Inside BAM's Toolkit: Four Tech Must-Haves

As a communications agency for VC and tech startups, BAM is always evolving. In storytelling, in tech, in everything we do. That is, we’re constantly looking to level-up the creative strategies and relationships that land those client-wins. As the Senior Community Manager, I was recently asked, “but how do you keep it all moving so smoothly?” 

Let’s be real – whether we’re running a PR campaign or a multi-day event, our incredible people are the heart of our team. But in today’s ever-evolving digital world, the right tools foster creativity. Our must-have tech elevates everything we do, so we're pulling back the curtain on four tools BAM can’t live without. 

Here’s what inside our toolkit:

1. Airtable. Forget clunky spreadsheets with confusing formulas. Airtable is our backbone for everything community-related. Media lists? Tracked. Event attendees? Managed. This blog post? Status-updated. Customizable views and integrations mean we can pivot quickly, keeping workflows and team members on the same page.

2. OnePitch. Media relations is an art, and every PR pro knows landing coverage takes more than just an email. OnePitch helps craft tailored pitches to find exactly the right journalists to amplify our clients’ voices. It’s not just outreach – it’s the end of bad pitches and the start of great stories, with online and in-person community. Plus, it doesn’t break the bank.

3. Notebook LM. Ever struggle to organize your thoughts or find a connection between topics? We’ve been there, too. Think of Notebook LM as a meeting room for ideas. It’s a personal research assistant and note-taking tool. Our favorite feature? Notebook LM listens in on our meetings, creating quizzes and podcasts from our team’s conversations. Bonus points: it’s user-friendly.

4. Fathom. Goodbye, note-taking anxiety. An AI-powered meeting assistant that integrates with Zoom, Fathom automatically records, transcribes, and takes notes. Hiring interviews, external client meetings, internal stand-ups, you name it. Now our team can be 100% present, knowing key takeaways and action items are always covered.

Getting It Done

At BAM, our team's expertise creates meaningful connections and moves stories forward. These four tools not only empower our team’s work – they allow us to 10x on our client deliverables.
