Brandon Watts
Founder & Principal
Brandon has been involved with PR and marketing for more than 18 years. He’s worked with brand new startups, well-known companies with hundreds of millions of users, and everything in-between. He’s served as a Global PR Lead, Account Director, Social Media Practice Lead, and a Product / Technology / Brand Advocate while working with companies both directly and through other agencies.
Additionally, Brandon started blogging and writing about technology before people even knew what a blog was. He was a columnist for over 11 years, and he still contributes to publications such as Fast Company, Entrepreneur, Adweek, Wired, and The Next Web.
Brandon is also the creator of the award-winning Leopard programming language, which was a tool that made it easy for anyone to create their own software. Thanks in part to a partnership with WeatherBug, Leopard was able to reach a large community of users and students.
Don’t just take our word for it
Brandon helped us to dramatically increase exposure in the US and supported our global content team with key pitch messaging, press releases, success stories, and more. Brandon consistently offers up good ideas and can always be counted on to follow through with everything he says he will do. He is always a pleasure to work with and delivers quality work on time and on budget.
Over the years, Wattsware has helped to make the US our fastest-growing market, they've got us coverage in top-tier publications, and they've developed and executed creative campaigns that have delivered measurable results.
Wattsware helped us develop an effective PR strategy that has led to ongoing attention from well-known publications, reporters, analysts, podcasters, and other influencers.
Brandon and his team have surpassed all of our expectations. They've made a huge contribution to our success by leveraging a rare network of contacts, coupled with incredible copywriting and pitching skills. I'm extremely pleased with their results.
Brandon is a top-notch professional with real social media marketing savvy. He's a real pleasure to work with and someone you can trust - honest, creative, reliable, proactive, and communicative. I'll look to him in the future when we have another project to do.
Wattsware gets the job done in an efficient and transparent way, which is perfect for startups. Unlike other PR agencies, they actually deliver the results that you want.
