngine's professional full-time translators aim to turnaround SMR translations within 48 hours at a cost of just $40 US per release.
"Our translators are human beings, not algorithms and the team we've compiled is stellar," said Kintzler.
PitchEngine's new offices in Shanghai and Guangzhou, China will serve as headquarters for localized content in the region. PitchEngine will launch the native site in Chinese in a few days with plans for more languages to follow close behind.
In less than a year, PitchEngine has been utilized by more than 9,000 brands worldwide which have generated more than 25,000 of the company's flagship Social Media Releases.
