Global Results Communications

What Global Results Communications does

Global Results Communications (GRC) is a privately held, founder-led public relations agency founded in 2005 and headquartered in Santa Ana, California, with a secondary presence in Irvine. The firm specializes in technology public relations and serves enterprise and startup clients across telecom, networking, software, AI, space, satellite, IoT, fintech, and consumer sectors. Its service portfolio covers media relations, earned media placements, thought leadership, content creation, influencer and analyst relations, and crisis communications, with international execution capabilities across Europe (Belgium, Netherlands, Germany) and Latin America (Colombia, Mexico, Brazil).

The underlying "technology" is the firm's human capital and intellectual property rather than a software platform. GRC operates a multi-channel content engine built around the GRC PR 360 sub-brand, which includes a weekly podcast, an insights blog, and an education program (apprenticeship, bi-annual workshops, quarterly mentorship). A proprietary annual international journalist survey — covering 1,500+ respondents in its 2025 edition — generates recurring thought leadership and is used to support client positioning. No API, SDK, or proprietary software product is offered.

GRC's business model is professional services: custom-priced, multi-year retainer engagements with enterprise technology clients. It goes to market via direct enterprise sales supplemented by event participation (CES, Mobile World Congress, NAB Show) and inbound from its podcast and content channels. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm is owned and led by founder-CEO Valerie Christopherson, has no institutional funding or parent company, and has accumulated multiple industry awards including MarCom Platinum, Globee Gold, CEO World Awards, Inc. 5000, and Deloitte Technology Fast 500.
