Our DNA
Access is...
A strategic communications agency with an indisputable track record in earned media that solidifies brands. Clients come for the access they gain but stay for the impact we deliver.
Our work extends from tech and consumer legacy brands where we reimagine their narratives and get our clients inserted into the right discussions in differentiated ways, to cutting-edge brands that we make household names.
Through research and planning, our content teams build bridges that arch over industry noise and create innovative stories to drive bottom line impact. As a team of "what-elsers," we uncomplicate the complicated by zeroing in on what matters most: accessing audiences in new, meaningful and unexpected ways.
Those who choose Access are looking for a long-term communications partner that will cultivate positive reputations, create with purpose and play to win.

We do not believe in PR for PR sake
We’re here to help you meet and exceed your business objectives and together challenge ourselves to push our limits. We double down on what’s working and have honest conversations when we need to pivot. We are laser-focused on the right outcomes for you.
We want to be your partner, not a vendor
Relationships matter. We deliver more when we’re in the trenches with you and a part of your team. We won’t always say yes but we’ll always be solutions oriented. We’re results driven and motivated by rewarding, collaborative client relationships that teach us all new methods and deliver work we can be proud of. We are committed to developing partnerships that thrive. Clients including Intuit and 2K have been with us for more than 17 years, and 50% of our roster has been with us at least three years.
We aim to be an expert on our client’s businesses
While we won’t know more about your business than you, we want to get as close to that as possible. We do our homework and we invest our time. The deeper we can get into your business to understand the good, bad and ugly – the better we are at delivering big and small creative ideas and mapping the right execution. And the better we are at translating the deep tech into meaningful narratives that editors and prospects take note of.
At Access, we believe that innovation is the key to improving consumers' lives. We know that everyone—from the innovators, pioneers, investors, engineers and influencers powering that evolution, to the people ultimately consuming them—desires experiences that make their lives easier, more seamless and well, just better.
As consumers and brand advocates ourselves, we fight to make our clients stand out in every field they play in, be revered as thought leaders and ultimately drive business impact by making them seen, heard and noted to the audiences that matter most.
To us, there are no walls between consumer and business communications. From bites to bits to business, every product, every service, every experience should be designed and produced with humans at the center. That is even more important today as digital technologies change the way we work, live and operate.
We blend the discipline of B2B communications with deep consumer insights to tell great stories that create meaningful action for our clients, moving their business forward.
Backed by a global powerhouse network, Access embodies a boutique mindset and hustle to deliver results. Ultimately, it's our job to get you earned media. It's at the core of what we do and what we've been doing since we were founded in 1991.
