Media Interview Coming Up? PR pros work really hard to book press interviews, but here’s the reality: many of them never result in coverage. Getting the meeting is just step one. Turning that conversation into a quoted article? That’s the hard part. The problem most often? You’re not saying anything new, interesting, or memorable.

90% of Startups Fail Due to Product-Market Fit – Here’s Why You Need PR If 90% of startups flame out because they never really hit product‑market fit, your biggest risk isn’t “nobody knows we exist.” It’s that you’re talking to the wrong people about the wrong problem.

Top 5 Startup-Focused KPIs for 2026 PR measurement is broken, especially for startups. Most early-stage companies are still reporting metrics designed for Fortune 500 brands with massive budgets, dedicated analytics teams, and years of historical data. Meanwhile, founders are being told their PR is “working” because impressions went up… even when pipeline, hiring, and fundraising haven’t moved an inch. In 2026, PR measurement must answer a simpler question: Is our visibility helping the business grow, right now and over time?

From Seed to IPO: 23 Reasons Startups Need PR at Every Stage In 2025, I crossed my 100th startup client. After 17 years in PR and hundreds of founders, CEOs, and C-suite leaders across consumer and B2B tech, I’ve seen the same mistake at every stage. It’s time to talk about it. Launching a product? PR gets called weeks before GA, after the story is locked. But PR belongs in the GTM room early, shaping the narrative before competitors do and before hype outpaces credibility.
