For more than three decades, HKA Marcom has provided award-winning communications programs for companies, large and small. We’ve brought awareness to both entrepreneurial and corporate companies.

In 2019, we pivoted into a new, specialized role – serving the growing cadre of companies in deep tech, particularly quantum technology.

Why? We recognized the incredible role quantum tech will play in our lives. We saw the need for an agency filled with former journalists who love nothing better than telling a good, and important, story. Our natural curiosity, scientific communications origins and years of emerging tech experience led us to happily become quantum entangled.

We know how to strategically communicate this complex field in compelling yet understandable terms for a variety of audiences, from investors to potential partners to customers. We do this every day.
