Who We Are

Since 2008, we’ve been transforming companies’ internal enthusiasm into widespread awareness, audience adoption, and market domination.

We’re an award-winning U.S. strategic communications and PR agency.

We specialize in transforming visionary companies into the mainstream consciousness.

We’ve made a name for ourselves by repeatedly breaking international companies into the U.S. market, rising to the top of conversations in crowded industries, and working with established companies to revive interest and demand for products that never got the exposure they needed to gain market adoption.

We’ve witnessed time and time again how strategic market positioning and a compelling company narrative can move markets–and create new ones–seemingly overnight.

As an agency, we’re continually refining our craft so that we can replicate what we do over and over again, using both traditional and emerging tools. We’ve developed competencies in technology, retail, consumer products, hospitality, media, advertising, finance, employment, and beyond.

Local Presence, Globally

Channel V Media has local partners in 41 markets around the world, in partnership with the International PR Network.

Kieran brings over 12 years of business, finance and management
consulting experience to Channel V Media, where he leads the firm’s media and analyst relations practice.

Kieran has an acute understanding of complex business stories, and how media and analyst relations directly influence corporate goals, stock prices, and investor relations. He is often included in Board of Advisor and Advisory Board Meetings, and informs venture capitalist firms’ understanding of the industries he works in.

Kieran was instrumental in bringing Ireland-based Everseen to the U.S. market through a year-long media and analyst campaign to establish the company as Amazon’s number one competitor in the race toward checkout-free store technology.

When not overseeing media and analyst outreach, Kieran additionally
develops strategic industry partnerships (most recently, with the National Retail Federation’s official Innovation Lounge), leads the firm’s business development efforts, and runs CVM’s signature Drinks & Demos event series.
