You’re bringing in media operators who know how to block, neutralise, and redirect attention before it sinks funding rounds, partnerships, or exits.Schedule Your Confidential Consultation Today.
Our Services
You Don’t Have Time to Google Your Way Out of a Crisis. We work with founders, CEOs, CTOs, and executive teams across high-pressure sectors: AI, SaaS, Web3, cybersecurity, fintech, and consumer tech. If you've made a mistake, been misquoted, or landed in media crosshairs—you don't need a PR brochure. You need results, and fast.You’ll get straight access to our crisis team. No delays, no junior reps, no monthly "strategy" calls. This is urgent PR built for the speed and scrutiny of the tech sector.
Crisis Risk Audit (24–48 Hour Response)
Before anything else, we map the threat. What's live, what's brewing, what's being shared. We run a fast-turn analysis across press outlets, tech news platforms, search results, social chatter, and investor chatter. You’ll know what’s out there, how far it’s spread, and what it’s costing you in perception and control.
Book A CallReactive Media Messaging
You’ll get statements that stop the bleeding. Clear, accurate, controlled responses to media outlets, blog editors, and anyone else running stories. Messaging is built to defuse—not feed—the outrage cycle. We also prep scripts and language for you and your leadership team so you don’t wing it in interviews.

Press Liaison & Reporter Intercepts
We directly approach tech journalists, editors, and platforms covering your brand. This includes TechCrunch, Sifted, Wired, and niche tech blogs. Our role is to set the record straight, redirect narratives, and pull back misinformation. We work behind the scenes and under strict confidentiality.
Book A CallFounder Coaching for Live Commentary & Media Appearances
If you're about to go on record—TV, podcast, LinkedIn post—we’ll prepare you to say only what matters, and nothing you’ll regret. We strip the unnecessary details, stick to safe facts, and protect your credibility under pressure. Live sessions, no scripts, all substance.

Online Visibility Control & Search Containment
We look at your online footprint: Google News, YouTube, Twitter/X, Reddit, blogs, search engines. Then we push corrective content to re-index top positions and lower visibility of unfavourable pieces. We collaborate with SEO teams to shift SERPs (search engine result pages) using entity-based publishing and authority signals.
Book A CallVC & Stakeholder Communications
Your board, investors, and advisors don’t want headlines—they want answers. We draft investor updates, internal memos, and retaining statements that show leadership under control. You keep confidence high without giving away legal exposure.

Live Crisis Monitoring & Trend Mapping
During active firestorms, we monitor sentiment velocity and narrative trends. This includes keyword spikes, sentiment scoring, search frequency, and social virality. We’ll alert you before a small mention becomes a trending topic. No dashboards. Just direct briefings.
Book A CallPost-Crisis Media Positioning
Once the dust settles, we help you reposition. That might be founder interviews, company wins, or thought leadership on neutral platforms. You don’t bounce back with a tweet—you rebuild by reasserting public trust. Quietly, selectively, and on your terms.If you need this, it’s already late. Book your consultation now.

This isn’t your average PR agency. You won’t find us posting brand updates on Instagram or writing thought pieces on storytelling. We handle mess.
You’re hiring people who understand media tempo, crisis psychology, search index behaviour, and how VC-backed tech founders get thrown under the bus fast.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything brands usually ask before starting a press campaign with us.
How soon can you start?
We’re operational within hours. Emergency briefs are taken the same day.
Can you remove stories from search engines?
We can't erase headlines, but we push corrective content and re-index to control visibility and reduce narrative impact.
Will you ghostwrite for me?
Yes. All statements, commentary, even LinkedIn posts can be drafted and reviewed privately.
Do you deal with social media firestorms?
Yes. We handle backlash across Reddit, Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn, and public forums.
What if media already contacted us?
Do not reply until we’ve reviewed it. We’ll prep the response or liaise directly with the journalist under our name.
How do you track what's being said about us?
We use query-matching, sentiment scoring, Google Alerts+, social tracking APIs, and media beat analysis. You get genuine-time email intelligence, not unnecessary details dashboards.
Do you work with our in-house comms or legal?
Yes. We coordinate with existing internal teams to align on statements and minimise exposure.
Get Control Before This Gets Worse
If your name’s already out there, if your inbox is full of press requests, or if your investors are asking questions—it’s time. We’ve seen early-stage startups lose funding over a quote. We’ve seen founders lose credibility in 48 hours. This is not a maybe situation.Book your private consultation now and take the first step to neutralising the fallout.This is not PR for attention. This is PR for damage control.
