Global Reach.
Hands-on partnership.
Expert counsel.

SJS provides strategic communications for ambitious technology companies. We help founders and leadership teams earn the recognition that unlocks growth, capital, and global influence.

The best technology doesn’t always win.

The companies building the future are often working on ideas that are complex, technical, and early to market.

That creates a gap. The product may be powerful. The team may be credible. The opportunity may be real. But if the market doesn’t understand why the company matters, it risks being overlooked.

SJS exists to close that gap.

The boutique global agency.

SJS operates across North America and Europe, supporting companies in both local and international markets.

We know how to make stories travel and understand when they need to be translated, not just repeated.

The simple secret to great PR? Tell the right story to the right person at the right time.

How We Work Together

SJS works closely with founders, CEOs, CMOs, and communications leaders to understand the company’s ambitions, what the market needs to understand, and where recognition can create the most impact.

From there, we work to sharpen the story, define the proof, identify the audiences that matter, and build a communications plan to ensure we’re able to maximize impact.

CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS

Close partnerships produce better judgement.

The best communications rarely come from an agency working at arm’s length. By staying close to the business, we can recognise meaningful stories earlier, shape them more effectively, and make better decisions about what deserves attention and what doesn’t.

“ SJS PR has been an unparalleled partner. From my first edtech startup to transforming it into a nonprofit, SJS has been more than a PR company. Their relentless effort played a pivotal role in realizing my dream of making the Forbes 30 Under 30 List and amplifying our mission. Their dedication is a blessing that I’m profoundly grateful for. ”

SYDNEY MONTGOMERY

FOUNDER & CEO, BARRIER BREAKERS · FORBES 30 UNDER 30

” I’ve had the pleasure of working with Josh and his team across multiple companies, and they never disappoint. They take the time to genuinely understand our niche, services, and our audiences, and deliver real results because of it. They have landed coverage for me consistently in tier-one media as well as verticalized publications where our audience is showing up every day. Through their relationship-building and thoughtfully designed programs, our CEO was getting press almost every week. They’re the rare PR team that actually gets it, and on top of all that, and just genuinely wonderful people. ”

Megan Sakakibara

Fractional CMO, Former VP Marketing, Unbounce

“ SJS epitomizes the phrase Trusted Partner. They combine senior strategic counsel with strong day-to-day execution. SJS took the time to understand the complexity of our business and their work continues to play an important role in increasing awareness of our company. Most importantly, though, SJS’ work delivered what few other agencies could – incremental sales. ”

CHRIS LOBDELL

CHIEF REVENUE OFFICER, BRAIN CORP.

” Josh and the team at SJS PR truly stood by us during our most critical moments. Their support was prompt and heartfelt, especially when unexpected news arose. They consistently offered expert advice and equipped us with the right tools to make confident decisions. Overall, their seamless integration and dedication uplifted our company’s messaging and PR efforts, making us feel truly supported and understood. ”

GREG SMITH

CO-FOUNDER & CEO, THINKIFIC

DR. RONALD LI

CEO, Medera Biopharma, New York & Hong Kong

” SJS was our first PR agency and they helped us mature from having no strategy or tactics around how to secure high value media opportunities, to landing coverage with publications like Inc Magazine and The Times. They also placed our executive team at a number of high profile events, including WebSummit. Attentive, flexible and hard working is how I would describe the team and they always made me feel like we were their most important client, something that doesn’t happen with the bigger shops. ”

JESSICA NORDLANDER

Software Executive, Canada 40 Under 40 and Sweden's Most Innovative Leader

” I think of the SJS team as an extension of my own with power of exceptional media relationships that give us visibility beyond our internal capabilities. The team is smart, quick, and always responsive. When I look at my budget, the PR line item isn’t ever in question. I know it’s a great investment. ”

Val Riley

VP of Marketing, Unbounce
