UNBORING
When a project needs more marketing hands, specialist execution, or creative firepower, Unboring are people we like having in the room. They know cybersecurity, they know B2B tech, and crucially, they know how to get stuff done.
GOOD PEOPLE KNOW GOOD PEOPLE.
We work and partner with people and companies we trust, recommend people we rate, and spend time in communities we care about.
MARKETING + COMMS
ALYSSA PALLOTTI TECH PR
Alyssa knows B2B tech, cybersecurity, and the difference between having something worth saying and desperately trying to manufacture a story. She’s smart, pragmatic, and someone we’re very happy to bring into a project when PR and comms need proper specialist attention.
SECURITY + TECHNOLOGY
THINKST CANARY
Thinkst Canary does what it says on the tin extremely well: giving you a high-confidence signal when somebody is somewhere they shouldn’t be. We’ve used it, we’ve seen what it does first hand, and recommending excellent technology is considerably easier when you’ve happily deployed it yourself.
PRODUCT + DESIGN
BORKOWSKY CONSULTING
Martina brings proper product thinking to UX and design, with the added advantage of understanding cybersecurity. She understands technical products, asks the right questions, and is someone we trust to get properly stuck into the problem rather than just making the interface prettier.
PEOPLE + LEADERSHIP
BE WELL MIND
Eric is Sam’s executive coach, which makes this recommendation particularly easy. His approach combines neuroscience with a refreshingly practical understanding of what it’s like to operate under pressure. The result is coaching that changes how you work, not another collection of productivity tricks to feel guilty about ignoring.
RANT EVENTS
RANT brings the cybersecurity community together for carefully curated conversations and wonderfully useful connections. Sam knows their events from both sides, as a subject matter expert and as a vendor sponsor, and now partners with the team as a host.
TLC
Technology Leaders Club are exceptional at getting the right technology leaders together and creating events people want to be part of. Sam has spoken at their events and sponsored them as a vendor, so when we say they’re good, we’ve got plenty of receipts.
CYBER HOUSE PARTY
A volunteer-powered cybersecurity community built around bringing people together and raising money for vital causes. Cyber House Party grew out of lockdown and became a proper fixture in the UK cyber community. Sam volunteers and DJs for them, and has caused more than one conga.
CYBERSECURITY IS BUILT BY FOLKS WHO SHOW UP.
We’ve both benefited from communities where people freely give their time and experience, so we try to do our bit too.
LOOKING FOR SOMETHING WE DON'T DO?
Ask us anyway. If it's adjacent to our world, there's a decent chance we know somebody good.
