5 for 5. That's not a basketball reference — it’s BAM’s media streak. We secured top-tier coverage for five PortCo announcements under Gutter Capital. From TechCrunch, Axios, and Business Insider — our approach combined our media relationships with deep storytelling rooted in each founder’s why. The result? Headlines to drive business, not just buzz. Want your funding to earn coverage??Let's talk! (Article in the comments).

Let’s be real – whether we’re running a PR campaign or a multi-day event, our incredible people are the heart of our team.

How do you show appreciation of your team members? More importantly, does your team appreciate how you are saying thank you? The same gesture doesn't mean the same thing for every person. For one, personal time could mean the world, but for the next person, a shoutout in the all company Slack channel would be everything. So how do you get this information? Simple. Just ask! Employee appreciation isn’t one-size fits all. But when people feel seen and appreciated in a way that feels genuine, they’re more likely to show up to work as their best selves. Check out our blog post on love languages at work: understanding how people prefer to give and receive appreciation.?https://lnkd.in/grPpY7yJ

Dan Landau said it best: “Nothing beats being in a room with people who understand your exact challenges." Last week BAM gathered our community of VC comms and marketing professionals in San Diego for our 6th annual VC Comms Con. Our goal is to provide this community — one that typically operates in silos — with a few days that feel like coming home. A place to engage, learn and build relationships that energize and excite. We're grateful to all those who traveled near and far to join us, it's the people and their wonderful energy and insights that make VC Comms Con what it is. We already can't wait for next year! #VCCommsCon #VentureCapital #Communications
