SIDE Ink

SIDE Ink is a public relations and communications agency headquartered in Germantown, Tennessee, United States. Founded in 2013 by Clint Cantwell—a veteran with over 20 years of experience crafting multi-faceted PR and marketing campaigns—the agency focuses on helping brands cut through the digital noise. In an era where consumers have instant access to news, opinions, and information, SIDE Ink positions itself as a strategic partner for companies that need to create meaningful, memorable engagement with their core audiences.

Specialist Expertise in Consumer-Focused Branding and Digital Marketing

SIDE Ink’s core strength lies in its ability to blend traditional public relations tactics with modern digital marketing strategies, particularly for brands operating in consumer internet, information technology, and services sectors. The agency’s founder, Clint Cantwell, brings deep experience from working across numerous industries, giving the team a versatile toolkit for building brand narratives that resonate. Rather than simply issuing press releases, SIDE Ink focuses on developing key messaging that truly connects with customer bases, then executing sustained media exposure to reinforce a company’s market position. This approach is especially relevant for businesses in competitive, fast-moving industries where consumer attention is fleeting.

How SIDE Ink Applies Its Approach

The agency’s methodology is built around the idea of “thinking big” to generate the exposure a brand deserves. This manifests in several practical ways: creating noteworthy announcements that capture media interest, promoting seasonal trends and analysis to stay relevant, developing ongoing breaking news commentary to position clients as thought leaders, and executing high-impact events and promotional initiatives. SIDE Ink’s work ethic is described as “go big or go home”—a philosophy that drives the team to exceed campaign goals rather than simply meet them. For companies in Germantown and beyond, this means a partner that is comfortable with ambitious, creative campaigns designed to rise above the clutter of digital media.
