URGENT: Tech/Entertainment Publicist (DC Area) for Live-Event Startup Founder & Showcase

URGENT: Tech/Entertainment Publicist (DC Area) for Live-Event Startup Founder & Showcase Job Description: The Objective: I am a tech founder, executive producer, and artist launching a highly gamified, interactive music showcase on July 23, 2026, at a prominent independent venue in Washington, D.C. This is not a standard concert promotion gig. This show is a live, high-stakes beta test for a licensable B2B enterprise software platform designed to redefine live entertainment infrastructure. I need an elite, aggressive publicist in the DC metro area to control the narrative, land high-impact media placements, and get the right venue executives, tech investors, and journalists in the room. My ultimate goal is to scale this startup into a massive industry standard. I need a publicist who understands how to bridge the gap between a disruptive tech startup story and an explosive local cultural event. The Narrative (Your Ammunition): You will be pitching a dual-threat story to both tech/business journals and music/culture media: The Founder: An enterprise cybersecurity architect with extensive federal and defense system engineering experience, and an access control patent holder, stepping out to revolutionize live music under a dynamic underground moniker. The Tech: A proprietary, zero-latency orchestration platform that turns the crowd's smartphones into synchronized, gamified controllers that interact directly with venue systems (LED walls, audio routing, and backend analytics). The Event: A high-octane live takeover acting as the ultimate proof-of-concept to demonstrate how this software captures first-party identity data and drives direct point-of-sale venue revenue. What You Will Do: Immediate Media Outreach: Secure features, interviews, and mentions in DC tech/business media and local culture/music outlets. Executive Invitations: Personally invite and secure VIP RSVPs from key regional venue owners, live event producers, and local tech angel investors to witness the technology in action on July 23. Founder Profiling: Position the founder as a disruptive innovator crossing the streams of enterprise-grade security architecture and underground music culture. Press Release Generation & Distribution: Draft and distribute a killer press release starting immediately. We do not have time for slow rollouts. What I Need From You: A Deep DC Rolodex: You must have established, active relationships with tech, business, and entertainment journalists in the Washington D.C. area. Speed & Execution: We are three weeks out. Your pitches need to be hitting inboxes within 48 hours of being hired. Shark Mentality: I am not looking for a passive PR agency. I need a strategic partner who knows how to parlay a live cultural event into massive B2B leverage. Budget: Open. Name your price. If you successfully amplify this beta test and help us secure the leverage we need with industry stakeholders, you will become our long-term PR partner as this company scales. Put the words "HARD RESET PR" at the top of your proposal so I know you read this. Send your two best tech or entertainment media placements immediately. Full specific project details and personal background will be unlocked under an NDA.
