A true PR partnership **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeni B. | VP, Marketing, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2025 **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. **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. **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.

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. ### 8.

A critical partner for our PR program **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Theresa H. | Director of Communications, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 11, 2024 **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. **What do you dislike about PANBlast?** I don't have anything I really dislike about BLASTmedia. **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. **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. ### 13.

Their focus on B2B SaaS also brings an expertise that is hard to find in an agency — they've done more SaaS product launches and funding rounds than you could count and know the ins and outs of SaaS marketing and business strategies that make them a strategic value-add partner and not just an agency. **What do you dislike about PANBlast?** Like with any PR agency or PR strategy, it can be hard to quantifiably measure the impact and success at times.

As they learned tone/voice/messaging/etc. they have been quick to adjust and take the steps needed to better understand our thoughts leaders, and execs for future projects. **What problems is PANBlast solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our main goals are to increase brand awareness and our thought leadership presence among target audiences. We're keenly interested in total media coverage, website backlinks, and referral traffic. BLASTmedia consistently meets or exceeds these targets QoQ. These results tie back to our larger marketing goals of growing awareness, pipeline, and adding new customers. ### 29.

Many other vendors in our space do not spend much time in this area.

Great PR Company for B2B **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Allison D. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 03, 2020 **Describe the project or task PANBlast helped with:** BLASTmedia helped increase my company's media footprint in both trade and national publications as well as become more aggressive from a PR standpoint.

