PR essentials for startups

As a fully independent, founder-led PR and integrated communications agency without investors, we understand the thoughtful choices and prioritization needed to get any viable business off the ground. 

Because we are so passionate about entrepreneurship and promoting homegrown talent, we work with our clients to overcome business challenges and make the right strategic counsel accessible and actionable. 

Based on your current growth phase, we will recommend an approach with the highest return.

Public relations is a powerful earned marketing tool. Through media coverage, thought-leadership bylines, podcasts, or speaking engagements, you build the credibility and trust of the audiences that matter most.

Smart PR actively shapes narratives. Rather than letting the market define you, you control how your company, values, products, services and leadership team are positioned. This clarity helps you reach key stakeholders—customers, investors, partners, talent, and industry influencers—accelerating awareness and growth.

In crowded markets with constant competition, earned visibility builds credibility and momentum, helping you stand out, capture the attention of decision-makers who influence scaling opportunities, and establish the reputation you need to drive growth.

We will work with you collaboratively to:

  • Ensure brand key messages hit the mark

  • Refine your brand story to reach and engage your target audience

  • Develop web copy and all communications material

  • Develop media outreach materials and secure press coverage

  • Ensure all social media profiles and images communicate your business objectives

  • Train you as a brand and media spokesperson

  • Introduce your brand to the market through paid, owned and earned channels

  • Connect you with meaningful networking and exposure opportunities

  • Develop and execute strategic events

  • Provide honest, real-time counsel like an investor in your brand
