- Victorious PR’s work with AI brands like Olas and Cluely demonstrates a proven track record of elevating AI companies from industry players to recognized authorities in their fields.
- With the global AI market projected to reach $347 billion in 2026, AI companies face fierce competition for investors, talent, and customers. Victorious PR closes the gap that often prevents startups from being discovered. With industry expertise and strong relationships with publications, Victorious PR helps clients dominate their markets, secure credibility, and establish thought leadership.
An AI founder builds something that could change how entire industries operate, backed by functional technology and a capable team. However, when investors search for the company name, they find almost nothing. When enterprise buyers evaluate vendors, the startup gets filtered out because nobody on the committee has heard of it. The engineers the founder wants to hire are choosing competitors with flashier reputations and weaker products.
This is the visibility gap that kills promising AI companies every year. Victorious PR has built its reputation by closing that gap for founders who refuse to let great technology die in obscurity. The agency combines deep expertise in emerging technology with relationships at the publications that shape how the industry thinks about innovation. Their client roster includes partnerships with NVIDIA, Solana, and Olas, and their placements span Forbes, VentureBeat, Fast Company, CoinDesk, and more than a hundred other outlets that matter to tech decision-makers.
What Makes Victorious PR Different from Traditional Tech PR Agencies
Victoria Kennedy founded Victorious PR in 2020 during the pandemic, a moment when most businesses were shutting their doors. The agency crossed the million-dollar mark in its first twelve months. Victoria brings a background that sets her apart from typical PR founders. She is a Wall Street Journal bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and an official member of both the Rolling Stone Culture Council and Fast Company Executive Board. Before launching the agency, Victoria built her career as a classical opera singer, touring Europe and performing alongside artists like Andrea Bocelli. That experience in performance and personal branding shaped her distinctive approach to PR.
The agency operates on a press-every-week model that distinguishes it from competitors. AI companies working with Victorious PR experience a steady stream of podcast features, thought-leadership articles, and placements in top-tier publications. This sustained visibility compounds over time, building the kind of brand recognition that influences investor decisions and customer trust.
Victorious PR brings journalistic instincts to every campaign. The team identifies the most newsworthy angles of each client’s story and positions those narratives within broader industry conversations. For AI companies, this means connecting technical innovations to trends that journalists are already covering, whether that involves autonomous agents, enterprise automation, or the intersection of AI and blockchain. The approach has enabled Victorious PR to build relationships with editors at publications such as Wired, Forbes, and Bloomberg.
Proven Results with AI Projects
David Minarsch, CEO of Olas, faced a difficult challenge. Olas builds user-owned AI agents on blockchain infrastructure, positioning itself against centralized giants like OpenAI. Despite raising $13.8 million, Olas struggled to gain visibility outside crypto circles. Victorious PR positioned David as a thought leader through ghostwritten op-eds and expert pieces that tied Olas to broader AI shifts. Coverage landed in VentureBeat, CoinDesk, Mashable, Forbes, Fast Company, and USA Today. The campaign generated placements in more than 100 publications, helping Olas break out of crypto echo chambers and reach the broader tech audience it needed to reach.
Roy Lee, co-founder and CEO of Cluely, an AI meeting assistant, needed visibility to attract serious investor attention. Victorious PR launched a campaign that secured coverage in TechCrunch, Business Insider, Bloomberg, Fast Company, Benzinga, Hackernoon, and MSN. The press exposure put Cluely on the radar of major investors, resulting in a $20 million raise that included $15 million from Marc Andreessen himself at a16z. The coverage did what cold outreach could not: it brought the right people to Lee’s door.
Why AI Companies Need PR Now More Than Ever
The global artificial intelligence market is on track to hit $347 billion in 2026, with projections showing 37% annual growth through 2031 when it could reach $1.68 trillion. More companies are competing for the same investors, talent, and customers than ever before. Third-party media validation has become the currency of credibility in this environment. When VentureBeat or TechCrunch covers a company, it signals legitimacy in ways that paid advertising cannot replicate, regardless of budget.
AI technology can be complex and misunderstood. Investors hesitate to fund projects they cannot explain to their partners. Enterprise buyers need confidence that a vendor will still be in business in two years. Strategic PR addresses these challenges by building trust with the public, educating target audiences, improving search visibility, and showcasing thought leadership.
PR builds trust by communicating your innovations and grand vision to the public, highlighting your project’s technological impact in ways journalists and editors understand, so users and clients flock to your project.
Victorious PR focuses on what it calls market domination: building enough visibility and authority so clients become the default choice in their space rather than one option among many. The companies that win the AI race will not necessarily be those with the best technology. They will be those who can explain why their technology matters and who build the brand recognition that influences decisions at every level.
