Re-establishing a New York Tech Icon

The challenge

Etsy, positively-regarded in consumer circles, was overlooked by business press for years. The e-commerce giant sought an agency partner that could help re-energize its corporate image while showcasing its prowess as one of New York City’s most important tech companies.

Etsy selected Haymaker because it was uniquely suited to meet this challenge. By first crafting a PR strategy that dug into Etsy’s tech bonafides, Haymaker went to work to expand the company’s spokesperson bench to feature executives like CTO Mike Fisher. We launched a multifaceted PR program, focusing on national tech outlets and events that would boost Etsy’s profile among target audiences.
