Get StartedWe recognize for some early stage companies, a full-service PR package is simply not in the budget. That does not mean they should be forced to take time away from their core businesses to develop messaging, or settle for substandard work from discount providers.
That's why hype lab has developed a menu of custom Startup PR Labs, that offer an all-in one head start (and much more) for companies that are ready to start telling their stories to target audiences and fielding press inquiries. These labs are designed to add tremendous value as a standalone session, or they can provide the building blocks for a comprehensive PR strategy as a company grows.
Our labs, led by highly-regarded tech PR professionals, ensure you'll leave with actionable insights and newfound abilities.
Below are the three main types of labs we offer.
