Bill Byrne is co-founder and managing director of Remedy Public Relations, known for developing award-winning PR programs that generate significant exposure, regardless of a brand's cachet or budget. Recent cosigns for his PR and earned media expertise come in the form of being named to PR Newswire’s “Ten Influencers To Watch List” and The Propel 100: The Most Influential PR Tech Leaders in the World 2025. For Techstars accelerator participants, he will be able to advise cohorts on how to develop PR campaigns that resonate with media and other marketing tactics. Based in San Diego, Bill's 25-year journey in PR began at the New York City offices of some of the country's most reputable global PR firms. Through the course of his career, Bill has managed public relations and affiliate marketing programs for globally known brands such as Intel, Skullcandy (where he holds the dual role of agency lead and interim PR director), Burton Snowboards, Sony, LG Electronics, and Procter & Gamble, as well as startups and challenger brands in tech, AI, consumer goods, healthcare, finance, food/bev, and the active-outdoor industry. With Remedy, Bill leads a nationwide team of expert PR strategists, influencer experts, and affiliate marketing masterminds who consistently deliver top-tier results for their brand partners. Following the mantra that you can't lead from behind, Bill insists on being active in the media outreach efforts for all of Remedy's partners, ensuring he has first-hand experience with the modern media landscape as he guides his team on plan development. Bill was instrumental in developing Remedy's media-first perspective (as featured by the PR industry trade magazine and SaaS provider Muck Rack), which guides clients in crafting marketing messages and PR programs that align with the needs of highly-coveted media outlets. Bill has frequently been featured in PR and marketing publications to provide insights on leadership and modern PR program execution. He has been asked to speak by the Public Relations Society of New York City on emerging media trends, presented best practices to more than 400 members of Columbia University's communications team, and guest lectured at San Diego State University. His often-irreverent thoughts on how brands should approach the PR landscape have been featured by industry media outlets, including Ragan's PR Daily and Bulldog Reporter. He has been called a PR thought leader by public relations industry resource Prezly and Thrive Global, referenced as a PR guru by TreeHugger, and quoted in The New York Times alongside Gene Simmons of the band KISS. Outside of the Remedy office, Bill is a husband, dad (fur and human), an avid skateboarder, and occasionally can be found playing pickleball. With the mantra "strength away from the desk, brings strength to it," he attends functional fitness classes 4-5 days a week. Bill currently resides in San Diego's Pacific Beach community, where he oversees the efforts of Remedy's PR specialists on both coasts.
