The work behind the name
Built in the rooms where
technology stories happen.
Joe Austin’s public record traces a specialist career from JPR Communications in the 1990s and early 2000s to vice president of client services at Ventana Public Relations—and back into technology communications programs connected with JPR.
In 2007, PRSourceCode recognized Joe as a “Top Tech Communicator” through a survey of more than 300 IT journalists. The announcement credited more than a decade of strategic planning, media tours, press conferences and media/analyst relations across storage, security and networking, with client placements including CNN, BusinessWeek, USA Today, Bloomberg and the Associated Press.
That history informs AustinPRAR’s operating belief: earn trust before asking for attention. Know the technology. Understand the reporter’s job. Prepare executives for the hard question. Never sacrifice a durable relationship for a hollow impression.
