About PR Volt

PR Volt's mission is to make PR more affordable, efficient and transparent for small businesses. At PR Volt, we use tech and automation to streamline the entire process of PR - from the way we interact with clients, to the way we target and reach out to journalists. Core to our focus is reducing manual touchpoints that have historically added cost without adding incremental value.

We're applying the latest in machine learning and AI to develop innovative ways to generate press coverage and level the playing field for our customers. PR Volt is a simpler, higher quality, lower cost and more scalable approach to PR than building out your own internal PR team or hiring an expensive agency.
