Our Approach
Helium was founded in January 2015 with the mission of providing stellar communications programs at a reasonable cost. We do that by drawing on the expertise of a network of interdisciplinary professionals with decades of experience in strategic communications who have made a deliberate decision to move away from the onerous cost structure and unnecessary overhead of the traditional agency model. The result? Premium quality, measurable results, and ultimate flexibility in service offering and engagement length, all at a price point that isn’t prohibitive for most emerging brands.
We deliver blended communications across a host of earned, owned, shared, and paid communications channels – from PR campaigns that reach the top tier broadcast, online and print news sources, to social media campaigns designed to attract new audiences and engage, to paid content development and placement, to offline event planning and execution. Just tell us what you are hoping to achieve, and we’ll be happy to put together a proposal that works for you.

Testimonials
Margaret Mei Huang, Pageonce (now Check)Rebecca is a top-notch PR strategist and consummate professional, whom I hired when I was in-house at a tech startup. I've known her for about a decade now, and she is always a pleasure to work with, provides great strategic insights and manages an effective team. Since I also worked with Rebecca at the agency, prior to hiring them, I felt I had full-transparency into all aspects of the account. I always felt that I was in good hands. She was diligent in making sure our PR efforts generated results, or would recommend another route. I'd be thrilled to work with Rebecca again.
Susan Doherty, CMO HipmunkRebecca is excellent to work with. She's friendly, creative, and has deep expertise in public relations. Rebecca provided excellent public relations advice and strategic counsel to the Hipmunk team when we needed guidance on securing coverage for new product launches, fundraising, and consumer stories. Her firm, H3O, also provided unique PR services including the "ComContext" to get an in-depth view of how Hipmunk's PR compared to competitors each quarter. It was a pleasure working with Rebecca.