But now, with the support of BLASTmedia, we're able to go after opportunities we never had the bandwidth to support as well as develop a full PR strategy. **What do you like best about PANBlast?** The level of support and the comprehensive and regular reporting and analytics reports we get from BLAST. The team we work with at BLAST is truly like an extension of our internal team. **What do you dislike about PANBlast?** We've had an amazing experience with BLAST media and have no complaints whatsoever. **What problems is PANBlast solving and how is that benefiting you?** With BLAST we're able to be more strategic about how we use PR. Instead of just releasing press releases every so often, we worked with BLAST to develop a comprehensive plan that enables us to garner more media attention than ever before. We're still in the beginning stages of our relationship with BLAST, but are looking forward to continued success! ### 38. Excellent, scrappy, creative PR firm **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dylan T. | Founder and Editor-in-Chief, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 16, 2020 **Describe the project or task PANBlast helped with:** Blast has helped us with basic PR (awareness, press releases, gaining media coverage, and thought leadership) for about 6 months. This has included several press releases and news events. **What do you like best about PANBlast?** Strategic insights, tactical execution skills, organized, fun to work with. Has generated a series of high-quality PR hits and thought leadership placements. Good writers. Very good value compared with bigger coastal PR firms. **What do you dislike about PANBlast?** Lacks some of the cachet of big West coast tech PR firms. Not quite as fluent with the technical aspects of our product as I might like. **What problems is PANBlast solving and how is that benefiting you?** Solving: Lack of awareness, lack of consistency in media coverage, lack of backlinks to our site Benefits: Coverage, awareness, increased website traffic, news and thought leadership assets that our sales team can use ### 39. A focused, ROI driven media agency purpose built for SaaS companies. Highly recommended. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Justin S. | VP of Marketing, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2020 **Describe the project or task PANBlast helped with:** BLASTmedia is our agency of record. They've helped us with product announcements, fundraising announcements, and general media coverage for the past year. **What do you like best about PANBlast?** They're extremely pragmatic. They don't deal with fluff and vanity metrics. They're laser focused on how they can drive value, which is fantastic. **What do you dislike about PANBlast?** They don't have any downsides that aren't present with any other media agency. Sometimes they'll over index on reporting domain level metrics instead of the particular URL or section. For example, bizjournals.com is always reported at the parent domain, not our region's subdomain, which is much much smaller. **What problems is PANBlast solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to get coverage for our messaging in trade publications that matter to our buyers. We've also been able to drive links back to our site, which helps move the ball forward in organic search. ### 40. Measurable results driven by a fun, engaging team of PR professionals **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sara B. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 22, 2020 **Describe the project or task PANBlast helped with:** BLASTmedia is our PR agency. They prepare, execute, manage, and report on our annual media strategy. **What do you like best about PANBlast?** I appreciate how easy they are to work with. The team dedicated to our account quickly got up to speed on who we are as a company, our goals, and the key messages we want to deliver across top tier and vertical market publications. Our lead PR manager keeps us informed and on track to meet our quarterly goals. Everyone I've interacted with at BLASTmedia is dialed in to media trends and contextualizes our company message within the overall landscape. **What do you dislike about PANBlast?** I haven’t come up against any issues that weren't immediately remedied. The BLASTmedia team is very open to feedback and has always responded immediately with compassion and solutions to any concerns that have come up for me. **What problems is PANBlast solving and how is that benefiting you?** In working with BLASTmedia, we’ve advanced our goal to become a recognized, sought-after expert on of-the-moment topics in our field. Over the course of our working relationship with BLASTmedia, our coverage and the number of backlinks to our website from pitched content have both measurably increased. In addition to a host of vertical market publications, we’ve been placed in multiple top-tier publications so far this year. ### 41. BLASTmedia huge help & great team to work with! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ashley C. | Official Member: Marketing Leader, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2020 **Describe the project or task PANBlast helped with:** BLASTmedia is helping us get our name out there with brand awareness, thought leadership, PR, feature announcements and much more **What do you like best about PANBlast?** The best thing about BLASTmedia is the team we work with. They are so knowledgeable around all things PR in the SaaS space and they come to our calls with the best ideas. They really know how our company and CEO want to position ourselves from the story mining calls you go through when you get started. **What do you dislike about PANBlast?** There is nothing about BLASTmedia to dislike. **What problems is PANBlast solving and how is that benefiting you?** BLASTmedia is helping us with getting our brand and name out there. As a younger company, the BLASTmedia team and their PR has been a huge help to us and something a small marketing team can't handle alone. ### 42. A great partner for a fast growing business **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2020 **Describe the project or task PANBlast helped with:** We hired BLASTmedia to help us grow brand awareness around our newer company. We've worked with them to create a steady stream of momentum for our business through announcements, third-party/thought leadership placements, podcast interviews, and more. **What do you like best about PANBlast?** I love the collaboration between our two teams. When you're working with an agency, it's easy to feel the effect of being one of multiple clients. I don't feel that at all with our team at BLAST. They've spent a lot of time getting to know us as a brand and our goals and really work with us to get there. They truly feel like an extension of our team. **What do you dislike about PANBlast?