The Colab

PR & Comms for High-Growth Companies.We’ve worked here, there, and everywhere. While cutting our teeth in the PR world, we came across one common truth.No one really likes working with (or for) agencies.The team structure, the bait-and-switch sales methods, the long contracts, the revolving door of account support. It’s a real pain.So, we’re doing things a bit differently.At The Colab there are no benchwarmers. No JV squad. Just top-tier, high-talent professionals with ten or more years of experience, ready to hop in and make moves.
