Short answer: the best senior-led tech PR firm depends on your market. For senior strategists only, working with VC-backed B2B tech, Crackle PR. For a senior tech-only team in New York, San Francisco and London, SourceCode Communications. For a mid-sized firm where the most experienced people do the client work, Stanton. For B2B fintech, Red Fan Communications. For a fully remote independent tech team, Bospar. For New York enterprise tech and adtech, Kite Hill PR. For tech and finance storytelling, Channel V Media. For funding rounds and launches, Treble. For senior-led programs in several countries, Clarity. For guaranteed placements on named publications without a long retainer, Jamco PR.

Full disclosure: this guide is written by Joseph Tannous, founder of Jamco PR, which is one of the firms below. We've tried to be fair about when each firm is the better choice, including when that isn't us.

The most common reason companies leave a PR agency is that the senior people who won the pitch disappear once the contract is signed. Senior-led and boutique firms promise the opposite: fewer clients per person and experienced people writing, pitching and advising. The trade-off is less reach across markets and disciplines than a large network.

Boutique or big agency?

Choose a boutique if…Choose a large agency if…
You want senior people writing and pitching every weekYou need many markets, languages or disciplines at once
You have one or two clear priorities, such as a raise or enterprise credibilityYou need crisis, public affairs and analyst relations under one roof
You were let down by a junior account teamYour company is large enough to command senior attention anywhere

How to check that a firm is really senior-led

  • Ask who will write your pitches and talk to journalists each week, by name
  • Ask how many clients each senior person handles
  • Ask to meet the account team before you sign, not only the founder
  • Check that the people in the pitch are named in the contract or proposal
  • Ask what is guaranteed, and what is only pitched

How we chose these firms

We included smaller and mid-sized tech PR firms that describe senior-led delivery, a senior team or a boutique model on their own websites, and checked each one's focus, locations and services there. We noted published prices where a firm shares them.
