Why Choose aMate?
There are any number of reasons why a company chooses a communications agency. Some clients are extremely analytical, others go by gut feel and instinct. In the end, it’s a blend of skills, personality, and sheer chemistry that will determine the success of an agency relationship. Here are just a few of the reasons why we think aMate should be your next agency.
Senior-Level Experience – At aMate, we’re veterans of the corporate wars, having held senior positions in major corporations. We understand and appreciate how business works, so we can be more effective and productive for our clients.
Extensive Contacts – We have strong and positive relationships with the business media, trade press, industry analysts, and the investment community in the U.S. and overseas. In some cases, our relationships are built on many successes over many years. In all cases, they are built on mutual trust and respect. That’s how we work. Read what some in the media have said about us.
Professional Skills – How better to say it than, “we know what we’re doing.” When we offer advice, it’s based on long experience. We’ve been there before. When we disagree with you, we’ll have the confidence to tell you why and the conviction to argue our points and help you to avoid missteps.
People Skills – Sounds trivial, right? We don’t think so. We pride ourselves on being able to work well with anyone in your organization from CEO to engineer to dealer to customer. We’re good at what we do, we enjoy it, and we’re easy to work with.
International Experience – The global village is more evident than ever and companies need to understand the markets beyond our borders. We know global business. Our founder is a Dutch national, speaks five languages, and has a network of close business and media contacts around the world. And, we have strong alliances with associate firms in Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Strategic Thinking – Often, it’s lonely at the top. We can offer a seasoned outsider’s view to help you sort through your strategic options and arrive at a decision. Then, we can shape an effective message to position your company and your products in key markets. It can be a seamless, painless, and flawless road to market success.
Communications Expertise – A good message is like poetry, and we can bring clarity to all your messages. With good communication skills and knowing the right questions to ask, even the most obtuse engineering description can emerge feature-rich and with benefits blazing. We’ll help your audience understand how your products will help them improve their business.
A Client’s Perspective – With long corporate resumes, we’ve been clients for longer than we’ve been agency people. Our mindset is client-side, and we understand the pressures, the politics, and the priorities of our clients. It’s an asset that serves us well.
Proven Results – We’ve been successful with clients and media alike and have built a growing business, even in the face of tough economic times.
Real Value for Today’s Economy – aMate is NOT one of those high-priced agencies of the dot.com boom. Those days are over… and frankly, so are many of those agencies. Today, many companies are fighting a vicious circle between building awareness and living within ever-tighter budgets. At aMate, we can live within your budget because we want to grow with you. Our approach is based on years of being agency clients ourselves. We work efficiently, price ourselves fairly, and deliver results beyond your expectations. To us, that’s value and that’s how strong accounts are built.
