Challenge
Flexport wanted to transcend its reputation as a supply chain disruptor and establish itself as a globally recognized brand, known beyond logistics for its innovation and impact.
Business Impact
We leveraged unique datasets and crisis-driven media strategies to drive consistent coverage in top-tier publications for Flexport.
We helped Flexport exclusively announce a near-$1B funding round on the cover of Forbes, and top the CNBC Disruptor 50 list. The team remains focused on leveraging Ryan’s reputation as a visionary founder and customer-centric CEO to shape the narrative following his comeback as CEO and industry downturn.
In the wake of global crises, we have facilitated rapid-response media engagement to provide insights on disruptions such as tariffs and the Red Sea attacks, further reinforcing Flexport’s credibility as a leader in logistics and global commerce.
The success of the Flexport initiative was driven by the SBS Comms team, who 829 is excited and proud to have merged with.
