At Eskenzi PR we believe in ‘breaching the PR boundaries’ to get outstanding results for our clients.
Having been at the heart of the cybersecurity industry for more than 23 years, Eskenzi’s driven team loves nothing more than keeping our clients in the spotlight and keeping their competitors in the dark!.
Behind every cyber security headline is an Eskenzi PR client.
We believe that successful PR is a partnership, so we work closely with our clients to make sure their brand is on a fast track to create a positive reputation, deepen customer relationships, identify new business, and overall become more authoritative within the industry.
Each Eskenzi PR team member is dedicated to helping you gain the best from PR. We offer strategic guidance, consultation, creativity and action to get the brand exposure you require to dominate the cybersecurity market. Additionally, you can expect monthly thought-leadership content, top tier coverage, and access to the best media relationships and tools in the business.
Eskenzi PR is known for building brands and taking US, European, Israeli or British companies and turning them into world renowned household names and creating a media buzz that makes them ideal for IPO or acquisition. We pride ourselves on knowing the cybersecurity industry inside and out with our clients staying with us for an average of seven years. In fact, our longest running client was Infosecurity Europe – a client that remained with us for 17 years.
Not only do we have the ear of the CISO community, but founders Yvonne Eskenzi and Neil Stinchcombe are part of industry advisory bodies, mentors for the CyberSecurity Academic Program and get involved with White Hat Events that support the cybersecurity industry’s chosen charity, NSPCC/Childline (http://www.nspcc.org.uk).
