JBC partners with consumer founders from seed to scale. Press strategies that work for editors, customers, and investors at the same time — because for venture-backed brands, those audiences read the same newsletters and trust the same bylines.
Most startups treat PR as a Series A line item. By then the narrative has been shaped by competitors and the market. We start earlier — building the founder profile, the category framing, and the editor relationships that turn a fundraise announcement into a category-defining moment instead of a generic round-up.
We work at the intersection of consumer editorial and the investor community. JBC's roster includes Sandbar's voice-AI launch (600M impressions in two months), Reale Actives' Alix Earle launch (16B impressions), Grove's IPO press, OLIPOP's run to category leader, and a 40-brand coalition built in 72 hours when policy threatened female-founded businesses.
Sandbar, Reale Actives, AIR Company. Press programs that turn fundraise news into category narrative — not just a TechCrunch post and a quiet week after.
TED, SXSW, TechCrunch Disrupt, TIME 100. 750+ speaking opportunities across the JBC roster. Stage time that turns founders into the people investors call back.
Forbes, Fortune, Fast Company, WSJ. The editorial coverage Series A and B leads actually read — built into the cadence between rounds, not just at announcement.
Quiet, fast, founder-protective. From product recalls to policy moments, JBC's senior bench moves before the story does. The 40-brand tariff coalition stood up in 72 hours.
