Why I Built LevelUp Communications Agency

Why I Founded LevelUp Communications Agency

Hi, I’m Matthew Kraft. For more than 20 years, I have led B2B communications and public-relations programs across technology, legal, financial services, healthcare, and industrial markets.

My prior corporate and agency public relations work with Stanton PR, Allison+Partners, and SCHOTT has helped me develop deep media relationships and landed brand stories in top-tier traditional media and emerging tech outlets like USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Reuters, CNN, _____. Those experiences taught me that many of the existing and upcoming AI technologies aren't necessarily built for "Main Street" businesses that already own market share or have millions in investor equity. I offer PR Programs and AI sytems that work together to reflect your brand voice and ensure valuable opportunities do not go unanswered.

Realistic Strategy. Stronger Visibility.

I founded this consultancy in 2026 to address the major business shifts among traditional agency service models. Many agencies and mid-size businesses today need more than a traditional agency model—they need dedicated strategists, clear brand positioning, and credible storytelling. LevelUp Communications helps them compete in increasingly crowded markets and competitive financial landscapes with my experience using a variety of media tools.

Working with specialized partners, I help organizations use AI, digital research, authentic storytelling, and data-informed strategic communication plans to build credibility, resilience, and long-term value—with a hyper-focus on speed, agility, and affordability.

The leading brands of tomorrow want less hurdles that paralyze their decision-making and more brand differentiation to navigate market challenges and buying volatility.
