When Lumen Robotics closed its Series B, the founders had a factory milestone, a hiring surge and a genuinely novel navigation stack — but no public profile. Forbes doesn't write about funding rounds; it writes about what funding makes possible. That distinction shaped the entire campaign.
Pressmark Communications spent two weeks inside the company, interviewing engineers and shadowing warehouse pilots. The story we found wasn't the raise — it was the 40% throughput gain at three live customer sites, and a founder who could explain autonomy without jargon.
“Pressmark Communications took our story and made the industry listen. Their strategic guidance and media network were game-changing for our brand.” — Maya Reynolds, Founder, Lumen Robotics
We offered Forbes an exclusive built around customer data and a factory visit, embargoed for the raise announcement. The feature ran the morning of the announcement, and eighteen syndicated pickups followed within 48 hours.
The outcome
The Forbes feature became Lumen's highest-converting asset of the year: investor inbound tripled that quarter, two enterprise pilots cited the article in procurement, and the founders now brief tier-one press quarterly through Pressmark Communications.
