Founder PR services
Founder PR services put the person behind the company in the press, on podcasts, and on TV.
Ace Branding offers founder PR services built on your own story: an editorial interview, a press feature draft you approve, guaranteed publishing across 800+ publications, plus podcast tours and regional TV. No retainer is required, which makes it a practical form of digital PR for startups and growing companies.

Founder PR services include the press, podcast, and TV work that makes a founder credible to customers, partners, and investors. At Ace Branding, that means three core services plus consulting: guaranteed press features, a niche targeted podcast tour, regional TV appearances, and reputation to revenue consulting that helps turn credibility into revenue.
Articles are written about you or your company using your story. The topics depend on what you want to discuss, and the goal is to give readers value, not only to see your name in a headline.
A college dropout, Luke started his first online business at 19 with a $600 loan. After learning to brand himself on social media, he was making six figures by 20, and by 23 his business was doing over 10 million a year in revenue with a sales team of almost 10,000 people.
His story has since been featured in Forbes, Yahoo Finance, and IBTimes, and he has spoken to audiences as large as 10,000 people.
Ace Branding says its CEO is a product of its product. In 2018, Luke had a bad PR experience and committed to being the change he wanted to see in the industry. The result is a model with no retainer, guaranteed results, and your approval on every draft.
Digital PR for startups is often worth it when buyers or investors research you before they act, because published coverage gives them something credible to find. Published research supports the timing: NEWMEDIA.COM reports that earned coverage often lifts branded search demand by 10% to 40% within 7 to 30 days, and that digital PR linked to a clear proof point often lifts consideration by 4% to 12%, especially in high trust categories.
It is less useful if you do not yet have a clear story or audience. That is why Ace Branding starts with defining your core message before any article is written.
According to the American Immigration Council, nearly 46 percent of Fortune 500 companies in 2026, 229 out of 500, were founded by immigrants or their children, and those 229 companies generated $9.8 trillion in revenue in fiscal year 2025. Founder stories are business stories, and the press covers them.
Publicity built around a memorable story is not new. Crenshaw Communications recounts a classic stunt that sent six sets of twins on a cross-country trip, inviting the public to guess which twin had the Toni home perm and which had the expensive ($15!) salon job.
