About the software's developers

Virtual Press Centre software has been created by media relations and marketing company WPM Media. The company provides online editorial and web services to a number of clients in the UK.

Managing director Darron Hartas has been involved in the publishing industry for over 25 years, starting out first as a photojournalist and working his way up through writing, editing and then publishing specialist trade journals. He was responsible for the introduction of what was (at the time) the UK's largest online photography magazine, BJP Online, back in 1998.

With such a strong editorial background, the company was in an ideal position to understand the frustrations editors face every day when it comes to press release material. Although many companies now submit releases via e-mail, few get it right. We have listened to many editors and have built a system with the end-user (journalist) in mind.

WPS Media's involvement in the imaging industry has provided us with a deep understanding of image formats and compressions, so editors can be sure that images are located easily within your online press office. Once located, images are downloaded and uncompressed automatically with just one mouse click.

Our aim is to provide a very personal service. We know that every business is different and each will have differing needs when it comes to the creation, submission and management of press material. From the outset we will work with you to provide a system that will suit your exact needs.

We want to be able to set up your press office management system so that it will save you both time and money – and ultimately achieve your company or local authority added exposure across the media.
