Services
Publicity
Media Relations, Inc. arranges publicity for our clients’ products and we charge per story that runs. Our clients use publicity because consumers have become resistant to advertising and because media stories deliver a more complete and believable message than ads. For over twenty years our publicists have been on the phone calling reporters and producers, convincing them to do stories about our clients’ products. The results: tens of thousands of stories have been printed or aired featuring our clients’ products. Imagine how your sales would increase if we were consistently arranging news coverage for you.
Web
Checkerboard Strategic Web Development, Inc. builds websites. Being part of a marketing company gives us a unique edge over our competition. Not only do we understand how to build a site technically, we also understand how to make your site sell. Our clients see us as a trusted partner for strategy, design, online marketing, and content development and management. Our goal is to make each element of your Internet presence work to support your brand and increase sales.
Events & Expos
Mid-America Events & Expos, Inc. helps our clients with all types of events. We can plan and manage every detail of an event from scratch or we can play a supporting role. We also create and own several consumer expos such as the Seniors Expo™ and Body Mind Life Expo™.
