| INDUSTRY & TRADE ASSOCIATIONS | |||
Business associations dedicate a major share of their energies to sustaining and expanding their membership base by delivering member-focused services and programs. At the same, however, these organizations are professionally obligated to elevate the public image of their particular industry as a whole. They need to find ways to speak to the public at large with the "voice" of their business sector or industry, even while they devote internal attention to their members' needs. The Marino Organization helps these associations "find their voice." We work in partnership with trade organizations to develop and implement effective, strategic communications programs. TMO pinpoints target audiences, and we train leaders to develop and deliver the right messages. We provide sophisticated support in the writing and publishing of first-rate newsletters and reports. In addition, leveraging the power of research-driven public relations techniques, TMO knows how to collect, analyze and present statistics and data that substantiate organizational messages and build the organization’s reputation and media profile. Our "street-smart" communications strategies ensure that association leaders forcefully represent their industry's interests before media audiences, policymakers and the broad business marketplace. We also help leaders communicate more effectively to internal audiences. As a result, business and trade associations gain greater power and influence, winning increased support from members and constituents. |
