No other PR firm assigns their best PR staff to your account—teams with experience on the front lines of selling to top executives and across marketing, product marketing, and engineering—customers precisely like yours.

Clients Seek Us Out to Win New Customers & Markets<

The careers of MediaFirst staff focus on the promotion of technology. Clients claim we execute superbly, understand complexity, and communicate in the authentic vocabulary of your customer and industry. The firm was founded by Jim Caruso, bringing a background in the convergence of telecommunications, computing, and new media. Our first clients were from Canada, France, the UK, Thailand, and the USA. Jim's success in winning contracts at British Telecom, NYNEX, and GTE (now both Verizon) attracted these first clients. Our effectiveness creates new customers and opens new markets for our clients. Clients seek out MediaFirst's unique market understanding and efficiencies, such as PR that brings both market awareness and funding, acquisition, or exit.
