Issuer Direct Corporation is Now ACCESS Newswire Inc. and Launches Industry's First Pure Communications SaaS Subscription Model

In This Article:

ACCESS Newswire Inc. (NYSE American:ACCS) (the "Company" or "ACCESS Newswire") announced today that the Company has changed its corporate name from Issuer Direct Corporation to ACCESS Newswire Inc., marking a strategic evolution that unifies its communications technology brands under a single identity. The comprehensive rebrand, effective immediately, represents a pivotal moment in the Company's 19-year history.

After the name change, ACCESS Newswire remains committed to providing exceptional public relations ("PR") and investor relations ("IR") solutions and delivering the same high level customer service to its existing and future customers.

Effective as of the market open today, January 27, 2025, the Company's Common Stock will be listed under the NYSE American Exchange ticker symbol "ACCS". No action is required by existing stockholders with respect to the name and ticker symbol changes.

"This transformation goes beyond a simple name change," said Brian R. Balbirnie, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of the Company. "By bringing together our strong industry brands - Accesswire.com, Newswire.com, and Pressrelease.com - under the ACCESS Newswire banner, we are creating a unified communications platform positioned to better serve our global client base."

Along with the rebrand, the Company is launching three comprehensive fixed fee subscriptions designed for modern communications professionals:

  • ACCESS IR: Essential investor relations tools and distribution

  • ACCESS PR: Comprehensive public relations and media outreach

  • All ACCESS: Complete suite of communications solutions subscription

Packages range from an average $1,000 to $2,500 per month, delivering integrated storytelling, distribution, monitoring and targeted outreach capabilities for communications professionals, and predictable monthly recurring revenue (MRR) for the Company.

ACCESS Newswire has outlined an ambitious technology roadmap for 2025:

  • Proprietary AI engine deployment

  • Wikipedia-style business profiles launch

  • Integration with leading social marketing platforms

  • Advanced tonality engine introduction (late Q3/Q4)

Currently serving more than 12,000 clients globally, we believe ACCESS Newswire is positioned to become the third-largest newswire service by mid-2025. The Company's new brand identity is supported by the tagline "We love you more," reflecting its strengthened commitment to customer success and innovation in the communications technology sector.

Mr. Balbirnie continued, "Our volume-based growth strategy has established a strong foundation for our subscription platform launch. With our expanded market presence and new subscription tiers, we believe we are well-positioned to continue our upward trajectory while maintaining operational excellence and healthy margins."
