TARGETED, LASER PRECISION, 360 DEGREE INTELLIGENT DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS

Intelligent Digital, The New PR

We’re talking the perfect house blend, true alchemy infused with classic public relations and refined social communications to create a message, news and the ink that gets you in front of your audience. Why? Because it’s a jagged volatile communications world now and all technology markets are now surfing into the next digital age.

It’s not an option anymore. If you want your company to be seen, heard, have a say and survive, you need to communicate wisely. Hey, we aren’t talking big agency, cookie-cutter, one size fits all, just add water PR.

We’re talking intelligent digital, the New PR, but you can just sit back and cash the checks, watch your users and customers line up and your investors roll in.

Our Work & Our Clients

THE

INK WAY

Social Communication Layers

Layer up, it’s cold out there. We’re talking Twitter, LinkedIN, Facebook and all the other ways you touch people today. Put in the right ingredients, you get users and customers.

Issue Hi-Jacking = Thought Leadership

Say what you want people to know, don’t wait for an opening.

Your Blog, Your Kingdom

We write ‘em, you write ‘em, we make sure they get read.

Behind the Rope

Events, baby, make them behind the rope sexy, or don’t show up. Think…would I go?

Presence Through PR

The common denominator in the recipe for global mind share, messages, storylines and talking to the right people.

Our Clients (aka our flock)

Our clients are a little bit of everything – listed to start up, well funded to cash
flow positive. Consumer Electronics, mobile, machine vision, IPTV,
semiconductor, clean tech, nonprofit, arty. A little bit country and a little bit
rock n roll.
One in four clients goes on to be acquired by a major IT brand. We think that
has a little something to do with us and the fact that we work with simply
awesome people and technology.

Tattletech

Tattletech is all about the news, gossip, venture deals, industry folly of the Web 2.0, Telco, Life Sciences, Clean Tech, mobile and some other stuff. We bring you closer to what’s going on (maybe) with a little cheek and a lot of opinion.

Virtually headquartered in Boston, Italy, Tel Aviv, Copenhagen, (oh heck, we are anywhere that has an internet connection) Tattletech covers the world and we cover any topic.

We believe that communication and news should not be limited by old school methodologies but embrace the power that the internet brings as it allows readers and writers to move information and news in more meaningful ways.

We believe the line between advertising and editorial is now too blurry, so Tattletech decided to just make some changes on their own – and report on news and events that influence the industry. We are not under the influence of advertisers or publishers.
