Bhava Communications: Emeryville B2B Tech PR Profile

Originally published August 2018. Updated October 14, 2026.

What is Bhava Communications?

Bhava Communications is a Bay Area B2B technology PR and marketing agency founded in 2009 by Liz Zaborowska. It is based in Emeryville, California, with a second office in Austin, Texas, and works with technology companies from pre-launch startups to public enterprises. The firm is privately held and founder-led.

Who founded and leads Bhava Communications?

Liz Zaborowska founded Bhava in 2009 during a technology recession, as social media was beginning to move into B2B communications, according to a third-party company profile that identifies her as founder and CEO. A Stevie Awards biography names Amber Winans as managing director and credits her with shaping the Bhava brand and building communications programs from the ground up; her current role was not re-verified. EPR's earlier profile described Zaborowska's education and board roles, including the Responsible AI Institute, which could not be confirmed and have been removed.

What does Bhava Communications do?

Bhava offers PR strategy, proactive and rapid-response media outreach, launches, contributed content, speaking and awards programs, measurement and social media programs, according to a third-party company profile. In April 2025 Zaborowska described the firm as a "polyglot agency" that combines brand, PR, content, research, social, demand generation and sales enablement, per the same profile. EPR's technology PR section covers the wider category.

Which clients has Bhava Communications worked with?

A PR News Jobs company profile lists Cloudera, Engine Yard, IBM and Pure Storage as representative clients. Bhava generated 40 articles over more than three months for Tray.ai's 2024 and 2025 AI agent research and product campaign, and its 2016 Hedvig launch campaign produced more than 60 articles, according to the third-party profile. A Stevie Awards biography says leading venture capital firms, including Andreessen Horowitz, Accel Partners, Battery Ventures, Greylock Partners and Index Ventures, treat Bhava as a short-list agency for portfolio companies. That is a statement about the firm's reputation with investors and not a client list.

What recognition has Bhava Communications received?

Bhava won a 2016 PR News Agency Elite award for its Hedvig B2B launch campaign, was named to the Inc. 5000 for three consecutive years from 2014 through 2016, and was in the 2016 Holmes Report fast-movers ranking with reported 51.5% growth, according to a third-party company profile. EPR's earlier profile also cited a 2024 Inc. Best Workplaces listing, which could not be confirmed and is not repeated.

How does Bhava Communications compare with other technology PR firms?

Bhava is a small technology specialist, so it compares with other focused firms in the PR agency profiles directory. Related technology profiles include the Barokas Communications profile for a Seattle tech firm now inside FINN Partners, the Ketner Group profile for a retail technology specialist and the Hotwire profile for a global tech consultancy. The B2B PR tag collects related profiles.
