What Kite Hill PR does

Kite Hill PR, LLC is a privately held integrated communications agency headquartered in New York City and operating as a fully remote organization with team members distributed across the United States and the United Kingdom. Founded by CEO Tiffany Guarnaccia, the firm specializes in B2B technology public relations and serves clients ranging from startups and scaleups to Fortune 500 companies across verticals including AI, adtech, cybersecurity, climate tech, media & entertainment, data centers, and retail media. The agency's service portfolio spans public relations, brand positioning, digital experiences, paid media, social media management, B2B influencer programs, and event management, anchored by its proprietary Agile PR Sprint® methodology for dynamic, responsive campaign execution.

In August 2025 the agency launched AI Visibility audits and consultancy services, offering Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) to help clients build presence in AI-powered search engines such as Perplexity, Gemini, and SearchGPT. Kite Hill also formalized a dedicated AI PR Services practice for generative AI, ML startups, and enterprise AI platforms. Internally, the firm uses AI for content creation and optimization but maintains human-led storytelling as the core of its delivery model.

Revenue is generated primarily through monthly retainer engagements with a senior-led account team, supplemented by hourly-billed consulting (crisis communications, market positioning, strategic partnerships) and project-based work. Pricing is custom-quoted and not publicly disclosed. The company is an independent founder-led LLC with no disclosed external funding or institutional investors; it expanded through the acquisition of Cutler PR in February 2018. Named clients include Uber, Snap, Tripadvisor, The Home Depot, Teads, AutogenAI, atNorth, Sermo, CyberGym, Sapphire Technologies, and Included.
