MBAGuide’s Press Release Publishing and Placement Service has the right to refuse the publication of any press release that does not comply with the following guidelines. In the case of refusal, full refunds will be issued.

Editorial Requirements

Language

All press releases that are submitted for press release distribution must be in English.

Poor Headlines

The headline lacks a news angle and/or attribution to the source distributing the press release.

Advertisement or SPAM

The press release reads like an advertisement or SPAM. Examples of these words and phrases include FREE, “Make Money”, “Don’t miss this opportunity!”, SALE!!!!

Poor Newsworthiness

The press release does not have sufficient news value for distribution.

Poor Writing Quality

The press release is poorly written and/or does not make sense. It is written in narratives outside the format of a press release (e.g., advertisements, articles, listicles, blogs, op-eds, or feature pieces, with first or second person and non-objective narratives).

Lack of Credible Contact Information

The press release contains incomplete or lacks credible contact information.

Keyword Spamming

Blatantly excessive keywords or phrases in the headline and body of the press release.

Prohibited Content

To maintain the integrity and professionalism of our platform, we have established the following guidelines for press release submissions. These standards ensure that all content is relevant, newsworthy, and appropriate for business schools.

  1. Expected Purpose of Release: All press releases must clearly convey an announcement or message from an identifiable entity, such as a business school or educational institution. The source and purpose of the release should be clearly stated in the first paragraph.
  2. Unsubstantiated Claims: Unverified claims, such as guaranteed acceptance into educational programs or promises of specific salaries upon graduation, are not permitted unless backed by credible sources and evidence.
  3. Personal Opinions: Content must be directly related to business school announcements, achievements, or news. Personal opinions or commentary unrelated to these topics will not be accepted.
  4. Blog Posts: General interest articles, “open letters,” or similar content lacking attribution or news value are not suitable for press release distribution.
  5. Inappropriate Associations: Content that falsely implies an official association with government entities or agencies will be rejected.
  6. Unauthorized Comparisons: Any comparison involving another company’s products, services, or entities must have proper authorization. Unauthorized use of such comparisons will result in rejection.
  7. Celebrity Mentions: Any mention of a celebrity’s name or likeness must be accompanied by authorized consent from a verifiable source such as a legal representative, estate manager, or management team.
  8. Piggybacking on Third Parties: Unauthorized use of another issuer’s name, brand, or ticker symbol without proper consent is prohibited.
  9. Self-Promotion: Press releases focused solely on self-promotion to enhance an individual’s personal profile are considered non-newsworthy and will not be distributed.
  10. Prohibited Content: Submissions that promote or incite hatred, bigotry, racism, violence, or harm toward individuals or groups are strictly prohibited. This includes defamatory content, attacks on individuals or entities, malicious attempts to affect a company’s stock, or any material that seeks to degrade or victimize others. Additionally, press releases offering investment advice, promises of profit or passive income, claims of financial advantage (e.g., increased wealth/savings), or promoting get-rich-quick schemes, multi-level marketing (MLM), and networking marketing programs will not be accepted. Content containing sexually explicit material, illegal content, profane language, or promoting press release distribution services is also strictly prohibited. This combines all the conditions into one cohesive guideline while maintaining clarity and professionalism.

By adhering to these guidelines, you help ensure that all press releases distributed through MBAGuide’s platform maintain a high standard of quality and relevance for business schools and their audiences.
