Results, Results, Results
We write. We counsel. We learn our clients' businesses. We are committed to world-class client service. And most of all, we are determined to help our clients increase mindshare and market share. We use the mainstream media, social networking, viral marketing and every other tool at our disposal. We do it every day and we do it very well.
Our History
Split Rock was established in 1998. We have offices in Silicon Valley and Alexandria, Virginia. We started out as an alternative to the traditional PR agency, and we’re still going strong. For years, companies in all industries have been frustrated by agencies that assign inexperienced staffers to handle their clients' day-to-day account work. Too many agencies are more concerned about milking a few more billable hours out of their clients than about doing what's in their clients' best interests.
Split Rock is different.
Our entire staff is composed of senior, experienced practitioners. Our clients aren’t paying for someone to get on-the-job training. More importantly, we are obsessed with delivering results. That’s why we’ve enjoyed long, mutually beneficial relationships with so many clients. We have clients today who have been with us for over eight years. That doesn’t happen by accident. It takes dedication and a commitment to excellence.

Add value. If we don’t do that, there’s no reason for us to be in business. We bring our knowledge, experience and can-do spirit to every client and every project. We are absolutely committed to squeezing every ounce of value we can out of every dollar that our clients invest in marketing and PR.
