WHY PR & Communication?
Because we are more than just ‘communication’ experts : we have helped the businesses to stand-up
Because we work day-in, day-out with some ‘really different’ ideas, which need a totally unconventional market & communication approach…and we have delivered on those
Because we felt the need that corporates NOW need someone beyond just a PR or Ad Agency to communicate effectively, reach their markets in more focused manner and need results that show traction.
