When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
We have a whole toolbox.
There are firms that know tech, but don’t know your sector whether it’s financial services, health care, cyber and defense, or transportation. Some agencies say they know your sector, but that often means running direct-to-consumer PR. And there are firms from Washington that know policy, but have no idea how to leverage these issues to boost the bottom line.
Crosscut is different.
We know the issues cold, and specialize in working with start-ups through their lifecycle from launch to post-IPO and beyond. We work with organizations of all sizes on their thought leadership, public affairs, marketing, reputation management, and communications. We are strategic thought partners, and importantly, arms and legs to get stuff done across earned, social, owned, and paid media.
Meet the Team
We’re strategists, storytellers, policy wonks, and operators. The common thread? We all know how to cut through the noise.
