"Professional, Personable PR Management That Feels Like a Trusted Friend"

5/5

What do you like best about PANBlast?

Their professionalism, yet personable style of PR management. They feel like a good friend that looks out for you, but isn't afraid to tell you when something is a bad idea. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PANBlast?

Nothing comes to mind as a drawback; they've been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PANBlast solving and how is that benefiting you?

PANBlast has been our PR agency for several years now, and they consistently deliver great results for us. Unlike other agencies I've worked with in the past, this team takes to heart the word, "partnership." For example, they've demonstrated a high degree of professionalism, strategic thinking that mirrors our internal goals, and quality of work. They've also been invaluable in sourcing new media opportunities for us that contribute to improved visibility among our target audiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A true PR partnership"

5/5

What do you like best about PANBlast?

PANBlast is a strategic, collaborative, and genuinely trustworthy partner. What I appreciate most is how proactive and intentional they are - they don't wait for us to tell them what to do, they come up with fresh ideas and innovative approaches. They're knowledgeable about our industry (SaaS, martech) and communicative about everything they're doing. The team is efficient and organized, and persistent in helping us refine our PR strategy, while being agile enough to pivot when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PANBlast?

It's hard to find fault. They are so thorough and strategic, we've become dependent on them. When we see lulls in media coverage, it's generally because we're in a quiet news cycle internally or there are macro factors at play. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PANBlast:

Do it, especially if you don't have in-house PR expertise. They're collaborative partners who will become an extension of your team. Come prepared to be strategic - they want to understand your business goals and will be proactive about driving results. Trust their process. They're innovative thinkers who consistently deliver and prioritize quality over quantity. If you want a team who's just responsive to your requests, look elsewhere. If you want trustworthy, knowledgeable partners who are intentional about driving real business impact, PANBlast is your answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PANBlast solving and how is that benefiting you?

We don't have an in-house PR team, and PANBlast has filled that gap perfectly for 3+ years. They bring fresh ideas, work directly with our thought leaders to craft compelling stories, and help set our annual PR strategy and OKRs. They're incredibly organized, always on time, and know their stuff. They are genuinely kind people who go out of their way to help us (and you can tell this is org- and culture-wide characteristic). They collaborate with our marketing leadership to make sure everything aligns with our broader goals. Having PANBlast as our PR partner has allowed us to punch above our weight in the marketplace.

What problems is PANBlast solving and how is that benefiting you?

I engaged PANBlast to support me with a major product launch initiative in the very crowded tech market, and generally supporting us by raising our awareness across the US. The team were like an extension of my own, and consistently looked for opportunities, expert comment responses, thoughts, ideas, and pushed us to stretch our thinking around our POV.

"A critical partner for our PR program"

5/5

What do you like best about PANBlast?

The team members assigned to our account are the best part of BLASTmedia. They worked hard to learn our industry and learned it better than any marketing/demand gen/SEO agency partner we've had before that faced a similar obstacle of understanding our niche.

Because of BLAST's contract structure, the team is not limited to a set number of hours or projects for us. They are prompt in responding to rapid response opportunities.

Another thing I appreciate is their willingness to push back on a strategy that we recommend that they don't agree with. Many agencies would just do what they are asked, but BLAST is willing to give candid feedback to lead to the best result.

Finally, the team is just fun to work with and I've looked forward to our biweekly calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PANBlast?

I don't have anything I really dislike about BLASTmedia. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PANBlast:

Make sure you have a dedicated team member in-house managing the partnership. There are many moving parts that need collaboration - approval of written content, quote generation from thought leaders, and more. If you don't have at least one person in-house committed to the partnership then it will be much more difficult to be successful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PANBlast solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a communications team of one, BLASTmedia is critical for us to achieve our PR goals. They are thought partners in strategy and important executors of our outreach to reporters, PR reporting, and OKR process. With Blast, we've gotten coverage in the Washington Business Journal, BBC, Huffington Post, key industry publications, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing comes to mind, they did exactly what we hired them to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
