ProGlove
The problem
ProGlove is an industrial wearables tech company that enables manufacturing and logistics staff to work faster, safer, and easier. They faced a typical scaleup problem when they came to Bear Icebox several years ago: They were looking to expand in a market (in this case, the U.S.) but did not have a clear path forward and needed a flexible PR partner to help them continue to scale up. They had secured a little under $10 million but needed to be ambitious and bold to really scale their brand.
The solution
And help them scale up, we did. Bear Icebox developed a PR campaign for the brand to reach industry verticals in the supply chain, logistics, warehousing and retail sectors while spreading the narrative nationally and globally that ProGlove is creating the “human-digital twin” in the industrial space. We focus on a blend of B2B trade, tech and national business press to increase brand awareness in front of potential customers and investors.
