Media relations and tier one placements
Named reporters on their actual beat, worked through pitch, follow up, and briefing.
We pitch the trade press, developer newsletters, and business desks your buying committee actually reads, then point that coverage at your rankings and at the AI answers where vendor shortlists now get built. Outlet tiers, placement targets, and dates go in writing before kickoff, behind a 100% guarantee: you get the agreed results or your money back.
The stakes
Most teams searching for a B2B tech PR agency are not starting from zero. You win the technical evaluation. You have a founder who can hold a room. And you have rivals who somehow get quoted every time a reporter writes about your category.
Nothing breaks loudly when technology PR underperforms. Enterprise deals take nine to eighteen months, so a program producing nothing measurable hides behind your own sales cycle for three quarters.
Meanwhile a CISO builds a shortlist from what peers, analysts, and trade publications keep repeating, and a competitor's byline gets forwarded around your target account because it explained the problem well. Then a technical buyer asks ChatGPT which vendors are worth a call, and the answer names three companies. Fourth place is not in the answer at all.
The work
Every scope starts from your closed won deals, the publications your prospects name on sales calls, and whoever currently owns the share of voice you want.
Named reporters on their actual beat, worked through pitch, follow up, and briefing.
The titles a generalist agency has never heard of, which is where a technical buyer's shortlist gets formed.
Bylined articles, contributed columns, executive Q&As, podcast and newsletter placements, and executive LinkedIn programs. B2B buyers trust people before they trust brands.
Funding rounds, product and platform launches, integrations, partnerships, senior hires, and acquisitions.
Surveys, anonymized product data, and benchmark reports shaped into a story an editor will defend in a news meeting.
Your subject matter experts placed inside stories reporters are already writing, the fastest route to a tier one byline.
Conference season worked as a campaign rather than a scramble.
Breach disclosure, outage response, and holding statements written before the reporter's email arrives.
Earned placements aimed at the pages that make you money, reported against the targets in your scope.

The calendar
Coverage follows news, and technology companies make more of it than they realize. We build the calendar around a funding round, a product or platform launch, an AI feature release, a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 milestone, the first enterprise logo, an acquisition on either side of the table, a senior hire, an original research drop, an open source release, a security incident handled properly, and conference season. Three of those in the next twelve months is a program. None of them, and we will say so on the call.
Sectors and stages
A reporter covering enterprise software can spot a pitch written by someone who learned the category last Tuesday, and a security editor spots it faster. We run programs across SaaS and enterprise software, AI and machine learning, cybersecurity, fintech and payments, healthtech, retail technology, telecom, and industrial technology.
Also devtools, martech, adtech, proptech, insurtech, HR tech, legal tech, edtech, climate tech, semiconductors, IoT, and deep tech.
Needs a name before it has a sales team. Startup PR is where this begins.
Needs category authority so buyers stop comparing it to the incumbent.
Needs message pull through, analyst credibility, and a narrative that survives procurement.
Stage changes the story more than sector does. A seed or Series A company needs a name before it has a sales team, which is the job of startup PR. A scaleup needs category authority so buyers stop comparing it to the incumbent. An enterprise vendor needs message pull through, analyst credibility, and a narrative that survives procurement. Broader technology programs live at tech PR, and non technical B2B at B2B PR.
The process
We interview your founders and the two engineers who can defend a claim under questioning, read your closed won deals, and build the media list from the publications those buyers named on the call. Then the scope is signed: outlet tiers, placement targets, dates, deliverables, all of it before an invoice exists.
Pitching opens. Named reporters on their actual beat, plus your subject matter experts pushed into stories breaking that week, which is the shortest route from unknown to quoted.
First coverage lands, almost always trade and vertical press. That is not a consolation prize. It is the tier your buyer forwards to the rest of the committee, and the tier a national desk checks before it takes a new name seriously.
Business and national desks, bylines placed under your executives' names, and a review held against the numbers you signed rather than the activity we logged.
From month four the rhythm is fixed: proactive pitching against the agreed list, an agreed volume of bylines and reactive opportunities, a refreshed media list, and a report covering placements against target, outlet relevance, share of voice, referring domains, branded search movement, and where AI engines name you. If you want a benchmark for pace, our Forbes clients tend to get a first opportunity between weeks four and eight.
