Connect with me on LinkedInMost PR agencies send cookie-cutter pitches and report vanity metrics. We know because we were on the receiving end. Disrupt PR was founded by Marin Richardson, a national award-winning reporter for NBC LA, CBS News and Dateline NBC, to build the opposite. Based in Austin and named the #1 Boutique PR Agency in the Nation (Bulldog Reporter Awards 2025), our team helps tech, health and growth-stage brands earn the coverage that drives real business.
We’re a small boutique agency that works as part of your internal team. Too many PR firms put a big-name CEO on the sales call, then hand your account to a 23-year-old. At Disrupt PR, senior strategists do the work. We act as your internal PR C-suite, bringing Columbia-trained, master’s-level thinking to every account.
