Bruno Solari
Founder
SolComms
Bruno Solari has more than a decade of experience leading public relations for startups, growth-stage, and publicly traded companies across healthcare, tech, lifestyle, and more. His work has landed clients on the covers of Fast Company and Entrepreneur, on main stages at Fortune Brainstorm and Wall Street Journal conferences, and has won several industry awards.
In April 2023, Solari founded SolComms, an award-winning integrated communications agency for startups and scale-ups at the intersection of corporate and consumer communications. The 40+-person agency currently partners with over 60 clients across industries, from biotech and life sciences companies like Atropos Health to telehealth clinics like knownwell. Additionally, the agency has built a strong consumer sector with a collection of DTC brands at the intersection of brand and advocacy, including eco-friendly cleaning products such as Blueland and the viral Bogg. Under his stewardship, SolComms has consistently been ranked among the most powerful public relations agencies in the world by Observer, named a top boutique firm by Business Insider, and recognized for its individual and team contributions to the industry and to clients by PRWeek, PRovoke Media, PRNews, The PR Net, and more.
Prior to founding SolComms, Solari was an Associate Vice President at Autumn Communications, where he created a Healthcare and Corporate Communications division - the agency’s first expansion outside of consumer brands. He independently ran the division, overseeing nearly 20 clients and over 30 team members at one point, without any turnover (a testament to his mentorship and leadership). The division itself was a multimillion-dollar practice for Autumn. Before joining Autumn Communications, Solari held senior roles at FACTORY PR, managing its Tech & Innovation division. In 2018, he joined SourceCode Communications as its sixth employee. At SourceCode, he was instrumental in business development, helping win the company’s largest clients, which, in turn, led to the company's growth to a 30-person operation by the time he departed in 2020. Solari started his NYC PR career at Havas Formula, earning three promotions in less than two years.
He started his career in Miami at Max Borges Agency, where he was offered a full-time Account Coordinator position while a senior in college, following a successful internship. Solari graduated from the University of Miami in 2015 with a Bachelor of Science in Public Relations and a minor in Marketing.
