Here’s a list of 15 targets well-suited for VC-based news with a Boston-based news hook. Most targets follow VC and startups as a beat. In other cases, the target’s interest will depend on the company and technology.
Looking for Tier 1 SMB targets? There isn’t a whole lot of SMB activity in Tier 1, in part because in the advertiser’s mind, “small business” means “small budget.” There’s that, plus LinkedIn has taken a lot of oxygen out of the room.
Quartz wants to know why its readers renew, and this week launched a survey to get answers. Below is an analysis of the survey questions and what the brand is up to.
We may be in a crypto winter but coverage of NFTs proceeds apace. This cheat sheet focuses on 14 targets in business titles and trades. We omitted the crypto verticals; dozens of targets populate them and are easy to find.
Who runs Tier 1 video operations? Here’s who we have for you. We left out Bloomberg from the list but all those players — and there are many — can be found in a separate cheat sheet.
The acronym “CPO” can mean a lot of different things in business and technology. That’s one reason why it’s tough to spot targets who cover chief product officers. Here’s our rundown.
This SWMS cheat sheet is unlike any other we’ve done, combining insights on contributed posts and paid posts across 146 publications in B2B and B2C.
By request, here’s a revamped list of sustainability reporters, 17 in all. Good mix of Tier 1 and verticals. We avoided targets who address the topic only occasionally.

Well, for now it’s Jim Jordan… but such news illustrates the kind of world we seem to be headed for. Adweek has the details, subscription required.
No “predictions” post will appear on this site. That said, quite a number of subscribers have asked for a Zoom/MS Teams presentation on what 2025 will bring. A conversation is precisely the right tool for the job. After the election — and with AI transforming publishing and life — “2025” is best discussed among peers, not predicted. So if you’d like to have a confidential group exchange on what stands to unfold, and why, and how comms pros can come out on top in spite of it all, drop a line and we shall schedule something.
According to Adweek, Omnicom CEO John Wren and IPG CEO Philippe Krakowsky were in merger talks for eleven and a half months before the transaction was announced this week. Amazing that it didn’t leak.
Should PR pros stop visiting X, with all its lies and hate? It’s only going to get worse. Or are tidbits from targets too important to walk away from? Click here to watch tech edit vet David Strom and I disagree (at high speed) about this, as one compelling visual after another pops up on your screen. In 2025, SWMS will officially launch “SWMS Sound Thinking,” designed to be “argumentative insight in six minutes or less.” Each segment will explore a timely and controversial topic of interest to tech comms pros. This prototype runs 5:25. Hope you enjoy it — feedback vital and welcome! –Sam
New EIC Jamie Heller has asked her reporters to start going on camera — for the BI TikTok channel — to explain the big, deep-divey story they just published. Other publications do this — especially archival Fortune. BI is now on that too. Game on.
At this time last year, Eric Newcomer and his two podcast co-hosts — Max Child and James Wilsterman — each formed an “AI startup fantasy team” and picked five AI startups to seed their rosters. We’re now in year 2 and it’s time to draft again. The podcasters wonder… which startups do they dump? Which do they add? The player whose startups accumulate the most total value by Nov. 1, 2028 is the winner, so there’s plenty of time to make adjustments. Here’s a link to the AI fantasy team podcast — you may need a password. Not sure.
