Helium Communications
What Clients Are Saying
“The first word that comes to mind when I think about Rebecca West is ‘pro,’ a true master of her craft. She partners seamlessly with senior leaders of growing companies, delivering results in the most efficient and high-impact way possible, all with a pleasant, can-do attitude. If you’re looking for PR that’s high-impact and high-leverage, and you’re part of a growing business, I can’t think of a reason you wouldn’t hire Rebecca West.”
Michael Papay, CEO & Co-founder, Sageful AI (and formerly of Waggl)
“Helium Communications provided a key backstop for all our North American PR and Media needs, as we embarked on a new markets effort to grow business outside our base in Europe. Rebecca's ability to quickly onboard and provide immediate value in deep tech campaigns and outreach proved invaluable. Navigating the through the hype of AI & ML storylines was very important for our agenda as both time and resources were short. Rebecca and Helium was the perfect partner.”
Steven Spieczny, Vice President Marketing, Kognic and Board Director, Impulsus
“Rebecca at Helium Communications has been my go-to PR partner for years. She quickly gets up to speed on complex industries and consistently delivers results — from press releases and contributed articles to executive interviews and award wins. Rebecca balances big-picture strategy with flawless execution. Highly collaborative, organized, and dependable, Rebecca not only secures media opportunities but she also prepares and coaches executives so they feel confident and shine in interviews. I highly recommend Rebecca, not just for getting results, but also for being a joy to work with.”
Imelda Khoo, Fractional CMO and Founder, Bizually
“I view our partnership with Helium Communications as an extension of my own team. Rebecca brings a sharp ability to craft the right story and secure meaningful news coverage that elevates our brand awareness and credibility. Rebecca is also incredibly proactive — consistently identifying media opportunities for us, often without being asked to. This initiative and ownership make Helium feel less like a PR agency and more like a true teammate, deeply invested in our success.”
Ruoting Sun, CMO, GreyNoise Intelligence
“Rebecca and Helium combine senior-level strategy, premium quality, and agility to deliver measurable results that truly move the needle.”
Dan Maier, Chief Marketing Officer, Versa Networks
