MaintainPR is a new London and San Francisco based consultancy aimed at the online startup community. Our vision is to bring together social and traditional media communications with search engine optimization -- raising awareness as well as visibility for emerging brands, while helping to create a business that is sustainable and attractive to investors.

We love our job, and the power of the social web... using social networking sites, traditional press pitching, blogs, online video and search marketing to help you see real results in user acquisition and product uptake.

Founded in 2011, MaintainPR is a collaborative consultancy, made up of social media and SEO veterans from both sides of the Atlantic, with a combined working experience of over 10+ years in our respective markets.

MaintainPR founder, Ryan Sommer, started the consultancy after travelling from the San Francisco tech startup scene to London in order to work with a global mobile content company in marketing and user acquisition. After managing a revamped social media and PR messaging campaign for the mobile social aggregator Hellotxt (http://hellotxt.com), Ryan remains active in the Old Street Roundabout U.K. technology community. Prior to his U.K. working experience, Ryan was a part of several successful teams within the agencies A&R Partners, and The Horn Group, and also worked in-house with the definitive social media companies Digg and Slide.