** I'm very happy with the work we're doing with BLAST. If I could have anything else, it would just be more - but who doesn't want more of a good thing? **Recommendations to others considering PANBlast:** Bring as much information to the table as possible. They will be more successful the more information, goals, etc. you can bring to them. **What problems is PANBlast solving and how is that benefiting you?** As a two-person marketing team, it's hard to do all the things required to grow quickly. We made a strategic decision to invest in PR to help us grow brand awareness in the industry so we could focus on other areas of marketing. BLAST has been a huge asset to our team to help us continue the momentum we're building around other areas of the business. ### 43. BLASTmedia helped us maximize our PR ROI **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Logistics and Supply Chain | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 23, 2020 **Describe the project or task PANBlast helped with:** We came to BLASTmedia after having a negative experience with a large global agency. Since switching, BLAST has become a true partner to and extension of our team. Their superior customer service and consistently solid earned media results have helped us maximize our PR ROI. **What do you like best about PANBlast?** Earned media results, customer service, understanding of our business and processes, proactivity in sharing media opportunities **What do you dislike about PANBlast?** The content BLAST has developed for us hasn't completely met our expectations. That said, they've been willing to work with my team to build a new content development process to ensure all materials are better aligned with our brand's voice and style. We've seen significant improvement. **Recommendations to others considering PANBlast:** Make sure you understand BLAST's full scope of services. They offer many capabilities outside of basic media realtions/PR where they can support. **What problems is PANBlast solving and how is that benefiting you?** PR and earned media are new to my company, so BLAST has been excellent in helping us showcase results and how PR can contribute to the business. As a result, our leadership team has bought into the idea of PR and is excited to engage in media opportunities instead of seeing them as a burden. ### 44. A True Partner **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2020 **Describe the project or task PANBlast helped with:** BLASTmedia is an excellent media relations partner. Yes, they do all the typical PR activities, pitching, media relations, reporting, interview prep, etc. However, where they really excel is learning our industry, and going deep on our product knowledge so they have more than surface level understanding. They then use that knowledge to craft curated content and execute PR strategies. **What do you like best about PANBlast?** They are excellent advisors. A company never wants to be in a "media relations crisis" and if you are to find yourself in such a situation, I would want BLASTmedia on my team. They are an extension of our team. They are willing to evolve how they work to match how we work. This means shared Slack channels, Google Hangouts and in the rare occasion we need them after 5pm or on the weekend they are incredibly responsive. **What do you dislike about PANBlast?** Nothing comes to mind. They have been a great partner for our small team. **What problems is PANBlast solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are a small team with very limited resources. We work on a quarterly basis to determine our objectives and they execute the strategies flawlessly. Their guidance and advice has been extremely valuable and help represent us well. ### 45. "I see you everywhere!" **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeremy R. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 22, 2020 **Describe the project or task PANBlast helped with:** Brand awareness, opportunities to share industry knowledge and expertise, Press Releases, management of campaigns to maximize exposure **What do you like best about PANBlast?** They're a great team and are on top of measuring performance, communicating on a regular cadence. They became an extension of our company and certainly our marketing department / effort. Plus they're easy to work with (great culture fit) **What do you dislike about PANBlast?** The fact that I don't have them all to myself is probably the biggest "dislike", but that's not realistic **Recommendations to others considering PANBlast:** Open up and let them in. They're approachable, humble, and very knowledgeable. They want to help and see you succeed (at least that has been my experience) **What problems is PANBlast solving and how is that benefiting you?** It was important to create brand awareness from the launch of our product. Blast made it possible. As a result of their work, I am constantly approached by industry peers who say, "I see you everywhere!" ### 46. A refreshing GROUP of publicists **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Adrian C. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 02, 2020 **Describe the project or task PANBlast helped with:** BLASTmedia is the agency of record for Smartling, a language translation management software and services company. We engaged BLASTmedia to provide PR support to help reposition our brand and services in the market place. The result of our work was pretty incredible, including 121% goal achievement of service-line sales that we were trying to grow. **What do you like best about PANBlast?** BLASTmedia didn't assign one person to our account. They didn't assign two people to our account or even three people to our account. For every check-in, there were FOUR people from BLASTmedia on the call. I know. You're reading this and thinking it's the most inefficient use of your PR retainer. It isn't. It's maximizing your efficiency. Four smart, eloquent, driven people joined every call to strategize how my brand could get more exposure across every news media channel. We came up with good ideas, quickly discarded bad ideas, and optimized when misunderstandings about our complex offering were leading people down the wrong path. Plus, every one of them has a dog that made an appearance on Zoom calls from time to time. 🐶 **What do you dislike about PANBlast?** Look. PR is tough. I used to do it myself. The hardest part about working with any agency is that they aren't actually on your team. PR has changed. There are 9x more publicist than journalists today, so it's competitive. I would like to see BLASTmedia come to me with more pitches that aren't necessarily focused on what we do that would get us more coverage. We went through a few lifecycles, so it's not like this didn't happen at all. Sometimes we were focused on niche publications and other times it was more broad. When you have in house PR, it's easier to get more stories from the field and leverage PR as a channel more organically than the traditional setup. And since PR is just one of many things I manage, it wasn't always my top priority. **What problems is PANBlast solving and how is that benefiting you?