Corporate Ink Alternatives: 7 B2B Tech PR Agencies to Compare in 2026

Full disclosure: this guide is written by Joseph Tannous, founder of Jamco PR, which is one of the alternatives below. Corporate Ink is a respected agency, so we've tried to be fair about when it's the right choice and when another model fits better.

What Corporate Ink does well

Corporate Ink was founded in Boston in 1989 by former journalist Amy Bermar. Greg Hakim, a longtime team member, has led it as CEO since 2019, and it's part of the Worldcom Public Relations Group, a global network of independent agencies.

It focuses on niche B2B tech markets, including SaaS, supply chain and logistics, cybersecurity, AI and fintech, and takes a buyer-centric, pipeline-driven approach to PR, thought leadership and generative engine optimization.

Why companies look for Corporate Ink alternatives

• They need guaranteed coverage fast, for a raise, launch or enterprise deal.
• They want PR results without a long-term retainer.
• They want a larger integrated agency.
• They want a remote senior team or a different specialism.

The shortlist at a glance

1. Jamco PR: best if you want guaranteed results instead of a retainer

Jamco PR gets B2B tech companies and their executives on Business Insider, USA Today, Yahoo Finance, AP News, Benzinga, Investing.com and 35+ other publications. Placements are guaranteed: if one doesn't go live within 60 days, it's replaced with another top-tier outlet at no extra cost. The first placement can be live in as little as 24 hours, and most clients see their first article within 14 days.

Example: KinoSec, an AI security company, got on Business Insider and 3 other outlets in 16 days, then closed a $1M pre-seed round two weeks later.

Choose Corporate Ink or another retainer agency instead if you want an ongoing team for media relations, analyst relations and thought leadership month after month.

Retainer or guaranteed placements?

Retainer agencies like Corporate Ink charge monthly for an ongoing program: strategy, pitching and relationships. Results depend on your news flow and the media cycle.

Guaranteed-placement models like Jamco PR's charge for agreed outcomes on specific publications. You get certainty and speed, but less of the ongoing advisory work a retainer includes. Many companies use a guaranteed push first, then add a retainer once they have steady news.
