Approach

Everybody knows there are few substitutes for that third-party, independent endorsement companies can get from the press. It's true --- unbiased acclaim goes right to the bottom line. But what's the best way to achieve and sustain this success? Public Relations.

Next Question.

Should and can you do it yourself, or do you need outside help?

Some companies understand the value of good PR, and are very good at it. They know that keeping channels open with the Fourth Estate, through both good times and bad, is an essential element of good business practice. These companies typically also have a high public profile. They also often have well-known leaders.

Then there are other enterprises that would like to attain greater visibility, but aren't quite sure how to go about it. Often, they look to outside assistance for PR counsel. This holds true even when they have in-house communications experts. Sometimes there's just too much to do, or they need special expertise.

Some often look to a large public relations firm. Today, these firms are often affiliated with or owned by giant advertising agencies. These firms' guiding philosophy is to be all things to all people.

There is a better choice on Third Avenue:

TMC Communications, LLC - a strong niche player, not a "PR supermarket." We focus solely on financial, corporate and international public relations.

TMC combines traditional public relations and investor relations strategies with more innovative approaches, delivering state-of-the art service.

We create winning public relations and marketing communications programs designed to foster and sustain positive publicity in today's crowded marketplace.

We launch and sustain programs that foster "thought leadership," defining your point of view on breaking news as well as on broader trends and cutting-edge issues.

The ultimate objective of our work is to create relationships that work for you, with the right media. Relationships that last.

TMC's approach is based upon three key concepts: first, an exhaustive knowledge of the media, whether print, broadcast, online, US or foreign.

Secondly, TMC focuses on businesses and industries in which it has extensive and hands-on knowledge and experience. In fact, we become an integral part of our clients. Intensive research into your company, your competitors and your key markets underpins every program, however big or small.

We keep a close eye on the financial, macroeconomic, and political dimensions, and their impact on how the press reacts.

As specialists on western Europe and Japan, we conduct multilingual PR programs for clients in the major global financial centers.

Finally, with TMC you get proactive and creative thinking,whether it's for a project or on a retainer basis.

TMC brings brains to the table, if that's what you need. Or if brawn is what's in order, no problem.

The difference is that you get just what you require, just when you need it. Plus you get fresh thinking and new ideas on a real-time basis.

The counsel and hands-on implementation you receive are tailored to meet all of your expectations of what a PR firm should deliver. And surpass them.

If you hire a big shop, the agency's principals will come in and pitch you the business, and then vanish. Then again, they may not. But their presence will reverberate in those bills you'll get.

Given the alternatives, please contact TMC by phone, snail mail, fax or the Net. We'd like to help.
