Press Release Strategy for Fintech Brand Growth: The 2026 Playbook That Actually Moves TVL, Users, and Valuation
Fintech isn’t won in the product — it’s won in the narrative. The fastest-growing brands in 2026 (the ones raising at 10× multiples, signing Tier-1 banks, and hitting $100 M TVL before Series B) all have one thing in common: they treat press releases as a growth engine, not a check-box activity.
At PRWires.com, we’ve built and executed press release strategy for over 2,100 fintech brands — from seed-stage DeFi protocols to publicly listed neobanks. We know exactly when to go loud, when to stay quiet, which angles get you on the Forbes Fintech 50, and how to turn a $249 release into millions in earned media value.
Why Most Fintech Press Release Strategies Fail (and How Winners Fix It)
Most founders treat PR as an event → one release when they raise money, silence for 18 months. Winners treat PR as a system → 6–12 strategic releases per year, perfectly timed, relentlessly optimized.
The result?
- Compound domain authority that makes SEO free
- Permanent media relationships that turn into exclusives
- A public growth narrative that becomes your best fundraising asset
- Warm enterprise pipelines that close themselves
Right now, our Christmas press release deal, press release holiday bundle, and press release bundle offer let you pre-purchase your entire 2026 strategy at the lowest press release rates we’ve ever run.
