What Send / Receive does

Send / Receive is a Berlin-headquartered public relations and communications firm founded in 2020 by Jeremy Higginbotham and Sander Manse. The company provides written and visual communications, profile and story development, media relations, audience research and analysis, public engagement strategy, trend monitoring, graphic design, and art direction and branding services. It serves clients across four primary verticals: contemporary art (museums, galleries, biennales such as Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Serpentine Galleries); architecture and design (including OMA); technology companies seeking cultural positioning; and government and cultural institutions (including the Deputy Ministry for Contemporary Culture in Greece).

The firm operates as a professional services practice rather than a technology platform, with no proprietary software, AI systems, or APIs disclosed. Its go-to-market is founder- and network-led: client acquisition runs through senior advisor relationships, prior affiliations with marquee institutions (OMA, SpaceX, Tesla, Harvard, Microsoft, David Zwirner, Damien Hirst's press team, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen), and referral networks across the contemporary art, architecture, design, and tech worlds. The company has no disclosed funding rounds and is bootstrapped and founder-owned.

Send / Receive maintains its headquarters in Berlin with representative offices in London, Hong Kong, and Riyadh, supported by a team of approximately 14 listed members and senior advisors spanning editorial, research, media relations, design, and public affairs functions. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, consistent with professional services norms.
