Rocket Science – Award-winning digital marketing & PR

WE'VE RE-INVENTED PR FOR AN AI-DRIVEN WORLD

The rules have changed. When a customer or investor asks ChatGPT "who are the leaders in [X category]," the answer comes almost entirely from earned media—not from your website and not from paid content. Independent research now puts earned coverage at the center of nearly every AI-generated answer, while owned and paid content barely register.

It's the discipline we've practiced for years: building the kind of 3rd-party, authoritative coverage that wins trust—first with journalists and now with the LLMs trained on what they wrote. We're applying that same earned-media playbook to the new audience of AI agents.

Go-to-market & scale-up strategies have evolved. Let us show you the way.

TRACK RECORD

RESULTS THAT ARE MEASUREABLE

... AND THAT MATTER

Double developer traffic to AI image tech

Product launch yields USA retail distribution; M&A acquisition

We launched Beddit in 2013 with one of the most successful Indiegogo campaigns in history. Press coverage hit mainstream and immediately lead to major distribution deals with Misfit Wearables and Bed Bath & Beyond retail stores across USA.
Crushing it in the media results in $16MM investment

Ekahau was an early entrant in 'RTLS' category of asset tracking tags. We expertly positioned them against the better-known RFID category to establish traction, and crushed it in the press. Our media coverage eclipsed their arch-rival Aeroscout, and our buzz attracted $16 million in funding including a strategic investment from 3M.
Drive subscriber growth to $20M ARR

Well-timed coverage by Wall Street Journal, Robb Report and luxury lifestyle press helped SommSelect reach its target market of high-end wine consumers and vastly exceed its subscriber growth & ARR revenue goals.
350% valuation bump; M&A exit to Vista Equity

In just over two years we helped MarketLive triple its company valuation, leading to a successful exit to a PE firm. We instituted quarterly retail surveys, aggressive PR to the trade and business press, and a solid brand position in the mid-market.
400% increase in portal traffic

Stanford University’s online science library portal needed a boost in traffic and subscribers. Rocket Science vastly exceeded everyone’s expectations with a growth campaign and website hack that yielded 400% lift in traffic and 300% increase in subscriber conversion.
1,250 website visitors per minute

Strategic brand pivot leads to acquisition by Private Equity

We repositioned Avira GmbH from a trailing consumer antivirus company to the #3 largest scanning engine licensor world-wide, resulting in strategic pivot and subsequent acquisition by private equity.
Global mobile platform launch

AAVA Mobile sells a rather intangible reference design, yet Rocket Science made them one of the most talked-about hardware companies in the mobile technology industry. With some 500+ articles and blog posts within weeks of their launch, we also helped solidify their partnership with Intel.
Created the #1 browser extension of all time

More than 1,300,000,000 downloads; that’s what Rocket Science helped to achieve with Adblock Plus. With strategic initiatives—like our provocative ‘Manifesto’ and growth stunts like our open letter to Twitter on the eve of their IPO—we forced the advertising industry to pay attention as we created a called-to-action for consumers all around the globe.
Winning brand story leads to $200M PE investment & IPO roadshow

AVG Technologies was already a well-known antivirus security brand when we took over as Global Agency-of-Record. We re-defined the brand as a community-centric security software and increased media coverage by 300%, resulting in a $200M private equity investment and subsequent IPO.
