Writing Tips for Acquisition Releases
- Both parties should approve the press release language before distribution.
- Explain what the acquisition brings: team, technology, customers, market access.
- Address the acquired company's customers directly — reassure them.
- If financial terms are disclosed, include them; if not, state they are undisclosed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I announce an acqui-hire as an acquisition?
An acqui-hire (where you acquire a team, not a product or company) is typically a smaller announcement. Brief your key press contacts individually rather than issuing a formal wire release.
