Largemouth

What Largemouth does

Largemouth Communications, Inc. is a privately held B2B public relations and strategic communications agency founded in 2005 by CEO Brandon Bryce and headquartered at 111 Wheatsbury Drive, Cary, North Carolina. The firm operates a fully remote team of 11-50 employees and positions itself as a consultative extension of client marketing teams, with direct client access to executive leaders rather than a layered account management structure. After roughly 20 years in continuous operation, Largemouth reports that the majority of its clients have worked with the firm for more than five years and that its employee retention rate is approximately three times the industry average for PR agencies.\n\nThe agency delivers seven integrated service modules: media relations, corporate communication, sales enablement, social media, professional writing, reputation management, and communication strategy. It serves enterprise customers across at least ten industry verticals — technology and energy, healthcare and pharmaceutical, consumer and retail, restaurant and hospitality, life sciences, sports and recreation, construction and engineering, government and economic development, professional services, and nonprofits and associations. Named clients include Eaton Corporation, UnitedHealthcare, Del Taco, Verizon Wireless, RBC Bank, Subway, Hooters, Dollar Tree, MyEyeDr., Xylem, Ascom, Rho, Grail, Volvo Penta, Circle K, Golden Corral, and the USO of North Carolina. The offering is a pure-play professional services engagement; there is no proprietary software platform, no mobile app, no API, and no integrations. Quantified campaign outcomes include 62M media impressions for the USO/Kangaroo Express Salute Our Troops campaign, 331M unique viewers for a Del Taco–Cholula activation, 24% foot-traffic lift for Hooters on National Chicken Wing Day, a 300% Instagram follower increase for The Independence Fund, and 13.9M media impressions for McWally's grand opening.\n\nLargemouth generates revenue through project-based and retainer-based professional services engagements, with pricing customized per client and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, combining direct enterprise engagement, website-driven inbound inquiries, and referral-based growth from existing long-tenured accounts. Geographic focus is the U.S. Southeast, though the client roster spans national brands. The firm is founder-led, privately held, with no disclosed institutional funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. AI is used internally for drafting, summarization, and ideation, and the firm has begun publishing advisory content around generative engine optimization (GEO) and answer engine optimization (AEO), but it does not build proprietary AI models. Recognitions include PR Week, PRNews CSR and Digital Awards, Sir Walter Raleigh Awards for Excellence in Communication, NC PRSA top awards in consecutive years, and Triangle Business Journal Best Places to Work.
