Let’s be honest—AI and SaaS companies have a trust problem. Whether it’s fear of automation, data privacy concerns, or the flood of exaggerated marketing claims, many buyers are skeptical. That’s exactly why strategic public relations isn’t just helpful—it’s critical.
A skilled public relations agency does more than get you in the news. It shapes how your brand is perceived and ensures the message you’re putting out builds credibility from the start.
Here’s the thing: most consumers and even B2B buyers don’t fully understand the tech behind AI or SaaS products. They rely on what they read about a brand to make buying decisions. That’s where PR comes in. By securing third-party validation from respected outlets—think TechCrunch, Wired, Forbes—you’re building authority and trust that no paid ad can buy.
At Otter PR, we help AI and SaaS companies humanize their technology. That means putting founders and engineers in front of the media as thought leaders. We pitch op-eds, secure podcast appearances, and land interviews that make complex topics feel relatable. When your audience hears your story in your voice, trust follows.
And let’s not ignore reputation risks. In the AI space especially, one bad headline about ethical concerns or bias can spiral fast. A proactive PR strategy can protect your brand. A strong public relations agency will monitor coverage, correct misinformation, and prepare your team for crisis response before anything goes public.
Another benefit? Long-term visibility. SaaS and AI companies live and die by SEO, and the more your brand is mentioned in credible sources, the more you show up in search—and even in AI recommendations.
You can build something powerful. But people need to trust it to buy in. PR is the bridge between your innovation and your audience’s confidence.
