What BMV does best
Most agency comparisons sort firms by size or headline client. The more useful question is which job a firm is actually built for. BMV is built for two:
- Frontier and applied AI companies that ship research and product without a marketing apparatus. Labs and AI infrastructure companies produce genuinely novel work and often have no one whose job it is to translate it. They value thought leadership but cannot manufacture it internally. BMV operates as their growth marketing team — narrative, earned media, bylines, and technical content — rather than as an announcement vendor.
- Venture-backed B2B technology startups that need earned media tied to business milestones. Funding rounds, launches out of stealth, category creation, and the steady drumbeat between them.
BMV runs a dedicated generative engine optimization practice, so earned coverage is built to be cited by AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) and not only to rank in traditional search.
Pricing
BMV publishes its pricing rather than gating it. Retainers typically run $7,500–$15,000 per month over a 6–12 month engagement, scoped to stage and goals. Full breakdown of what the market charges at each tier: How much does startup PR cost?
