The PR services a public relations company should cover
A PR agency isn't judged on the number of releases it sends, but on the doors it can open. For 25 years Ballou has run press and media relations for more than 800 tech companies: narrative, media relations, executive visibility, crisis. Four owned offices across Europe, 35 consultants and one conviction: PR is a strategic asset, not a line of cost.
The narrative before the release
A good story badly told interests no one. We work your angle first (why now, why you, why it matters) before we call a single journalist.
Top-tier coverage, not volume
The Financial Times, TechCrunch, Sifted, the BBC, Handelsblatt, Les Échos. Three articles in the outlets your buyers read beat thirty anonymous pickups.
There when it gets hot
Crisis, controversy, sensitive story: our senior consultants are there before, during and after. The same people who run your account day to day, not a unit you meet on the worst day of your year.
Real results, not promises
top tier articles in one day

Oliver HolleManaging Partner, SpeedinvestYour message in front of the audiences that matter
A selection of articles secured by the Ballou teams over the last 24 months. Not Google News filler, articles read by your customers, investors and talent.
You're in the right place if…
Ballou supports companies that make communications a strategic lever for their growth.
You are a tech company between Series A and IPO, or an established business in transformation.
You see communications as a performance driver, not a checkbox.
You are approaching a key phase, raise, IPO, M&A, European expansion, major product launch.
You want a long-term partner with European reach, not a one-off agency.

London, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona. Integrated specialists who master local media, cultural codes and editorial rhythm in each market. No outsourcing, no scattered freelancers.

Which media do you reach in the UK?
TechCrunch, Sifted, the BBC, The Register, Business Insider and the Financial Times, plus the trade press in your sector and Europe's leading titles (Handelsblatt, Les Échos, El Mundo).

Yes. Ballou has integrated teams in London, Paris, Berlin and Barcelona. One agency, four markets, without losing the local touch.
