Press Release: Trainer Communications Changes Name to 10Fold; Opens New Southern California Office

SAN FRANCISCO, CA–(Marketwired – Jun 10, 2015) – Trainer Communications, a full-service B2B technology public relations agency, announced today that it is changing its name to 10Fold. The new brand reflects the agency’s accelerated growth and client success in the B2B technology public relations space. Also today, the award-winning agency announced its expansion into the burgeoning Southern California tech market, unveiling a new regional office in Capistrano Beach.

Serving Silicon Valley’s leading tech companies for more than 20 years, 10Fold (www.10Fold.com) features many competitive differentiators, including:

• Metrics Matter™, a nationally-acclaimed quantitative and qualitative approach to metrics forecasting that ensures communications and marketing programs achieve their desired outcomes
• SharkTank, an annual media event designed for high-tech startups to test their business pitch with renowned print, online and broadcast reporters
• Security Never Sleeps, an annual media event and luncheon that takes place during the North American RSA tradeshow and features a live panel discussion and audience Q&A with a number of leading cybersecurity executives, media and analysts

Established in 1995, 10Fold has represented more than 350 B2B technology clients, launched more than 1,800 new companies and products, issued more than 6,000 press releases, and secured hundreds of thousands of articles for its clients in technology, vertical, business and broadcast outlets.

“After two decades in business and experiencing double-digit year-over-year growth for the past several years, 10Fold currently supports more than 40 clients, including global and public companies. Riding the wave of this record-setting momentum, now is the time to break out of the niche boutique agency mold and redefine ourselves as a national leader in B2B technology public relations,” said Susan Thomas, founder and CEO of 10Fold. “We selected the name 10Fold because we believe it represents the exponential growth of our technology clients, as well as the value we deliver tying their business objectives to measurable outcomes.”

For the past 20 years, 10Fold has provided award-winning service for B2B technology companies specializing in Big Data, consumer tech, enterprise software and AppDev solutions, mobile, telecom, networking, IT security, cloud and storage. 10Fold’s litany of accolades include the Hermes Creative Awards, Bulldog Media Relations Awards, Videographer Awards, PRSA Awards, and the MarCom Awards.

While the name change reflects an exciting new chapter for 10Fold, the one thing that has not and will not change is the experienced and talented staff. Unlike other general-purpose public relations agencies where employees are often tasked with client work that is outside of their scope of knowledge, 10Fold team members are specialists dedicated to a specific technology category.

“In the disruptive world of technology, it is critical to have a creative, fast-paced and experienced team to strategize, coordinate, drive and accelerate public relations efforts,” Thomas continued. “At 10Fold, our teams are built upon the core principles of teamwork, accountability, fun and integrity. All 10Fold team members epitomize those key values to deliver extraordinary results for our clients.”
