• We are proficient: our capabilities cover the marketing communications gamut, including strategic planning, branding, writing, editing, social media, media relations, crisis communications, internal communications, website development, graphic design and event planning.  We have local, regional, state, national and even international experience.
• We are flexible: we can act as an independent, or we can act as a virtual agency, bringing in other core competencies as needed.
• We are chameleons: we can manage projects of any size, from a one-off to being totally immersed in your business. We work by the hour, by project, by retainer or contract, depending on your needs. We can work virtually or we can come into your office.
• We are here to stay: while some of us are new to the IP world, most of us have been doing this for ten or more years. We are small business owners who love helping companies of all sizes succeed.
