About SourceCode Communications

When Highwire is the better fit
- You're a larger enterprise software, AI or security company
- You want an established team with several US offices
- Security and financial services are core to your story
When SourceCode Communications is the better fit
- You want a tech-only agency with a recent industry award
- You need reach in both the US and the UK
- You're a growth-stage or enterprise tech company that wants senior attention
When neither is the right model
Both agencies run ongoing retainer programs. If what you need is top-tier coverage on a deadline (before a funding round, a launch or an enterprise deal), a guaranteed-placement model may fit better. Jamco PR guarantees placements on Business Insider, USA Today, Yahoo Finance, AP News and 35+ other publications; the first placement can be live in as little as 24 hours, and if one doesn't go live within 60 days it's replaced at no extra cost.
Example: an AI security company got on Business Insider and 3 other outlets in 16 days, then closed a $1M pre-seed round two weeks later. A San Francisco founder residence landed on Business Insider multiple times plus AP News and Yahoo Finance.
