AP is the wire America's newsrooms already trust
Associated Press, founded in 1846, is the oldest and largest news cooperative in the world, owned by the very newsrooms that depend on it. When a story runs on AP, it is picked up by thousands of local and national outlets in a single news cycle, from ABC and NBC affiliates to metro dailies and regional broadcasters. It is also one of the sources most heavily cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, so a single AP placement compounds across earned media, syndication and AI search for years.

What our clients say
"The AP placement gave us instant national credibility. Local outlets in three metros ran versions of the story the same week, and inbound went up sharply from that point on."
"An AP story is the first thing we send enterprise prospects now. Buyers who used to want references on the first call started skipping straight to pricing."
"An AP feature put us in front of institutional partners we could not reach cold. The article has paid for itself many times over in new revenue."

What clients ask before booking
Is this a real Associated Press editorial placement, not sponsored content?
Yes. It is a genuine authored editorial placement, written by a journalist and published under a real byline on an Associated Press editorial property. No "Sponsored", "Partner content" or "Paid" tag on the live piece.
Will my Associated Press piece reach other newsrooms?
Very often, yes. Associated Press is a news cooperative that supplies content to thousands of member newsrooms in the US and abroad, so an AP story is regularly picked up by ABC and NBC affiliates, metro dailies, regional broadcasters, and international outlets. Reach beyond apnews.com is common but is not guaranteed for every article.
How long until my AP placement is live?
Most Associated Press placements publish within 2 to 6 weeks of sign-up. Rush timelines are often available. Every timeline is confirmed in your agreement before you pay.
What if the placement does not publish?
You receive a full refund. The money-back guarantee is written into your client agreement. This is why 3,548 clients across 37 countries trust Baden Bower with their PR.
Can I use the Associated Press logo on my website afterwards?
Yes. Every Baden Bower client receives a downloadable AP press logo, an as-featured-in kit, and the live URL. You can use them on your homepage, sales pages, investor deck, LinkedIn, email signatures, and paid advertising.
Does an Associated Press placement qualify as evidence for an O-1 or EB-1A visa?
Yes. Associated Press is recognised by USCIS adjudicators as major media, and authored editorial coverage on AP qualifies as published material about the applicant relating to their work. Learn more about visa publicity packages.
Do I need to be famous or already have press coverage?
No. Baden Bower places founders, executives, authors and consultants across every stage of visibility, from first-ever placement to seasoned media veterans. Our editorial team builds the angle Associated Press's audience wants to read.
How is an Associated Press placement priced?
Associated Press placement is a one-time flat fee covering the full authored editorial placement, guaranteed publication, live URL, and downloadable press logo. Every purchase is backed by our money-back guarantee, written into your client agreement.
