What Sets Us Apart
A Three-Layer Launch Strategy
Most firms focus only on launch day. We build product and service launches in three strategic layers that extend visibility, strengthen authority, and create greater business impact than a single announcement alone.
Layer 1: Launch Day
The initial announcement creates
IVY, 10to1PR's Proprietary AI Tool
Most PR firms use the same tools. We built our own. IVY is our proprietary AI system built to strengthen strategy, execution, and long-term visibility. Combined with the IVY Press Room, it helps your story get found, cited, and trusted across media, AI search, and generative platforms
Our 3×3 Speaker Submission Strategy
Most firms submit one conference or trade show workshop topic. We submit nine. Three distinct topics, each approached from three angles: formal, fun, and urgent, giving event organizers stronger options, increasing acceptance rates, and building long-term thought
