Prepared for Cytidel
A PR and category strategy for Cytidel.
July 2026
How we see you
0%
Coverage from Europe
Over the last twelve months, 52% of your coverage came from Ireland and the UK, none from continental Europe, and not one piece was a feature on the company. The stadium is empty and the raise is in September.
51 days
Ahead of the catalogue
You surface the vulnerabilities under live exploitation on average 51 days before they reach CISA’s KEV list, on models you build and run in-house, with no customer data touching a third-party LLM. A genuine early-warning layer, not another feed.
Unclaimed
Exposure strategy
Tenable, Qualys and Rapid7 list what is vulnerable. Mandiant and Recorded Future still ship PDF reports. No one owns the language for acting on what is actually dangerous, at machine speed. That category is Cytidel’s to define.
European
A European foothold
For six months, Ireland holding the EU presidency opens the European stage: the press, the policy calendar, the platform. We use it as a foothold into the wider European market, positioning Cytidel as a European leader in agentic defence, ahead of the September round.
The Ask
Shape the messaging that earns Cytidel exposure, and plant the category it owns.
Cybersecurity is generic, and generic is invisible. We shape Cytidel’s messaging into a story journalists and investors actually pick up: the two or three themes it can own, so Matt Conlon plus Cytidel means one clear thing. Get the message right and the exposure follows.
Leverage HumanX and Slush to put Cytidel in front of the right investors.
The round opens in September. We use HumanX in Amsterdam and Slush in Helsinki, where the US and European cyber investors gather, to lift Cytidel’s profile in front of the London and New York funds that matter. We build the profile, the raise is yours to run.
The Approach
Set the category and the messaging framework: the two or three themes Cytidel owns, and the words the whole programme runs on.
Finance, pharma and defence, each a monthly beat: what Cytidel did for a European central bank, one of the world’s largest pharma companies, a UK defence contractor. Named angles, unnamed clients.
A recurring index and commentary built from your live threat feed: the overarching data hook that earns tier-one trade coverage and feeds every vertical.
HumanX, Slush and reactive European commentary, plus closed-door CISO round tables, all timed to the September raise.
Media Training
Every high-stakes interview of the year runs through Matt Conlon and the team. We get them ready, led by Mary Calpin, so the message lands the same way every time.
The category and the three or four proof points, so every answer returns to the same story.
Broadcast, podcast and print technique: bridging, soundbites and staying in control of the interview.
Rehearsing the tough ones, the customers you cannot name, the competitors, the ones you would rather not get, so nothing catches you cold.
The founder narrative tuned for the metrics-driven European investor and the vision-driven US one.
Pricing & KPIs
Pre-raise
Months one to three. Build the company and founder profile ahead of the September round: category, messaging, the first vertical beats and HumanX.
Post-raise
Months four to six. Sustain and scale the profile through the close and beyond: continued verticals, sector data and Slush.
Tier 1 and Trade, every quarter
Each quarter: a minimum of 2 to 3 tier-one outlets and 4 trade or tier-two. A floor, not a ceiling.
European events, supported
Hands-on support at two European events across the programme.
CISO round tables
Support convening and publicising closed-door round tables.
Company and founder profile
Two pillars in parallel: the Cytidel story and Matt Conlon as its voice, through op-eds, podcasts and speaking.
Indicative pricing, subject to final scope. Fees quoted exclusive of VAT. €36,000 over six months. The digital and AEO engine is scoped separately as a parallel proposal.
