What you get

PR built around commercial outcomes — because coverage that doesn't convert is just noise.

01

Positioning that differentiates

Every AI company claims to be "revolutionising" something. I help you find the angle that actually matters — the positioning that makes journalists, investors, and customers pay attention.

02

Funding announcement PR

Series B and C announcements need more than a press release. I build the narrative, prepare the briefings, and ensure your round generates the attention it deserves — with investors, customers, and talent.

03

Executive visibility

Your CEO should be the face of your category. Speaking opportunities, thought leadership, media relationships — built strategically over time, not opportunistically.

04

Competitive differentiation

In crowded markets, perception matters. I help you own a position in your space — through media, analyst relationships, and the strategic communications that shape how you're seen relative to competitors.

What a typical engagement includes

No long-term commitment required. The first conversation includes an honest assessment — your current visibility, competitive positioning, and specific opportunities.

Included

Media landscape analysis

Who covers your space, what they care about, and how to reach them. No generic media lists.

Included

Messaging framework

Clear, differentiated positioning you can use across all communications. Not a 50-page brand book.

Included

90-day PR roadmap

Specific opportunities, realistic timelines, and the activities that will actually move the needle.

Common questions

How do you measure PR success?

In business outcomes. Did the coverage drive traffic? Did it help close deals? Did investors mention it? I'm not interested in AVE or impression counts. If it didn't move the business forward, it didn't work.

We're pre-Series B. Is it too early?

Depends on your goals. If you're raising in the next 6 months, now is the time to build visibility. If you're still finding product-market fit, wait until you have something concrete to talk about.

Do you guarantee coverage?

No one can guarantee coverage — journalists make their own decisions. What I guarantee is that you'll have the positioning, materials, and relationships that give you the best possible chance. And I'll be honest about what's realistic.

What's the difference between this and a PR agency?

Agencies typically assign junior staff and run playbooks. I work directly with you, understand your business deeply, and think strategically about what will actually move the needle. No account managers, no monthly reports — just results.

Let's talk about your visibility goals

If you're a growth-stage tech company that needs PR which actually drives results, let's have a conversation about what's possible.

A note from Mark

Most tech PR is backwards. Agencies chase coverage, then try to convince you it mattered. The result is press clippings that make you feel good but don't change anything.

I've spent my career in the space between communications and commercial outcomes. At IndiVillage, I repositioned the company and closed the deals personally. At Truphone, I built the marketing function that supported a £100M+ raise. At Machani, I took a robotics company from zero visibility to CNN in months.

The common thread: PR that's tied to business results, not vanity metrics. If that's what you're looking for, we should talk.
