Agency Statement:
Speed Ahead With Award-winning Tech PR. The word is out: Forbes listed Bospar as one of the "Best PR Agencies 2021;" PRovoke SABRE named us "2021 Innovator of the Year;" and PRWeek awarded Bospar "Best in Corporate Branding 2021." We're hard-driving professionals with purpose, recognized for the PR excellence we deliver for clients, from start-ups to Fortune 100s, across a wide range of B2B and B2C technologies. From product launches and company news to executive visibility and IPOs, we're intellectually curious, with relentless joy for what we do.
We're built for the heavy lifting. Our team of journalists from social and traditional media, together with recognized marketing, influencer, financial, SEO and public affairs experts, collaborate to secure top-tier client placements, month after month. We get smart fast, build relationships, and launch PR campaigns, grounded in strategy and infused with creativity. And we don't stop. We're out there every day learning about what's trending and changing and newsjacking clients into the conversation whenever possible.
Virtual is a real advantage. Virtual from Day 1 with a national footprint means our team stands ready in every continental US time zone, easily reaching into Europe and Asia. No matter when news breaks, we have coverage – from ground zero in Silicon Valley to regional hotbeds like NYC and Chicago. Being 100% virtual also means we hand-pick the industry's brightest, regardless of where they live. Just one of the reasons Bospar continues to have the best staff retention in the industry.
Speed ahead. When it comes to getting known faster, accelerating adoption, and driving impact, Bospar breaks through with coverage and visibility to audiences around the world.
