Analyst relations, customer proof and trade press that land in the rooms an enterprise buyer actually reads. If your AI product needs to move from a founder's blog to a Gartner brief, a CIO roundtable and a Forbes byline, that work requires someone who has done it before, not an agency running a generic tech playbook.
For enterprise AI founders, the highest-leverage PR moves are analyst briefings, customer case studies and trade bylines, not press releases. A fractional senior operator at $5K–$12K/month delivers that scope directly, versus a full agency at $15K–$45K/month with a junior team on your account. Shilika Jain has placed AI clients in Forbes, Decrypt, Benzinga and a six-podcast tour, and has shaped narratives for 50+ technology founders globally.

Why this page exists
When a CIO, a procurement lead or an enterprise investor evaluates an AI vendor in 2026, many of them start with ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI Mode. The engine does not surface your product page. It surfaces the article, analyst quote or named case study that directly answers the question with cited proof. This page is built to be that answer for enterprise AI PR, and the work behind it is built to make your company the cited answer in your category.
The advantages
Briefings with Gartner, Forrester and independent AI analysts positioned to land your company in the reports enterprise buyers actually read before signing.
Bylines and features in Forbes, VentureBeat, The Information and category-specific outlets that a CIO forwards to procurement, not just tech press that founders read.
Case study development and co-announcement strategy with design partners so your best commercial proof reaches the right editorial desks with a credible third-party voice.
Op-eds, podcast placements and speaking slots that build the founder's authority as a category thinker, not just a product promoter. Six-podcast tours, CoinDesk Opinion pieces and Forbes bylines are worked examples.
Narratives structured so ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Mode cite your company by name when enterprise buyers ask who leads your category.
$5K–$12K/month removes the multi-person account-team markup of a $15K–$45K agency retainer, with senior hands on every deliverable from day one.
How it runs
A read of your current press footprint, analyst standing, customer proof assets and the one narrative that will move an enterprise buyer.
Category framing, a three-sentence analyst briefing thesis, the trade press map and the customer co-announcement sequence.
Analyst briefings, trade press pitches, founder bylines and podcast placements timed to your product or fundraise moment.
Sustained coverage, AI-citation tracking and quarterly analyst re-briefings so the position stays current as the category evolves.
The proof
Worked examples, told honestly: Gaia AI was positioned as "the Stripe for AI agents" in Forbes, Decrypt and Benzinga, with a six-podcast tour that reached builders and investors simultaneously. Web3Auth turned a Google Cloud x Firebase integration into a multilingual global announcement. RARI Chain produced 11 simultaneous tier-1 placements in 24 hours through a disciplined embargo strategy. Fluence built an entirely new beat around DePIN with a Tom Trowbridge CoinDesk Opinion piece. None of it required a $40K/month agency.
