In this interview, Pathos Communications founder and CEO Omar Hamdi outlines the company’s strategy to make PR accessible to small- and medium-sized enterprises by combining technology-enabled workflows with a highly distributed client base. Pathos serves clients in 80 countries and is using targeted outreach, its proprietary Pathos Mind AI-agent stack and virtual publicist Pressella to increase sales efficiency and operational leverage. Early internal testing showed Pressella booking seven times as many meetings as human colleagues, with general availability targeted for H127. Hamdi also highlights improving revenue quality, with repeat and recurring customers contributing 36% of H1 revenue, supported by an expansion from one to 15 product lines and a new sales structure that lifted new-client sign-ups by 30% in a month. Looking ahead, growth is expected to come from organic scaling, deeper geographic expansion, further technology deployment and selective, potentially accretive acquisitions.
