Ballou Is a Specialist Pan-European Tech PR Agency Working Across the Technology, Innovation And Venture Capital Sectors
Now in its twentieth year, Ballou is a full-service communications advisory firm, with experts working at both the strategic and tactical execution layer of its clients’ communications challenges. It has grown to become one of Europe’s top technology PR firms, with an enviable roster of clients.
That means we can take clients from a standing start, devising communications strategies and messaging, alongside a clear plan for execution across an agreed set of channels, including digital media and social media.
We work with clients who might be early in their communications journey, as well as organisations that have established comms teams looking for new thinking or a new approach.
Our value goes beyond media coverage, with a full suite of services structured around three key practice areas:
As a full service tech communications agency we help organisations and venture capital funds define, protect and grow their company reputation. We advise influential organisations on staying agile, shaping public policy, navigating critical issues and engaging key stakeholders, for both B2B and B2C. Effective strategic communications counsel and execution are vital to continued company growth and evolution.
Specialists deeply embedded in the European tech ecosystem
We work with b2b technology businesses, b2c businesses and venture capital funds facing corporate communications challenges.
We work primarily with companies at late stage fundraising, often just pre- or recently post-IPO. We have capital markets experience both in the UK and US. We occasionally work with earlier stage startups or first-time funds who have a particularly compelling story to tell, or where our expertise dovetails with the company’s strategic goals.
We offer a full range of tech PR services
We can operate on both strategic and tactical levels and can offer a full range of services, across corporate and strategic, product and technical, and executive communications.
Corporate and strategic communications
We will develop company messaging and storytelling to help organisations tell their growth story, communicate their vision, and lead on the wider debates and narratives in their industry.
As part of our corporate and strategic campaigns, we can also offer comprehensive social media and Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) services to help your business grow organically, safely and ethically across all channels.
Messaging, positioning and communications consultancy
We launch new product offerings and business lines for B2B and B2C businesses, executing creative campaigns to get in front of key target audiences and grow your market share.
We work with technical teams to communicate to both technical and general audiences about new technologies and innovations, and are experts at telling complex and technical narratives simply in the wider media.
We work with founders, boards and chief executives to help you tell your story as the figurehead or communications lead in a fast-growing business. We leverage traditional media relations tactics as well as social media, SEO and digital marketing in order to raise the profile of your spokespeople.
We run media training sessions to ensure your messages are communicated in the best possible way, and offer profile raising and event campaigns to help you tell the right story to the right people.
Good communication is at the root of all effective solutions. Tell us what’s working, what’s not, and where you want to go.
