MarketWire

Marketwired (formerly Marketwire) was a global press release distribution and media intelligence company that served as a vital communication link for the life sciences industry. While not a biotechnology or pharmaceutical developer itself, the company was a primary platform used by healthcare organizations to announce clinical trial milestones, regulatory approvals, and financial results. It provided specialized distribution circuits targeting medical journals, healthcare reporters, and financial analysts across global markets. The company was particularly noted for its integration of social media monitoring tools, allowing companies to track public sentiment and engagement around their news. In 2016, Marketwired was acquired by Nasdaq to bolster its corporate services division, and its assets were later integrated into Notified.
