Who We Like to Work With

It Takes Two
​PRwithBrains does not fake the funk. We choose our clients as much as they choose us. The reason is simple: we cannot work with anyone unless we feel with every fiber of our being that what they are doing is something we can put the full force of our talent behind.
​We Trust Our Gut
There is no metric when choosing a client. There is only the feeling of excitement we get when we run across a new technology. It's like falling in love or discovering our new favorite band.
Transformative Businesses Only
Since our founding in 2004, we have had the good fortune to work with companies that have pioneered online food drives, companies that have brought motion capture to the palm of the hand, companies that veterans and small businesses to apply for benefits without losing half the day waiting on hold.
Quality Over Quantity
​We're not looking for the coolest kids in the room. All we need is good people with an exciting new model. If you think you're onto something great or need perspective on a project or event, we would love to hear from you.
