We're different
We'll never wine and dine you to get your business nor never ever generate paper just to run up the bill.
We are NOT that agency. We're led by public relations veterans with decades of experience on both sides of the media.
We work with experts in every communication discipline, but if you don't need it, you won't pay for it.
So here's what we will do.
We will design targeted strategies to get your message out and identify stories that trade and consumer journalists want to tell.
But enough about us, let's talk about you.
What We Do
What We Do
We represent a very different choice in a crowded marketplace. We are senior level thinkers who want to be in the trenches building and executing dynamic strategies to get your word out. From the moment you engage us, you'll have our cell phone numbers, emails, and invitation to contact us day or night.
With the presence of social media, viral videos and must visit web sites along with the offerings of traditional media, its clear that the public relations landscape is continually evolving with one reality: there are more venues than ever to tell your story. Navigating that world, however, requires a focused team of thinkers delivering the right message to the right audience, at a precise time, for the highest impact.
We're competitive and even after many years in the industry, we still get excited about winning. We have a great track record of local and national success including placements on Good Morning American, and CNN, as well as in USA Today, Bloomberg News and Businessweek.
At our core, we are strategist and storytellers. We are committed to your success and will work in lock step with you from concept through completion of a project. Simply put, we are ready to go to work for you.
