Founded in 2012 by tech PR veteran Elliot Tomaeno, ASTRSK is a boutique agency for startups, emerging brands, and category-defining companies willing to embrace their rebellious sides. Over the past 12 months the firm evolved into a tech-native communications partner, working across consumer tech, design, AI, hospitality, retail, and entertainment while curating holistic strategies that span thought leadership, influencer partnerships, affiliate marketing, and events. For Rivella Hospitality, the team launched Hotel Fermata in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, orchestrating a VIP and influencer event in Montauk followed by a press trip that introduced the property to top-tier travel media. For Plaud, ASTRSK led pre-CES strategy and on-the-ground media support, driving sustained visibility across the technology and business press. The agency also helped EVERBLOOM, a next-generation textile company transforming protein-rich waste into luxury-grade performance fibers, to establish itself as a leader in materials innovation during its pilot testing phase. Building on its proprietary platform AMPRSND, ASTRSK continued investing in AI-powered tools for its team, its clients, and the wider founder community, and its eighth annual Pro Bono Contest again provided a year of PR services to an entrepreneur from a historically underrepresented background.
