Bolt PR is a consumer tech PR agency with more than a decade of CES experience. We secure pre-show media briefings, on-site booth interviews, CES Innovation Award nominations, and post-show coverage that turns a CES booth into measurable brand
Build My CES 2027 ProgramA CES PR agency plans and runs a brand's earned-media campaign across the three phases of the show. Before CES, the agency targets press, locks pre-show briefings at Media Days, Pepcom, and ShowStoppers, submits CES Innovation Award entries, and sets embargoes for launch news. During CES, the team books and staffs booth interviews, brings tier-one and trade reporters to the floor, and runs real-time social. After CES, the agency pursues product-roundup placements and reports coverage, impressions, and share of voice.
Increasingly, a CES PR agency also engineers that earned coverage to surface in AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude, where buyers now ask which products to watch at CES.
For more than a decade, Bolt PR has powered up brands at CES with PR and marketing support before, during, and after the show.
We secure the meetings that decide CES coverage before the show floor opens. That means targeted reporter outreach, pre-show briefings at CES Media Days, Pepcom, and ShowStoppers, embargoed launch news, and CES Innovation Award submissions to extend your earned-media footprint.
Our team staffs your booth and the show floor, coordinating product demos and one-on-one interviews with tier-one and trade media. We've booked CES interviews in Wirecutter, CNET, TechRadar, ZDNet, USA Today, Digital Trends, and Bloomberg.
We turn your CES presence into online reach with a show-specific content and community plan that taps live CES trends, hashtags, and the real-time conversation reporters and buyers are watching.
CES coverage doesn't end in Las Vegas. We chase product-roundup placements, follow up on briefings, and deliver a full impact report: placements, impressions, and share of voice.
Awards are the badge buyers and reporters notice first. We identify the right CES Innovation Award categories, write and submit entries against the criteria judges actually score, and build the announcement plan that turns a nomination or win into coverage. One client earned three CES award wins on the way to acquisition.
Buyers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude for the best products at CES — and the answers are built from earned media. We structure your launch news, secure the authoritative outlets AI engines cite most, and build the entity and schema signals that make your product the one the model names, so your CES coverage surfaces in AI search and not just the press.
End-to-end management of all of the above, so your team ships product while we run the show. Inclusive of pre-show strategy, booth publicity, social activation, and post-show momentum.
Start your CES PR program four to six months before the show. Pre-show briefing slots at Media Days, Pepcom, and ShowStoppers fill early, embargoed exclusives need lead time to place, and CES Innovation Award deadlines fall months ahead of January. Brands that wait until December compete for the scraps of reporter attention.























































A wellness consumer tech product company partnered with Bolt to drive PR for the launch of a waterproof 24/7 heart-rate and activity monitor. The first step: a beta launch at CES. Bolt PR crafted a compelling and differentiating brand narrative to break through an increasingly competitive marketplace, earn CES media buzz, and position the brand for an aggressive crowdfunding campaign. As an experienced CES PR firm, we proactively pitched media attending CES, crafted story angles and coordinated on-site interviews, and nominated the product for CES innovation awards to further extend the media opportunities and coverage. After just a few months of working together, the company was acquired before ever officially going to market.

Buyers no longer stop at Google. A growing share of consumer tech research now starts in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude, where "best products at CES 2027" and "new smart home devices from CES" return AI-generated answers built from earned media.
Bolt PR engineers your CES coverage to surface in those answers. We structure launch news, secure the authoritative outlets AI engines cite most, and build the entity and schema signals that make your product the one the model names. The result: your CES launch shows up where the press writes about it and where buyers now ask.
This is the same Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) discipline Bolt PR runs for brands year-round, applied to the highest-visibility week in consumer tech.

CES PR programs are usually priced as short‑term, launch‑style campaigns and can range from lean pre‑show outreach packages to fully managed before/during/after programs that mirror broader tech PR project fees of roughly $15,000–$35,000 per month depending on scope, speed, and range of services. Most consumer tech brands treat CES PR as a strategic investment where a credible presence leads to significant media coverage that translates into brand visibility, product reviews, influencer collaborations, new channel partners, and increased sales. The best way to budget accurately is to align deliverables (messaging, media/analyst outreach, on‑site support, content, and measurement) with your business goals and then build a custom scope.
With more than 4,000 exhibitors competing for limited reporter attention, an experienced CES agency is often the difference between a booth no one covers and a launch that earns tier-one placements. One Bolt PR client earned 600+ placements and three CES award wins, and was acquired before going to market.
CES draws thousands of tier-one tech, business and lifestyle media including Wirecutter, CNET, The Verge, WIRED, TechRadar, ZDNet, USA Today, Digital Trends, and Bloomberg.
Yes. We've launched new brands from Eureka Park, including a smart scale that secured a dozen media appointments during the show.
These are the official and satellite press events where much of CES coverage is set before the show floor opens. Booking and staffing them well is core to a strong CES PR program.
Four to six months before the show. Briefing slots, embargoed exclusives, and CES Innovation Award deadlines all require lead time.
