About

In your corner, from the newsroom to the boardroom.

Whether your audience is a reporter, an investor, your team or your boss, our job is the same: making sure you're heard.

Sometimes that means telling your story for you, through media relations and PR. Sometimes it means one-on-one coaching so that when you speak, the full room listens. It always starts with the people behind the brand.

We immerse ourselves in your business, work alongside your staff and get to the heart of your story. The rest — the strategy, the placements, the spotlight — follows from there.

Our clients range from restaurants and beloved arts institutions to leaders at cutting-edge start-ups and venture capital firms. We'll be in your corner every step of the way.

But in the end, stories are about one person saying to another: This is the way it feels to me. Can you understand what I'm saying? Does it feel this way to you?

Miriam Cohen (formerly Newcomer)

I've spent 15 years getting people heard by the toughest audience there is: journalists who owe them nothing.

I've worked in-house at some of the Bay Area's most iconic brands and personally represented museum directors Max Hollein and Thomas Campbell, as well as private equity group founder Payam Zamani. My teams and I have placed thousands of stories in outlets including The Guardian, Forbes, the Associated Press, PBS NewsHour, TIME and The Wall Street Journal. I've directed digital content to millions of followers and created award-winning PR and digital campaigns.

Coaching runs through all of it. People I've mentored now run their own communications divisions at companies across the US and beyond. Today I help senior managers, directors, founders and CEOs hone their communication skills to become the person the room can't ignore.

My clients have been quoted in countless top-tier publications, including The New York Times, The Economist, The Hollywood Reporter and Vogue. They have spoken on stages to audiences of hundreds, secured millions in VC funding and amassed millions of views on YouTube and Instagram.

I live in Los Angeles with my beautiful family.

Our clients do incredible work — we make sure the world notices.
