Every B2B tech leader eventually faces the same question: Should we hire a PR agency or build an in-house PR team — and how should we invest in PR this year? The truth is, there’s no single “right” model. But there is a repeatable way to decide whether you should buy PR (agency retainer), rent PR (freelance bursts), or build PR (in-house).

Developing marketing content for complex B2B tech solutions has never been about volume. It’s about precision, especially when selecting the best content formats for complex B2B tech solutions. Today’s most effective formats don’t just explain what a solution does. These formats clarify the problem, guide evaluation, and earn trust—from both human decision-makers and from the generative engines shaping discovery, such as AI-powered search platforms.

A PR agency switch is a strategic reset, not a handoff, giving B2B tech leaders a chance to realign positioning, messaging, and expectations around growth and credibility. Most fail by carrying forward legacy positioning, vague goals, and volume-based KPIs, forcing new agencies to repeat the same mistakes. The strongest leaders use the moment to tie PR to real business outcomes while accounting for AI-driven discovery platforms where third-party validation shapes perception. Done right, a PR agency change turns PR from a cost center into a durable growth asset.

In 2026, B2B tech leaders expect their PR investment to show measurable influence on revenue, pipeline velocity, buyer trust, and competitive authority. Agencies that cannot demonstrate these outcomes are being replaced by partners who operate with performance standards aligned to the C-suite.

Over the past year, AI-generated answers have quietly become one of the most influential gateways to information in business, reshaping how organizations must think about PR for AI visibility. Prospects now ask AI tools for vendor recommendations. Journalists use them for background. Board members consult them to evaluate markets. And yet, most CEOs and CMOs have no idea how their companies appear inside these systems—or whether they appear at all.

For many B2B tech companies, public relations should be a strategic growth engine that fuels demand, accelerates sales cycles, and elevates brand authority. Yet too often, marketing and PR directors manage agencies delivering a flurry of activity with minimal business impact. If this sounds familiar, the problem may not be your story but your agency’s outdated playbook. A modern data-driven PR strategy is essential, as traditional PR playbooks are not built for today’s AI-shaped, data-rich media landscape.

Every B2B tech founder or CEO eventually reaches the same uncomfortable realization: why PR can feel elusive becomes painfully clear when, despite all their mastery of product, sales, growth metrics, and go-to-market systems, PR remains a “mysterious creature.” It doesn’t behave like marketing. It doesn’t produce the tidy dashboards leaders are used to. And unlike product or sales, it doesn’t follow a predictable input → output pattern. Working with a B2B tech PR agency can help demystify this process and align PR with your business goals.
