BOSTON, November 1, 2006 - Emerge Public
Relations, a growing firm serving high-technology, financial,
consumer and business services firms, today announced it has
exceeded its growth projections in its first full year of business.
Launched on November 1, 2005, Emerge PR has increased its monthly
run rate by 63 percent since its inception, securing 15 new
clients while adding strategic senior staff.
“The progress we have made as we mark our first anniversary has surpassed
all of our expectations. A year ago, we were hopeful we would hit the $1 million
mark in our first full year of business, and we have already exceeded that.
We have built our business on relationships, and we are grateful to our clients
for placing their confidence in us,” said Mara Stefan, principal, Emerge
PR.
“As the holiday season approaches, we have much to be
thankful for. We have been fortunate to attract a stellar professional
team, enabling us to guarantee senior-level attention for all
our clients. We thank our whole team for sharing our vision
and helping us build an exciting new agency,” said Catherine
Marenghi, principal, Emerge PR.
On its first day of business
a year ago, Emerge PR was already an established PR firm. By
bringing together the staff and clients of Marenghi PR, an
award-winning firm founded by Catherine Marenghi in 1992, and
Dark Horse Consulting, a communications consultancy formed
by Mara Stefan after leading the Horn Group’s Boston
office for nine years, Emerge PR launched with a strong team
and an impressive client portfolio, with 10 charter clients.
Since then, Emerge PR has added eight retainer
clients including Cartesis, DestinationWeddings.com, Harte-Hanks
(including its Trillium Software division), Harvard Business
School Publishing, Information Builders, The Otto Club, Webgen,
and Whitebirch Software, along with a variety of projects
including AccountAbility Outsourcing, MEMS Industry Group,
Optasite, and Syrinx Consulting. In addition, the agency
is serving the Wellness Community of Greater Boston on a
pro bono basis.
In addition, Emerge PR has built its professional team
to a total of 13 staff, including several strategic team
leaders with an average of 10 years of PR experience. New
additions since the firm’s founding include Stephanie Fallon, account
director; Samantha Smith, account director; Liza Colburn, senior
account manager; Matthew McCarthy, account executive; and Sheila
Bohan, account coordinator.
