About us

A strategic communications agency, Inkhouse partners with innovators who are creating new markets or disrupting old ones—crafting stories and meeting audiences where they are. In 2007, we began as an agency for early-stage companies with a founder who came from venture capital. We saw how data could build credibility and how social media could catapult new experts into awareness. It pushed us to integrate media relations with digital strategies. We reinvented how we secured the reach and influence of our clients. And we continue to do so. We built our reputation one client at a time, and it’s made us a sought-after agency for pre- and post-IPO technology innovators and Fortune 500 companies. Inkhouse is an Orchestra company. Orchestra is a strategic communications and marketing company built for today’s complex and fragmented world. The company combines executive advisory, strategy development, and tactical execution across channels—with 700+ experts across consumer and lifestyle, technology, nonprofit and philanthropy, real estate, sports, travel, hospitality and more.

    “This technology is coming for all of us, good or bad.” AxiosMegan Morrone couldn't have said it better. Her visit to SLC (my beloved home!) today is a reminder for so many that the AI storyline extends far beyond national headlines and that every local community is having its own conversation. And for us right now in Utah? It's very much environmental. But no matter where you live, Megan brought up important questions that have likely crossed your mind:   - Who is held accountable when AI makes a mistake?  - Is the rapid proliferation of AI comparable to social media ten years ago? Will it bring similar perils? Will we look back, wondering how did we not realize it?  - What do we do about data centers? How will we protect our kids from the dangers of AI? Are we all going to lose our jobs? What about humanity? None of these questions are easy to answer, but it is very important that we do. Helping our clients at Inkhouse, an Orchestra company, navigate how to do that thoughtfully is why I love what I do. And seeing one of my favorite reporters ask the tough stuff in my backyard is just the cherry on top.

  • Welcome to the machine vs. machine era of cybersecurity 🤖 In The CEO Series from Executive House, our clients and cybersecurity leaders from Doppel, Gigamon, Kai, Ping Identity, Orca Security, Sonatype, and Vectra AI explore what it’s like to have AI dominate both sides of the security battlefield, and what it means for the companies building to defend against autonomous threats, intelligent defense, and nonstop escalation.

  • Conversations this week made it clear that the politics of AI are becoming just as important as, if not more than, the market and technical implications of the technology. Our CEO Jason Morris explains why aligning business strategy, communications, and policy now is table stakes as scrutiny around AI intensifies. Companies that can clearly explain what they do, why they matter, and how they engage policymakers will have a major advantage. 👇

    Three of the biggest risks to the upcoming AI IPO wave, in no particular order: - AI sentiment in markets outside of healthcare and cause-related sectors - AI policy writ large - Lack of understanding that all AI is not the same To tackle the first, you need storytelling nuance and the ability to anticipate objections not just from your core audiences, but also from the stakeholders those audiences care about. To preempt the second, create a strategy and tactical plan, with desired outcomes, for engaging with policymakers, agencies, and their constituencies that could impact your business through new laws, regulations, or rules. Finally, you have to be able to explain why your approach is not just novel, but also why it matters - in plain language. If people can't understand what you do and why it's important, you are ceding a massive competitive advantage to a competitor. This week, Orchestra hosted an event where our own David Plouffe and Big Technology's Alex Kantrowitz sat down to talk about how AI policy and future elections could shape the playing field for AI. During the conversation, David talked about how AI could be the central issue for the next Presidential election, and he didn't rule out it playing a big role in the midterms. AI is going to be a political football in a way we haven't seen yet, and companies need to be ready for the spotlight and scrutiny. If you're thinking about going public in the next 12-18 months, now is the time to be proactive and align business strategy, communications, and policy. #ipo #AI #policy #technology

  • Thank you to Alex Heath and Ellis Hamburger for having us at their ACCESS Podcast launch party and live recording (dropping soon) with Substack CEO, Chris Best. 💡A soundbite that has us thinking post-event: “With the decline of reading rates across the country, maybe the standard format just hasn’t been right for everyone.” We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: SF is so back.

  • Inkhouse is on the ground, coast-to-coast. This week, our teammates traveled across the country for on-site facility tours, in-person new-business pitches, networking events with media, and client strategy sessions. We love any opportunity to connect with our colleagues and clients from different cities and offices IRL.

  • Alex Kantrowitz of Big Technology and Orchestra Partner David Plouffe joined us in San Francisco to answer big questions that have been on all of our minds, like: How are we navigating data centers, AI safety, and the technology race we find ourselves in with China? With midterms around the corner and voter sentiment around AI on the decline, policy leaders (and comms pros) need to think about how to actually communicate about AI. TL;DR from David Plouffe: Say what you believe. Thank you to everyone who joined us. Stay tuned for a full recap of the conversation.

  • HLTH USA speaker submissions are now open. Trying to figure out how to get your spokesperson on the stage? Look no further! Inkhouse SVP, Stephanie Fergione, met with HLTH’s Head of Content, Jody Tropeano Greene, to learn more about how the programming comes together and what makes a speaker stand out amongst the 2k submissions they receive each year. Lessons learned:   ✔️Talking heads spewing company messaging won’t be taking the stage. Make sure your talking points are unique, challenging, and address real issues happening today. ✔️ Submissions should be well-rounded and highlight a speaker’s entire professional experience rather than just the role they’re in now.  ✔️Keep it short, sweet, and punchy. ✔️ Bonus points if you’re someone who can shake things up on stage–bring your passion and opinions to the table! A full recap of the conversation can be found in our blog and on our YouTube channel. And if you’re looking for support in your submission this year, reach out to us! https://lnkd.in/gXhi8axu  https://lnkd.in/gFMqsdDa

  • We attended TechCrunch’s StrictlyVC event in San Francisco last week, and the takeaway was evident: physical industries are actually meeting the moment in a crowded AI hype cycle. More below from our #client, Eclipse, on how their thesis predated this market trend.

    Recently, Eclipse Founder and CEO Lior Susan sat down with TechCrunch's Marina Temkin, CFA to lay out the thesis Eclipse has been building toward for a decade. The argument is simple: 85% of world GDP lives in atoms, not bits — manufacturing, semis, supply chain, defense, energy — and that's where the next decade of value gets built. Eclipse has been pounding this table since 2015, back when it was lonely. The market has finally caught up. In Lior's words, "The real moats in software are gone. You can vibe-code whatever you want." You cannot vibe-code a wafer fab, a robotics stack, or a defense supply chain. The moat has moved back to the physical world — to capital intensity, hard tech, and operational depth. Watch the full session here: https://bit.ly/3QSY53v
