The PR Firm Behind 20 Years of Supply Chain & Tech Exits
- Senior account team leaders. A company principal or senior team leader runs your account; someone with decades of experience in B2B tech and supply chain, not handed off to a junior account exec. You get the people who’ve done this since before “SaaS” was a common word.
- Earned media is what AI actually cites. Independent research on AI citation behavior across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity has found that the vast majority of what these tools cite traces back to earned, third-party coverage, not brand-owned content. Media relations was always our core service. Now it’s also the input GEO runs on.
- We’ve lived inside your industry, not just pitched it. Our team has backgrounds in engineering, manufacturing, distribution, dispatch, and field service, not just journalism. We know a TMS from a YMS from a WMS.
- A record that includes real exits. Clients we’ve represented have been acquired by companies including HP, Symantec, and Logility, and have gone public via IPO. We don’t just chase press; we’ve watched it move the needle on a cap table.
- Media relations: interviews, press coverage, and relationships with the reporters and editors who cover your industry
- Bylined articles and thought leadership: ghostwritten under your executives’ names for the trade press that matters to your buyers
- Press releases: written, distributed, and tracked, timed to real news.
- Award opportunity management: identifying, submitting, and promoting the industry awards worth winning
- Industry analyst relations: briefings and positioning with the analysts your prospects are already listening to
- Speaking engagement placement: getting your executives on stage at the events your buyers attend
- Content marketing and SEO/AEO/GEO: blog content and web copy built to rank with search engines and get cited by AI engines alike
- Social media curation: LinkedIn-first content and engagement built around your earned coverage, not around it existing in a vacuum
