SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Method Communications today announced Tim Turpin, former Sparkpr San Francisco general manager, has joined as an executive vice president. Turpin will provide strategic guidance for the integrated communications agency’s largest accounts and fortify Method’s presence and prominence in San Francisco.
With more than 20 years of experience in public relations and marketing, Turpin brings significant experience developing and executing successful communications strategies for founders of innovative technology companies, venture capital firms and their portfolio companies. At Method, Turpin joins a rapidly expanding team that experienced 90 percent staff growth in the last year and is now approaching 70 employees across its San Francisco, Salt Lake City and Los Angeles offices. In addition to staff growth, Method has increased annual revenue by nearly 600 percent since its inception in 2010.
“Method has built a great reputation, a strong sense of identity and purpose, along with a tight-knit team that is highly motivated to do excellent work,” said Turpin. “I’m excited to continue working with leading entrepreneurs and investors while helping Method significantly increase its profile in Silicon Valley and drive expansion into new markets. There is no doubt in my mind that Method is well on the way to becoming one of the top tech communications agencies in the country.”
In the last year, Method has aggressively expanded its client roster of “unicorns” (startups with valuations greater than $1 billion), including global payments technology company Adyen; personal finance platform Credit Karma; next-generation enterprise computing company Nutanix; cloud native platform Pivotal Cloud Foundry; e-learning platform Pluralsight; and enterprise survey platform provider Qualtrics. Method provides a full array of integrated communications services, including media relations and comprehensive integrated marketing campaigns incorporating content creation, social media and digital media.
“In just a year and a half since opening our San Francisco office, Method has become one of the go-to agencies for some of the hottest companies in Silicon Valley and beyond. We represent more unicorns than any agency of our size, which is a testament to our team’s ability to act as a strategic partner for our clients as they grow,” said David Parkinson, co-founder and CEO of Method. “I am beyond thrilled to welcome Tim to Method. He will play an instrumental role in bolstering our San Francisco presence and providing great strategy for our clients.”
As GM of Sparkpr San Francisco, Turpin was responsible for growing the agency’s locally-based practice groups while overseeing the firm’s VC and energy tech clients. He previously led Sparkpr’s venture capital and green tech practice for nearly eight years. Prior to joining Sparkpr, Tim spent seven-plus years at The OutCast Agency.
