DIVINO GROUP

In a world where "every company is a media company," a crisp, compelling and easy-to-grasp story and clear messaging are truly critical to a company's success.

 

More on that here via LinkedIn article.  

 

Divino Group’s senior media and marketing experts can help guide and execute strategic communication and content initiatives - whether your company is preparing to launch from stealth mode to the world, about to be fueled with a new round of investor cash, or to help you knock a major new product launch or corporate initiative out of the park.

 

Led by Chris Knight, creative director and co-founder, and Tom Foremski, a long-time business/tech journalist for publications including the Financial Times, Silicon Valley Watcher and ZDNet, this startup package can be custom-built to maximize the impact

and your end-results. It specifically caters to early-to-mid-stage technology startups.

​

 

Our basic Start It Up package provides the following services - starting at $6,500:

 

• Introductory company briefing call with Chris and Tom (one hour)

• Audit of current messaging, company story, website and social channels

• Story sourcing session and media Q&A with founding executive team (3+ hours)

• Elevator-pitch practice video production (as part of executive sourcing session) 

• Development of corporate and product Q&A for media interviews and content
