Sorry, should have mentioned that press@ is a privately archived list.
It's where the press team may discuss pre-release information, along
with discussing ASF policy and the like, and thus is one of the few
lists that is not publicly archived.
Just email press@ with questions and they will be sure to include you
(or the list, as appropriate) with replies.

P.S. Some foundation-level lists, including press@, trademarks@, and
board@ - where the ASF may discusses either personnel or internal policy
matters - are the rare exceptions to the general concept that everything
that can be done on a publicly archived list should be done on a
publicly archived list. The private@ lists for all (P)PMCs are the
other privately archived exception.

In the past press releases were hacked about with on the private PR
list or on occasion the also private MarCon list, for obvious reasons.
Is there a policy for creating such marketing materials here at
Apache.

Apache has a Press team led by the wonderful Sally here:
http://www.apache.org/press/
Who tweets regularly:
http://twitter.com/TheASF
Any Apache press releases should be coordinated with them on
[email protected] - once the PPMC here has some specific questions about
publicity here, you should ping press@ to get a conversation started
there.
Note that the Apache Incubator has specific policies about press
releases for incubating projects:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/branding.html
In terms of *what* to say, it's up to the project to decide, and
typically just get any final signoff from press@. The ASF has a
corporate press release account and will issue official releases for
major news from any of our projects.
Oh, and the official ASF boilerplate is available:

Excellent, thanks for that Shane. I'll go over these before I work on a
draft and subscribe to the press list.
Assuming of course that this is a possibility