** We put together a brand campaign to help promote and sell a specific service line that we offer, and the team did amazing work. We got placement in Fast Company, Forbes, AdAge and Salesforce Marketing Cloudcast to name a few (Salesforce is one of my favorite interviews!). We realized 104% of our earned media goal achieved a stronger share of voice in the industry. And we get to promote a lot of different people at the company. ### 47. Very Postitive Experience - Great Team **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 04, 2020 **Describe the project or task PANBlast helped with:** We wanted to build brand awareness for a B2B SaaS company **What do you like best about PANBlast?** Their team had great ideas, always arrived to meetings prepared. They did a great job of increasing their domain expertise to add additional value. Very creative approaches. You could tell they thought things through. **What do you dislike about PANBlast?** Nothing to add here. They exceeded our expectations. **What problems is PANBlast solving and how is that benefiting you?** BLASTmedia filled a critical role for us early on in our lifecycle, putting stepping stones in place to help us grow our brand awareness that still pay dividends. Their media contacts are deep and helped us earn credibility with valuable industry partners. ### 48. Great firm **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eric S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2020 **Describe the project or task PANBlast helped with:** BlastMedia helped us with a broad set of PR related projects ranging from traditional releases to facilitating interviews with industry leading publications, content features and more. **What do you like best about PANBlast?** They are super organized and very proactive. Our regular check-in calls were always productive and kept me and my team on track. **What do you dislike about PANBlast?** Nothing really comes to mind at the moment. **Recommendations to others considering PANBlast:** Excellent firm. Give them your vision and the information they need to be successful and they'll do a great job. **What problems is PANBlast solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're a small company and don't have the budget for someone full time in a PR / Marketing Communications role. That being said, building brand awareness is really important to us at this stage. Working with BlastMedia has really helped generate exposure for us. ### 49. BLASTmedia has exceeded our expectations and has become a true strategic partner for our company. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Emily M. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 07, 2020 **Describe the project or task PANBlast helped with:** BLASTmedia was hired to provide strategic PR support aimed to increase brand awareness and establish our organization as a thought leader in (and beyond) the security industry. **What do you like best about PANBlast?** BLASTmedia is easily my favorite vendor - the team is professional, enthusiastic, organized and incredibly talented at what they do. They always come to meetings prepared with ideas to solve problems and make an impact. **What do you dislike about PANBlast?** There is nothing I dislike about BLASTmedia. **Recommendations to others considering PANBlast:** Hiring BLASTmedia should be a no-brainer. They're a delight to work with and truly deliver results. **What problems is PANBlast solving and how is that benefiting you?** BLASTmedia has helped us increase our share of voice and has established excellent relationships with industry trade publications that now look to us as a source for insights. ### 50. I've worked with a lot of PR agencies– BLASTmedia is nothing like them. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Justin K. | Vice President of Revenue Marketing, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2020 **Describe the project or task PANBlast helped with:** BLAST oversaw the total scope of Sigstr's PR and Comms strategy for several years. They developed annual and quarterly plans with clear owners and indicators of success. **What do you like best about PANBlast?** BLAST is the best agency I've ever teamed up with. I've worked with PR agencies of all stripes and sorts– from massive Manhattan-based agencies to niche-specific boutiques– and I experienced the same thing with all of them: copy+paste PR plans that promised the woerd and were then overseen and executed by a rotating cast of AEs, none of whom tried to truly dig in to understand our company, our personnel, and what our company's mission and vision were. What BLAST offers is a high level of dedication, thoughtfulness, and throughput. The level of service and the results they repeatedly achieved were always impressive– and they didn't achieve it by working harder or throwing more bodies at challenges: they did it because they cared about us and our business a remarkable amount. The team at BLAST truly gives a damn about their clients and it absolutely shows up in the results they deliver. **What do you dislike about PANBlast?** Honestly– not a thing. I had an amazing relationship with BLAST and can't fault them for a thing. **What problems is PANBlast solving and how is that benefiting you?** At the outset, it was pretty standard B2B tech fare: brand awareness and amplification, executive visibility, and traffic and demand growth. As our business and relationship evolved, they were able to identify specific areas or moments in our company history worth changing the scope to help maximize every hour we had with them. I credit BLAST with a lot of Sigstr's growth as a MarTech brand. ## PANBlast Discussions - [What is BLASTmedia used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-blastmedia-used-for) - [View PANBlast pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/panblast/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-15+06%3A50%3A53+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=a99f54ce-3a20-46a2-b88d-c717675b69dc&secure%5Btoken%5D=90c0ff75a9f91ff2186b4cf9ba565d81e713f1c3ebade5ca51239ccdca9b65a5&format=llm_user) ## PANBlast Features **Planning** - Needs Assessment - Resource Allocation - Stayed within Budget - Statement of Work - Best Practices **Delivery** - Technical Expertise - Met Deadlines - Meeting Management - Project Updates - Scope Management - Roll-out **Team Quality** - Change Management Skills - Executive Presence - Vertical Expertise - Technology Partnerships ## Top PANBlast Alternatives - [Otter PR](https://www.g2.com/products/otter-pr/reviews) - 4.9/5.0 (202 reviews) - [SmartBug Media](https://www.g2.com/products/smartbug/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (207 reviews) - [Walker Sands](https://www.g2.com/products/walker-sands/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (32 reviews)
