Agency Partner Program: White-Label Press Release Distribution in France

Last Updated on 21 September 2026 by Francois Marsteau

If your clients occasionally need coverage in France, you have three options: turn the work away, subcontract it to a French agency and explain a second name on the invoice, or distribute it yourself under your own brand. This page is about the third. You keep the client, the branding and the margin. We handle the French newsroom.

The economics, in one table

We publish our retail prices, so there is nothing here you cannot verify on our pricing page. A France distribution is a one-country plan.

TierYou payPer releaseRetail valueYour margin
Three releases€585€195.00€1,185€600
Five releases€745€149.00€1,975€1,230
Ten releases€1,195€119.50€3,950€2,755

At the ten-release tier you commit €1,195 and hold €3,950 of distribution at our own published rate. That is a 230% return on what you put in — and your client pays no more than they would have paid coming to us directly.

This is the part worth understanding properly. You are not marking our price up. You are buying at a volume rate and selling at the market rate. Nobody is overcharged, and there is no number you would be uncomfortable defending if a client asked.

The same structure applies beyond France

One, two, three and four-continent scopes sit between the two, at the rates published on the pricing page.

What white label means here

It means your client never encounters our name. Reports and deliverables carry your branding, not ours. We do not contact your client, we do not appear on anything you forward to them, and we do not market to them afterwards.

What you send us is a release and a target sector. What comes back is a distribution and a report you can put your own letterhead on.

Why this matters commercially

The reason agencies hesitate to subcontract French distribution is rarely the price. It is the risk of introducing a supplier who becomes visible to the client, and then becomes the client’s supplier. Removing our name from the deliverable removes that risk.

Why France specifically

Plenty of newswires will list France among the countries they cover. Fewer work from a French list built and maintained in France. We have distributed to French media since 2009 from roughly 80,000 French journalist email contacts, sorted into approximately 135 journalistic and thematic categories.

That distinction shows up in the targeting. A release aimed at French construction trade press is a different selection from one aimed at national business dailies, and a regional angle in France often travels further than a national one — France has an unusually dense regional press.

The practical detail foreign campaigns underestimate most is language. French desks work in French, and a release sent in English is a tip somebody would have to rewrite. We sell translation as an option, including in packs, because it is usually the step that decides whether a campaign lands. We go into this in more detail in how to distribute a press release in France.

How it works

  1. You tell us what you need. Volume, scope and whether translation is part of it. We confirm the tier and invoice once.
  2. You draw on the pack when a client has news. Packs are not tied to a single campaign or a single client of yours.
  3. You send the release and the target sector. In French, or in English with translation added as an option.
  4. You approve before anything is sent. Nothing is distributed without your sign-off on the final version.
  5. You receive the distribution report, unbranded, ready to forward under your own name.

Distribution runs six to 72 hours from submission, and most of that window is approval time rather than ours. The detail is in how long press release distribution takes.

What we do not promise

We would rather lose a partner at this paragraph than at the first campaign.

We do not guarantee coverage. French newsrooms decide independently what they publish. Distribution puts an announcement in front of the journalists who cover the subject; the news decides the rest. Any provider quoting you a guaranteed number of French articles is selling advertising under another name, and you will not be able to defend it to your client.

We do not promise that every release is a fit. If your client’s news has no relevance in France, we will say so before you spend a release on it.

There is no exclusivity in either direction. You are not our only partner in your market, and you are free to use anyone else.

Frequently asked questions

Will my client know that 24Presse handled the distribution?

No. Reports and deliverables carry your branding, not ours. We do not contact your client, we do not appear on anything you forward, and we do not market to them afterwards.

How much margin does an agency actually make?

At the ten-release France tier you pay €1,195 for distribution we retail at €3,950, a margin of €2,755. You are not marking our price up: you buy at a volume rate and sell at the published market rate, so your client pays what they would have paid coming to us directly.

Can I use one pack across several of my clients?

Yes. Packs are not tied to a single campaign or a single client. You draw on the pack whenever one of your clients has news that belongs in France.

Does the release have to be in French?

In practice, yes. French newsrooms work in French, and a release in English is something a journalist would have to rewrite before using. Translation is available as an option, including in packs of three or five.

Do you guarantee coverage in French media?

No, and no honest provider does. French newsrooms decide independently what they publish. Distribution puts the announcement in front of the journalists who cover the subject; whether they write about it depends on the news.

Is there exclusivity, or a minimum commitment beyond the pack?

No to both. There is no exclusivity in either direction, and the pack is the whole commitment. You are not our only partner in your market and you remain free to use other providers.

Tell us how often France comes up.

One line is enough: your market, roughly how many client announcements a year could involve France, and whether you need translation. We will come back with the tier that fits and an honest answer if the volume does not justify a pack yet.
