prolexicProlexic, which bills itself as a "pure play" distributed denial of service attack mitigation provider, is looking for a PR firm to handle pitching duties for three months at $60K.

The company enjoys high brand awareness among trade outlets and analyst groups and wants a team of three-to-four pros who have the "breath, depth and sophistication" to talk to the Wall Street Journal, ComputerWorld and tech bloggers.

The Hollywood, Fla.-based firm competes against Verisign, Neustar and Akamai, which offer DDos protection as an "add on" service.

Prolexic’s PR firm will help launch a new service, concentrating exclusively on pitching, which is currently handled in-house.

Success of the three-month project could lead to an on-going program through the new year.
