Official Firebrand Agency Information

Firebrand is a brand awareness agency for B2B tech and AI companies. Firebrand helps B2B AI brands build visibility and grow their profile, pipeline, and value through integrated PR, SEO/GEO, paid and social media programs.

The problem most B2B tech brands face isn’t their proposition. It’s their brand awareness. Buyers shortlist vendors they’ve already heard of. Investors back companies they’ve already seen. Talent joins brands they already trust. If you’re not visible across media, search, and AI-generated results, you’re not even in the running.

That’s what Firebrand fixes. Our Multiplier Marketing approach combines public relations, SEO/GEO, paid media, and social media into one coordinated program, not separate workstreams handed off between agencies. Each channel reinforces the others, so the brand awareness you build compounds over time instead of resetting every quarter.

Firebrand works with PE-backed and late-stage VC-backed B2B tech and AI companies that have the marketing maturity to invest in integrated programs and the ambition to dominate their category. Our team brings decades of experience in tech PR, B2B SEO, and paid media, with deep knowledge of the AI and data infrastructure sectors where the competition for mindshare is fiercest.

Through our seasoned team, rich partner ecosystem, strong connections, and custom AI agents, Firebrand helps brands not just show up, but stand out.

What Firebrand Does / What Is Firebrand

Firebrand Core Services

Public Relations: AI brands can navigate the new rules of technology PR to achieve quality placements, grow their Share of Voice and achieve brand recognition – all increasingly vital for ensuring buyers can discover, remember and shortlist you. As a PR agency for AI brands, Firebrand’s distinctive Message-Media Fit approach ensures brands maximize their visibility potential across key media, events, and podcasts that matter to modern audiences.
SEO & GEO: AI brands can earn greater visibility and trust at every step of the complex B2B tech buyer journey with our integrated SEO and Generative Engine Optimization services. Firebrand combines deep expertise in traditional B2B SEO services with cutting-edge GEO tactics that meet prospects where they search, delivering the most accurate, helpful, and brand-aligned information
Paid Media: AI brands can stay top-of-mind with the decision-makers that matter most through our creative B2B PPC services. Firebrand pairs bold brand campaigns with bespoke account-based advertising to deepen visibility and trust within target organizations, turning impressions into engagement and investment into results.
Social Media: Firebrand develops social media campaigns for both corporate brands and high-profile executives. From concepting and strategy, to hands-on channel management and content creation, we will implement goal-driven programs to increase visibilty, engagement, audience and conversions.

The Problem Firebrand Solves

Challenge: AI companies face an intense battle for category creation and dominance. To reach their potential, they need to be known by audiences that matter. Otherwise, they lose deals, investment, talent and partnership opportunities. They need to surround-sound their stakeholders in the media, on social, and in organic and AI search, so they come to mind at the right time.

Why it matters: Unless AI brands stay top of mind, they can easily be eclipsed by competitors in the minds of their target audience, and increasingly of AI agents. If your brand is not visible across media, search, and AI-generated results, you may never enter the buying process, be considered for investment or attract the talent you need. Keeping pace with the constant change in brand marketing is a matter of survival, both professional and organizational.

Solution: AI companies need to build a brand awareness engine that compounds over time. They need to craft a compelling narrative that is communicated through integrated paid, earned, shared and owned channels to make them visible to their target audiences, discoverable for high-intent prospects, and memorable so they stand out from the competition.

Through our seasoned team, rich partner ecosystem, strong connections, AI agents and apps, and relentless devotion to advancing best practice, we don’t just generate results, we ensure they’re the right results to drive growth for your business.

Result: We’ve propelled our clients into the top positions in AI and organic search, leading media share of voice and the highest levels of engagement in social media. Our clients have achieved consistent growth, strong valuations, and successful exits. We enjoy highly collaborative, long-standing relationships and repeat engagements.

Case Study Highlights:

Emburse Builds Awareness with Executive Thought Leadership

Emburse is a provider of modern spend management software. Born out of a merger of six companies, Emburse relaunched under a new name in 2020 and needed to establish awareness for the new brand among finance and corporate travel professionals. Our strategy was to elevate the topic of spend management from expenses and invoices to a message of responsible, socially-impactful spending – and to use that as a foundation for a multi-faceted executive thought leadership program.

