The newsroom map
The San Francisco media landscape
TechCrunch, The Information, and Axios SF cover companies a few blocks from their desks in SoMa and the Financial District.
The San Francisco Chronicle, SFGATE, The San Francisco Standard, and the San Francisco Business Times carry the city, KQED and the newsrooms at KTVU, KPIX, and ABC7 book the segments, and the Mercury News and Silicon Valley Business Journal own the Peninsula. Local desks want what your company does to the city. The tech press wants a number, a customer, or a fight.

The numbers we bring to San Francisco
A deck that lands with investors rarely lands with an editor.
Vezbi's US expansion ran on targeted organic PR and passed 1 million brand impressions. On national desks we have earned 50+ Forbes features across 12+ industries, and most clients see a first opportunity inside 4 to 8 weeks. Both were earned, not paid for.

Questions
Asked before a San Francisco campaign
Anything else, email [email protected] and it comes back in 1 to 2 hours.
Bay Area firms quote monthly retainers and almost never publish the number. Ours are on the page: publications from around $95, listicle spots from around $400 by position, broadcast from $700, print pages from $1,400, Forbes campaigns priced in writing before kickoff. Miss the agreed targets and the money comes back.
No. Everyone on your account works from Austin, Texas, and serves San Francisco remotely. A reporter at TechCrunch or the Chronicle cares whether the story is real, not whether you rent desks in SoMa. Several firms ranking for this search work the same way and never say so.
A funding round on its own is not a story here. We bring a number nobody else has, a customer willing to be named, or a position on an argument the beat is already covering. Then we pitch named reporters individually until we get an answer. Volume loses in this market.
You are refunded. Tiers, deliverables, and dates are agreed before kickoff, so if we do not deliver what we committed to on the timeline we committed to, the money comes back in full. Your counsel will find that clause in the contract, not in a sales call.
