Media Relations: Join Our Global Platform and Build Strong Media Outreach - Sky is the limit!
Who we are
Essential information about our company, mission, and culture
Company Overview
VRITIMES.com is an online press release distribution and media platform operated by VRIGroup, an integrated business group founded in Tokyo in 2022. The platform is designed to make it easier and more affordable for companies, startups, schools, governments, NGOs, and other organizations to share their news with journalists, media, and the public at large. The platform combines three main functions in one place: Press Release Creation – Users can draft press releases directly on the site, adding titles, content, images, links, and company information. Media Distribution – Once published, the press release appears on VRITIMES.com and is distributed to a network of journalists and media partners across various countries and sectors. Analytics and Reporting – Users can then monitor performance via a dashboard, viewing metrics such as views and publication results to understand which topics and markets are generating the best responses. VRITIMES.com also functions as a news-style portal. Visitors can browse press releases by country, category, and topic—such as technology, finance, real estate, education, tourism, and more. This dual role as both a media site and a distribution hub helps increase the visibility of each press release, compared to merely posting news on a company’s website or social media. One of its key positioning factors is accessibility: the pricing structure is simplified and more affordable than many traditional global newswire services, making professional PR exposure more accessible for SMEs and startups. Additionally, VRITIMES publishes educational content on how to write and effectively utilize press releases, supporting users who may be new to the world of PR. In short, VRITIMES.com is an all-in-one infrastructure for creating, distributing, and measuring press releases—with the goal of facilitating the flow of information from organizations to the media and ultimately to consumers.
Mission
At VRITIMES, our mission is to build an information infrastructure for society—an open, reliable, and accessible channel that connects those with stories to share with the people who need to know them. We believe that meaningful information should not be exclusive to large corporations or those with hefty PR budgets. For this reason, we have made the process of creating, distributing, and measuring press releases simple, transparent, and affordable for organizations of all sizes—startups, SMEs, schools, governments, NGOs, and communities. When more voices can be heard, society becomes better informed, dynamic, and resilient. Through VRITIMES.com and the broader VRIGroup ecosystem, we are building a platform where information flows efficiently: from businesses and institutions generating news, to journalists and media who verify and amplify it, and ultimately to the public who use this information to make better decisions. Our role is to provide the technology, structure, and data that ensure this flow runs smoothly. We are committed to reducing friction between organizations and media, supporting journalists with clean and reliable content, and empowering emerging markets and local players to stand on the same stage as global brands. Ultimately, our mission is to ensure that valuable information flows freely within society, allowing knowledge, opportunities, and progress to be shared more widely with everyone.
Culture
At VRITIMES, our culture is built around three core pillars: Mission, Passion, and Action. We place great emphasis on aligning every aspect of our work with our mission—to create an open, accessible, and efficient information infrastructure for society. This mission is the driving force behind everything we do, guiding our decisions, strategies, and efforts. Passion fuels our team's dedication to this goal. We believe in the value of meaningful information and its impact on communities, businesses, and individuals. Our passion keeps us motivated, driving us to innovate, improve, and provide the best services to our users and partners. However, passion alone is not enough. We understand that to achieve our mission, tangible results are needed, which is why we emphasize the importance of Action. Our team is committed to taking proactive steps, executing strategies, and moving from discussion to implementation. We believe in working hard and taking actions that lead to real progress, not just talking about it. By combining Mission, Passion, and Action, our team is not only united in purpose but also determined to make a meaningful and lasting difference in the world of information and media.
