Definition
What is B2B tech PR agency pricing?
Crackle PR's B2B tech PR agency pricing starts at $12,000 per month, with a 6-month minimum, then month-to-month service. Senior strategists own the work directly.
The most important question in B2B tech PR pricing is who will do the work. Crackle PR names the senior strategists responsible for pitching, drafting, and executive preparation before an engagement begins.
Crackle PR sets a $12,000/month minimum retainer. That floor exists so every engagement can be staffed exclusively with senior operators — no junior layer, no account coordinator overhead — while still funding a real program of tier-1 and trade earned media, executive thought leadership, and GEO/LLM optimization.
