Strategy

In addition to being a coverage tool, we used funding to get on the radar of key media and start building the company's relationships with beat and business reporters. In addition to introductory and funding pitching, the team also monitored the news for real-time, rapid response opportunities and trend pitches that helped up tap into conversations that put Blackbird.AI and its executives in front of national, technology and trade audiences.
