Andover, Mass. – April 13, 2010 – PAN Communications, a mid-sized public relations firm focusing on technology, consumer and professional services, today announced strong first quarter results with client wins and organic growth across all three portfolios.
The firm’s internal client growth is due in part to the growing demand for social media services, such as digital branding platforms (the latest example being the creation of Novell’s portal); in addition, client Schakra grew its program by adding the corporate entity to PAN’s work for its consumer product (GoGoStat.com). The firm has also experienced program budget increases, and has welcomed back “boomerang” clients after experiencing a trying economic period.
“We experienced a solid first quarter of business and continue to witness some positive signs across the agency as companies look to reinvigorate their brands with blended communication programs,” said Mark C. Nardone, executive vice president of PAN Communications. “Aside from a growing number of new clients, we are thrilled by the organic growth and continue to focus on what matters most – creativity, understanding our client’s customers and effectively communicating that value to the key decision makers driving their business – across all media. This focus has paid off and resulted in qualified lead generation and revenue growth opportunities for our clients in several targeted markets.”
PAN will provide strategic guidance and public relations support for these new clients, including media relations, social media, messaging, thought leadership, awards and rankings, industry analyst relationships, speaking engagements and measurement.
The firm’s client wins encompass all three of its portfolios and include:
PAN also made enhancements to its website, including a “live chat” feature, where prospects can interact with agency executives in real time. PAN is one of the first firms to add this communication medium to its website.
