siliconPR is a public relations consultancy specializing in communications for the hottest technology start-up companies. Like our clients, we're small, but agile, and we get big results: our clients are regularly covered in top-tier publications like The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg Businessweek, and The New York Times. Results go beyond the article count. Our launches and announcements generate sales leads, business development deals and build buzz around products and services. And our billing rates are half the rates of a traditional agency and we require no retainer!
We're experts at translating complex technologies into compelling stories. If you are launching a company or product, we can offer years of experience and a proven record of success. We offer honest, objective advice, thoughtful strategy and crisp execution.
"I refer my clients to siliconPR because I believe that they set the new gold standard in public relations. I am continually amazed at the coverage they get. Even if the technology is complex, they still manage to create a compelling story."
