Bitrise Goes from Unknown to Indispensable Among Fintech Companies
Bitrise Goes from Unknown to Indispensable Among Fintech Companies
Bitrise has attracted more than 6,000 companies around the world who are looking for an edge when it comes to engaging their consumers through mobile apps. Among these are financial institutions, digital-first banks and traditional banks that can’t compete in the mobile space without operationalizing their mobile processes.
Bitrise came to CVM when it realized that, to gain even more market share, it would need to illustrate how its technology and approach are different from competitors–and the immediate value they deliver to users.
Rather than focus on the features and functions of Bitrises’s technology, Channel V Media mapped out what its audiences actually needed to hear in order to explore the company further. Our ongoing fintech PR program is heavily focused on illustrating how fintechs and financial services companies are using Bitrise’s software to solve challenges that plague all companies competing in the mobile space. From achieving security and privacy to freeing up engineers from rote tasks to focus on innovative user experiences that put them ahead of competitors, we’ve spent the past two years painting a picture of what’s possible, while positioning Bitrise as the go-to source on what’s coming next in mobile.
Along the way, we’ve helped the company attract more talent and solidified its position as a visionary, rather than a vendor.

Embroker PR Launch
Embroker PR Launch
Embroker is an insurance company that modernized the insurance business by eliminating unnecessary middlemen and other complexities that result in high costs and lower value to businesses.
Embroker needed validation and awareness among technology and business media, as well as the different verticals it served (food, apparel, cybersecurity, and others). It additionally wanted to expand its offering beyond startups to established tech companies.
Channel V Media shifted its overall messaging and market positioning to gain media traction for its $28M Series B funding round. We viewed the funding news as a much larger opportunity: to re-launch the company to the market in a more meaningful way than it had when it originally launched. The release also led the messaging behind PR pitching efforts. Channel V Media’s work secured 22 original pieces of coverage in top tier press including Fortune, Wall Street Journal and VentureBeat as well as insurance and fintech media like Insurance Journal and Insurance Innovation Reporter.

How Fintech PR Benefits Companies

Control how the market sees you.
Companies can shift the perspective of entire industries through the stories they tell in the media.
We guide fintech companies’ positioning so that it’s relevant to the audiences they want to reach. Instead of focusing on the nuances of their technology, for instance, we emphasize how their offering transforms their clients’ businesses — or consumers’ experiences.

Become the market leader.
Your product or solution might be the first or best in the market, but there are inevitably other companies that sound similar, competing for the same audiences.
We help fintech companies outpace their competitors in media conversations–no matter how far ahead other companies seem to be.

Take credit for your success.
We leverage fintech companies’ growth milestones, customer success stories and other key moments to illustrate the tangible impact they have on their customers’ lives and/or businesses.
The resulting press coverage not only validates your technology or offering; it drives demand.

Offer the industry a fresh perspective.
We showcase the unique philosophy behind fintech companies’ solutions by converting their unique insights into thought leadership, including contributed articles, commentary, data stories, speaking and media and analyst briefings.
We’re also a go-to source for reporters looking for commentary on trending topics in the financial space.

Get an advantage over incumbents.
Many fintechs offer something shiny and new to the market–and the market is interested in knowing about them. But the initial intrigue doesn’t have staying power on its own.
Our approach to public relations focuses on delivering an ongoing narrative that’s substantive and gives audiences the confidence they need to engage with your company, rather than fall back on more well known options.

Go from vendor to visionary.
Most b2b fintech companies want to be seen as partners who can transform their clients’ businesses, rather than as vendors who execute on only part of a bigger vision. To shift perceptions in their favor, we prioritize media coverage that showcases how our clients create value and opportunities–and navigate common industry problems–for the companies they work with.

Be a part of the fintech industry.
CVM creates opportunities for clients to meet with reporters who are attending the financial services industries’ largest shows, including Money 20/20, Sibos, FinTech Connect, Guidewire, and more.
Leading up to these shows, we work with clients to refine their positioning to attract the attention of press and other influential attendees.

Validate your offering.
It’s one thing if a company says something good about itself and its product. It’s far more powerful when a third-party talks about it in a public forum.
We secure third-party validation—of your company, unique philosophy and product or offering—from the media, analysts and thought leaders who influence the conversations we want to be in.
