Drawing on both media insight and communications expertise, we know exactly which lines get an email archived — and which ones get a reply.
We are thrilled to announce a strategic milestone in our journey, revolutionising the industry with our best-in-class, synergistic solution.
Our client is a market leader poised for exponential growth, backed by marquee investors.
Three months after launch, the company has 1,200 paying customers and a founder willing to talk numbers.
Here's the actual problem they set out to fix, and why it wasn't obvious until they'd tried the wrong solution first.
Services
We help brands sharpen their narratives, build founder visibility, secure meaningful media coverage, and create long-term thought leadership opportunities — scoped to what the story genuinely needs, not a bundled retainer padded with reports nobody reads.
Direct pitching to reporters we know cover the beat — not a mass blast to a purchased list. We know what a good tip looks like because we've been the one deciding whether to run it.
Positioning, talking points, and interview prep that hold up under real questions — not just friendly ones.
Every company has red flags a good reporter will eventually find. We help you get ahead of the narrative instead of reacting to it.
Drafted with an editor's ear for what a publication will actually run, not just what a founder wants to say.
How we work
We walk you through the plan on a call before you ever see a slide — so you're shaping the pitch, not reacting to one.
01 / discovery
A working session to understand the business, the competitive noise, and what's actually worth telling.
02 / audit
The questions a skeptical reporter would ask, answered before they're asked.
03 / pitch cycle
Direct outreach to reporters and editors on the relevant beat, tracked end to end.
04 / relations
Ongoing media relationships so the next story doesn't start from zero.
Founders
We informally cross-trained each other for years before it ever had a name. We wanted to build something different — every client is led hands-on by senior leadership, from the first call onward.
Media insight
Years spent covering startups, fintech, and corporate finance for national and international outlets — reading hundreds of pitches a month, and knowing exactly which ones get opened.
Communications expertise
A comms career built on relationships across the press corps, translating a founder's story into the language a newsroom actually runs.
