WHY ANDOVER COMMUNICATIONS?

We believe there are a number of reasons why Andover Communications stands apart from the other PR/marketing agencies in the New York metropolitan area. Here are a few:
  • We are a small firm that thinks like a big firm.
  • Our media relations specialists dedicate most of their day to talking with television and radio producers and newspaper and magazine editors and reporters. This helps in maintaining strong and positive media exposure for our clients.
  • We develop programs that are designed to maximize and benefit client objectives. In addition to being creative and distinctive, our plans are realistic, ensuring the most effective message and significant results. Execution, in our minds, is the key to any campaign.
  • In addition to targeted publicity, we can offer integrated marketing campaigns featuring a communications mix of public relations and advertising, direct mail, sales promotion, etc., depending on client needs.
  • We keep up with industry trends and technology and have the most up to date resources available on current media personnel and various writers' projects nationally and locally. 
  • Andover Communications is a hands-on firm that never passes on day-to-day account responsibilities to freelancers.
  • Senior management works on all details of a client's campaign, regardless of the account's size.
  • We offer our clients very competitive prices - bigger does not necessarily mean better. A number of our clients retained us after unsatisfactory experiences with large, prominent PR firms. We believe that no other firm offers as much value for its service.
