What is Notified?
Notified is a communications technology company that combines public relations and investor relations tools in one suite, anchored by the GlobeNewswire press release network. PR teams use it for distribution, media contacts, monitoring, measurement and online newsrooms. IR teams use it for earnings webcasts, investor websites, regulatory news distribution and filings. It became an affiliate of Equiniti Group in 2025.
The appeal of Notified is having distribution, monitoring and media contacts under a single login. GlobeNewswire lets you target releases by geography, industry or media type across more than a thousand newslines, with translation and 24/7 editorial support. Newer features focus on AI visibility, such as optimizing releases for AI answer engines and tracking AI bot views and citations of your news. Customers in the US and Canada can also add CLEAR verification badges to releases.
