The press release I wish I could send out

When I looked at my marketing campaign brief for October, one of the items is the $10,000 scholarship. This press release immediately came to mind:

Student Loan Network $10,000 Scholarship Will Be Awarded on Halloween

Quincy, MA –

The Student Loan Network blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah industry leading blah blah blah blah blah blah leader blah blah blah blah affordable blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah landmark blah blah blah blah historic blah blah blah blah serving families blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah customer service blah blah blah blah blah blah

We’re giving away $10,000 on Halloween to one lucky student. www.StudentLoanNetwork.com/10K.

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah President and CEO said, “blah blah blah blah blah blah leadership blah blah blah we care blah blah blah number one priority”. Blah blah blah savings blah blah blah blah blah blah thought leader blah blah blah blah blah blah competitive blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah full suite blah blah blah blah oh my god are you still reading this blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Internet blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah serving tomorrow’s blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Sadly, this isn’t quite the level of professionalism expected in a press release, even if it’s 100% accurate and gets the point across nicely. Why is it most press releases are full of fluff?
