Otter PR has added yet another award to the long list it has earned for its innovative approach to public relations.
On August 22, 2023, the Tampa Bay Business Journal announced that Otter was one of this year’s Inno Honorees. The award commends Otter for elevating Tampa Bay to become a leading innovation hub. Otter is one of only 23 local startup companies to earn the award.
“When we started this firm, we had a vision to transform the industry,” says CEO and co-founder Scott Bartnick. “We wanted to go beyond the status quo and find new ways to tell our clients’ stories, engage their audiences, and build meaningful media relations. This award is validation that our pioneering spirit and commitment to innovation is paying off.”
“I’m so proud of our team for pushing boundaries and challenging the typical PR agency playbook,” adds CMO and co-founder Jay Feldman. “We know there is always more work to be done, but becoming an Inno Honoree is an exciting milestone that energizes us to keep reinventing how brands authentically interact with the world.”
Inno honorees will be celebrated on September 28, 2023, during a ceremony at the Hilton Tampa Downtown. Other honorees include a number of top Tampa Bay tech startups.
