Entrepreneurial from the start

Highwire’s dynamic team is driven by a purpose: to empower companies with strategic, integrated programs that create impact. From Fortune-50 powerhouses to high growth startups, we bring passion and expertise to our work, covering domains across healthcare, technology, financial services, security and energy.

Change is constant

Highwire came to life during a period of profound tech evolution – the unveiling of the iPhone, the emergence of social media, the massive shift to cloud-based systems, and the dawn of telemedicine. Change is our constant, and we thrive on it. 

From our early days as a public relations agency to our evolution to an integrated agency with PR, strategic communications and digital marketing expertise, passion and creativity are woven into Highwire’s DNA. We push boundaries, embrace calculated risks, learn from setbacks and celebrate triumphs. We support our client’s bold ambitions with our winning formula: insights + influence = impact.
