About Compass

Who We Are

We believe in one simple truth: when brands tell their story clearly, the future looks a lot less complicated. Founded in 2009, we’re a communications firm focused squarely on helping companies in the tech arenas stand out and speak up.

We’re not a generic marketing and PR agency. We know your world: the channel dynamics, the technical edge, the competitor rush, the need to explain something complex in plain language. Our team brings more than three decades of PR, media, and marketing experience, so you don’t have to start from scratch.

What We Do

We partner with tech brands to make sure their message isn’t just heard — it’s felt, understood, and acted on. Our work includes:

  • Brand positioning and messaging tailored for the tech sector. 
  • Content creation — from blogs and white papers to video storyboards, infographics and e-books. 
  • Influencer and media relations — connecting with the right outlets, the right voices, the right stories. 
  • Strategy and product-marketing support — helping clients map how to bring their technology to market in a meaningful way. 
  • Measurement and analytics — so you can see what’s working, what’s not, and adapt.

We help transform what you do into messages that touch prospects, partners, and buyers — giving you the momentum to move your business forward with confidence.

When I was searching for a new PR firm, my main objective was to find an agency very well connected within the industry. Compass is without a doubt that agency, the team knows everyone and has great relationships with them all. But more than just great connections, they are also very well versed on technology and most importantly delivers results.

Jason Crawforth CEO, SWEAR

The Compass team has been an exceptional partner. Their expertise, creativity, and dedication continually exceed expectations. At this point, I’m convinced they could manage just about anything better than I can
(well, maybe not everything) but I couldn't imagine
moving forward without them.

Rhianna is a powerhouse in media relations and editorial strategy. Having worked with her for over a decade, I can confidently say that there is nothing she doesn’t know about the world of press and media. As the owner and Chief Strategy Officer at Compass, Rhianna and the entire Compass team have been instrumental in delivering high-impact media coverage, securing key placements, and ensuring our brand messaging always reaches the right audience. The industry knowledge, deep network, and ability to craft compelling narratives make them one of the best in the business. I would relish the opportunity to work with her again — and any company looking for a media professional who delivers results with precision and professionalism should do the same.

Bill Gately

Compass is a top marketing and PR team in the security industry. In addition to providing insightful strategic and tactical advice, they were able to make several introductions with key industry leaders for me. Rhianna and her team provided strong coverage for us at trade shows and leveraged her long time connections to garner us valuable interviews with influential press personnel which helped put our company on the map. I strongly recommend that any technically oriented company speak with Rhianna before choosing a marketing/PR firm.
