Background To Wise Up PR’s Founding
After a decade in agencies and running communications for companies from seed level to some of the biggest brands in the world, founder David Claxton sought to launch a senior-only B2B communications agency. His goal was to enable B2B brands to invest their communications budget into proven experience, instead of hand-offs to a team of junior PR staff. Wise Up PR’s model is rooted in being more agile and adaptive to client needs than big box PR agencies.
