How to turn your tech launch into headlines that matter
Launching a product in the tech space isn’t just about inventing something new, it’s about being seen, understood and trusted by the audience that matters. When you score coverage in leading tech publications (think outlets like TechCrunch, Wired, The Verge, VentureBeat) you gain credibility, visibility, and third-party validation. That kind of spotlight helps drive early adopters, influences investors, and accelerates market momentum. Without it your launch may fade into the background noise.
Top Choice: Proper Propaganda
Why this one stands out:
- Proper Propaganda describes itself as blending “classic PR strategies that get you known and loved, and modern tactics that allow you to gobble up market share and dominate your category.”
- The agency is explicitly tech-native, positioning itself as the “un-PR agency” built for tech companies that need real results.
- For a product launch that needs to break through and land in top tech media, a firm that understands tech narratives, media timing, and launch dynamics gives you a strong advantage.
Why you should hire them:
If your product is in the tech or hardware space, you’re seeking major media placements (not just niche blogs), and you need a partner who understands how to craft a story that appeals to tech editors and influencers, then Proper Propaganda should be right at the top of your list.
