Broadsheet Communications is a full-service public relations and digital communications agency founded in 2017 by Ben Billingsley, headquartered in NYC at 41 East 11th Street. The agency works with leading digital media and technology brands and has served as agency-of-record for The New York Times, Forbes, Bloomberg Media Group, Future, Newsweek, MSNBC, and Gannett — building one of the deepest media-industry client books in the independent NYC market.
Founding and ownership
Ben Billingsley founded Broadsheet in 2017 after more than two decades across media, advertising, ad tech, and technology communications. He remains CEO and Founder. The agency is independently owned, with approximately 16 employees and an estimated $3.8M in annual revenue as of August 2025. The "Broadsheet" name reflects the firm's working thesis: serious, top-tier press coverage — not soundbite churn — is still the lever that materially moves a business.
Specialties
Broadsheet's core practice spans media relations, content strategy, M&A positioning, crisis communications, thought leadership, social media, data-driven marketing, and analyst relations. The firm specializes in working with new and emerging brands in the digital media space, and with traditional media companies adapting to the consumer-attention shift.
Broadsheet Intelligence — July 2025 launch
In July 2025, Broadsheet launched Broadsheet Intelligence, a new strategic advisory unit focused on media messaging, brand positioning, and executive thought leadership. Alex Wolf was named Managing Director to lead the practice. The unit was built to be practitioner-led — frameworks and deliverables refined over two decades of client work — and to be immediately actionable across earned, owned, and paid activation.
Notable client work
The agency's roster includes The New York Times, Forbes, Bloomberg Media Group, Future, Newsweek, MSNBC, and Gannett (media side), and consumer technology and ad-tech clients on the brand side. The publishing-industry concentration is unusual among independent boutiques and gives the firm a distinctive seat in the media communications conversation.
