Making a mark

Just as everyone here at The Aker Partners are making our debut in the blogosphere, our clients are making their own mark, too.

J.D. Byrider, the nation’s largest and oldest used car franchise, made their entrance on the blog AskPatty.com, one of the webs top spaces for women seeking out information about vehicle purchases. Byrider’s own Beth Melamed, owner of two franchises in Pennsylvania, was interviewed. Check out what Beth has to say about being a woman in a male dominated field.

The Power of Communications

Dear Friend:

When I was at the most recent meeting of our Public Relations Global Network®, I asked my colleagues how many of them had a blog. Surprisingly, among a group of leading independent firms from around the world, I found that we were the only agency with a blog. Why have one?

Our Web site certainly explains our firm. But that’s one-way communication. We seek a discourse, which is the essence of truly effective communications. We want to hear your thoughts and ideas. And we’ll tell you what we believe. This will be another way we can learn about new ideas and other creative thinking.

To us, that’s the power of communications, and this blog makes it possible. In the end, we believe it will improve our abilities to serve our clients. So please take the time to inform us, and we will respond.
