business news in context, analysis with attitude

“We have brought on at least three new clients because of our MorningNewsBeat Drumbeat- and it resulted in not just a “one time sale” but two of these companies are now repeat customers. In addition, we have had several calls with people interested in making career changes that we have been able to assist and/or network with for future business. Most importantly, sponsoring MorningNewsBeat has given us a lot of visibility in the industry and has done a lot in terms of “brand name” recognition. When we call potential first time clients, we now hear “Yes, I have heard of Samuel J. Associates” at least 50% more than before we started sponsoring MNB.

We are not a large company with a marketing staff and putting together the drumbeat and tile ad was almost effortless due to the input and creativity provided by Kevin and his staff. The return has been fantastic!
-Jean Forney, Samuel J. Associates

“I am a regular reader and really like the short, to the point summary of industry news. I always get a "kick" out of your comments, as they are not filtered and a little on the edge. Not always flattering, as we have taken our fair share of criticism, but candid and full of common sense. You tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear. Keep up the good work, we like our dose with our morning Java!” -Eric Claus, President and CEO, The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company