AI answers
Technical buyers stopped starting at Google. They ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini who handles their problem, read one zero click answer, and build the evaluation from that list.
Generative engine optimization gets sold as a new discipline. The mechanics are plain enough to explain in one paragraph. A model repeats claims it can check against a source it already trusts, so three things decide whether your name appears: whether the publications it crawls have written about you, whether your entity data says the same thing everywhere it appears, and whether your markup states in machine readable terms what you sell and who buys it. Only one of those three can be bought, and it is not the one that matters. That is the whole argument for taking search and PR from the same people. One team owns the citation and the ranking it feeds, so there is no second invoice to blame. See AI SEO and search engine optimization, or pair this page with B2B SEO.
Why AceIt
In enterprise technology, a weak PR program is unusually good at hiding. Your own sales cycle supplies the excuse for four quarters straight. Coverage thin? The category is complex. Pipeline flat and nothing ranking? Enterprise buying and B2B search are both slow. Every one of those answers is true, which is exactly what makes them useful to an agency that is not working. A budget cycle later you are in front of the board with a list of mentions in publications your buyers do not open.
There is one honest limit, and it is what makes the rest credible: we commit to the work and every agreed deliverable, not to a promise that one specific reporter says yes, because no agency owns another person's decision. That scopes the guarantee. It never shrinks it.
Receipts
Clients have been featured in TechCrunch, VentureBeat, Wired, Ars Technica, Bloomberg, Forbes, CIO, PCMag, Fast Company, Inc., Industry Dive, and Entrepreneur.
The rest of the record sits at case studies and Vezbi.
The number
Getting a number out of a B2B tech firm usually takes two calls and a discovery deck. The bands that do surface run roughly $8,500 to $30,000 and up per month: boutiques at the low end, specialist B2B technology shops commonly quoting $12,000 to $20,000, and national firms opening around $25,000. Month to month deals cost more than an annual commitment.
Ours sits on a page you can read right now on the pricing page. Forbes campaigns are scoped and priced in writing before kickoff. Run earned media and search together and you are looking at mid five figures to six figures a year against a 12 month roadmap. We scope project, retainer, or performance oriented models depending on whether you are supporting a launch or building a category position, and the number is settled in writing on the strategy call rather than three meetings later.
The honest filter
Coverage needs two things: something that happened, and a person willing to hold an opinion in public with their name on it. Missing either, you will hear it on the first call. We would rather lose the deal than bill you for two quarters to arrive at the same sentence.

Most agencies charge $8,500 to $30,000 a month, with specialist B2B technology firms commonly quoting $12,000 to $20,000 and national firms starting near $25,000. Our prices are published rather than hidden in a form. Forbes campaigns are scoped and priced in writing before kickoff, and programs pairing earned media with search run mid five figures to six figures annually. Scope and price are agreed in writing before kickoff.
A B2B tech PR agency earns coverage in the technology press, trade publications, and business media that a company's technical buyers, buying committee, partners, and investors read. The work spans messaging and narrative development, journalist pitching, executive thought leadership and bylines, launch and funding announcements, original research, reactive commentary, crisis planning, and reporting tied to pipeline rather than clip counts.
That number belongs in your contract, not in a blog post, because it depends on your news flow and the outlet tiers you want. We agree a placement target before kickoff and refund you if we miss it. As a reference point, our Forbes clients typically see a first opportunity within 4 to 8 weeks, and trade coverage usually lands before national business desks do.
A messaging framework, a target media list built from your closed won deals, ongoing proactive pitching, an agreed volume of executive bylines and reactive commentary, launch support for funding and product news, original research or data stories, award and speaking submissions, crisis readiness, and monthly measurement. Enterprise scopes usually add analyst engagement and media training.
Placements against the targets in your scope, outlet relevance to your buyers, share of voice against named competitors, message pull through, referring domains and keyword movement on the pages coverage was aimed at, branded search lift, citations in AI answers, and inbound inquiries. You will not get a hit report padded with syndicated reprints. A clipping count is activity, not a result.
Replies take days, the scope was never written down, the report lists mentions with no target to measure against, and the coverage sits in publications your buyers never open. Two more signals: the account is run by someone who cannot explain your product, and nobody will put a number or a refund behind what they promised. We reply in 1 to 2 hours and put the targets in writing.