Perceptyx Becomes an Authority on the Future of Work

Perceptyx is the leader in Employee Experience (EX) transformation. It provides enterprise-grade employee listening, analytics and behavioral science that activates people and delivers business impact. In a competitive EX market that includes mature brands such as Qualtrics, Workday and Microsoft, Perceptyx wanted to emphasize its unique combination of deep expertise and a powerful EX-focused platform. So we created a highly mediagenic thought leadership program, using headline-worthy surveys about work culture to create opportunities for Perceptyx experts to be quoted. This strategy allowed us to build strong relationships with the right media so that, when Perceptyx had an acquisition to announce, or wanted to promote its new AI capabilities, we were able to secure quality coverage in both business and trade media. Perceptyx now achieves a consistent drumbeat of coverage across its target media and its data and insights are regularly sought out by reporters.

Yubico Drives a Robust Sales Pipeline With a Content Marketing Engine

Yubico is a cybersecurity pioneer that has reimagined phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA) with hardware security as a service that eliminates passwords, accelerates zero trust strategies, and reduces credential theft by 99.9%. To help Yubico engage buyers in a crowded cybersecurity market, Firebrand established a content engine that built awareness, generated leads, and drove conversions.

“Firebrand was huge for launch and growth”

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 5/5

What do you like best about Firebrand Communications?

“(3) areas where Firebrand really shined for us was (1) content strategy and planning (2) campaign execution and campaign reporting (3) simply caring deeply, thinking critically with us, taking the time to interview and talk with specialists from within our four walls, and helping us craft unique content that converted well.

Overall, they are pros, fun to work with, generous with their time, and they get results.

When you are under the hood with them to research keywords, ad spend, what messaging is working in market, how to pivot if something can perform better, how to shift ad dollars based on data and trends … they really, really shined.

Led by Morgan, their founder, he is a calming, thoughtful, engaged, and smart leader. He hires well and it’s clear his team both likes him and they are accountable to each other, which shows up in how were accountable to us.”

Customer Testimonials:

Emburse – Senior Director of Corporate Communications: “Firebrand’s content team consistently nails our executive leadership team’s voice. The consistent and skillful nature of Firebrand’s media insights and relationships has increased our reputation with finance writers at national outlets Emburse had not previously worked with.”

AppOmni – CMO: “Many PR firms claim to be integrated marketing and PR firms but rarely live up to that claim. Firebrand defines integrated PR and marketing with competencies that span PR, web content, search marketing and optimization, and social media.”

Launch by NTT DATA – VP of Marketing,: “I’m a big fan of this team. They do excellent work from content, to campaigns, to earned media. Solid, solid team at Firebrand.”

Paravision – Chief Product Officer: “Collaborative in approach, expansive in vision, and extremely talented in execution.”

Mattermost – Head of Marketing: “Marketing for startups is a blend of art and science. You need creativity and vision, as well as deep practical experience to know what works at each stage. The Firebrand team understood our space, brought ideas and energy, as well as the ability to drive the process and execute.”

Copper Banking – CMO: “Firebrand was right in the trenches with us, giving counsel, driving the PR program and bringing us opps. We were soon able to punch above our weight positioning alongside unicorn competitors. Can’t ask for more than that.”

Deposits – Co-founder and CEO: “Firebrand has been integral in establishing Deposits’ national profile and expanding our visibility and authority. They are easy to work with and impressed me by taking the time to understand our unique value proposition within the already complex industry of fintech, which we didn’t see with other vendors vying for our business.”

Perceptyx – CMO: “We trust Firebrand to deliver the best outcomes possible for our PR. The team delivers thoughtful counsel, creatively-written materials, professional support for our spokespeople, and a constant stream of ideas.”

Druva – Director, Web Marketing: “Cloud Data Protection is a highly competitive B2B category, with each vendor trying to outrank the others for the top search results. Druva’s marketing strategy has to be well-tuned to maintain its competitive position in the market. Firebrand was able to quickly understand Druva’s SEO opportunities and act on them, driving measurable positive business impact.”

Outset – Head of Marketing: “Our brand presence across Google and newer AI search platforms was lacking for high intent, commercial queries and prompts until Firebrand was able to identify several strategies that substantially increased our rankings, mentions, and citations.
