SCOTT BARTHOLOMEW
President
Providing marketing communications services and strategies to a variety of companies, large and small
Public Relations – strategic publicity placements in print, broadcast and online media
Advertising – effective ad campaigns without the high agency overhead
Graphic Design – brand marks, brochures, direct mail, sales literature
E-Communications – Video content, e-mail marketing, Web design
Companies large and small, and in a variety of industries, have been turning to TGI Marketing Communications since 1995.
TGI is headed by 30-year veteran Scott Bartholomew, who is the agency’s sole practitioner, directing all of its services for our clients. He personally conducts media relations to generate positive awareness through print, broadcast and online media. He also writes all the firm’s graphic design and web design projects, as well as serves as art directors for those projects.
In addition, he serves as producer, writer and editor for the firm’s video production projects, which include radio and TV commercials, instructional DVDs, and online materials.
TGI works with a host of experienced free-lance professionals to complement our expertise as needed in delivering specific marketing communications services that make our clients stand out.
TGI Marketing Communications:
Less Worries. More Value. Real Results.
What does this mean for clients of TGI? It means they can rest easy and not worry about budget, agency performance or bottom-line results.
Our clients receive the benefits of seasoned public relations and marketing professionals found at larger agencies, but at a sharply reduced rate. Can you say, “less overhead?”
Plus, you’ll never get the old “bait and switch”… being shuffled off to a junior account executive after being wooed for your business by an agency higher-up. (If you’ve ever been through this process before, you’ll know what we mean.)
What you see is what you get at TGI.
And because of our set-up, each and every client, regardless of size of company or size of account, is important to us. Honestly, it’s just not the size of our agency that drives our quality client service. It’s our make-up.
We’re proactive. We return phone calls and e-mails promptly. We meet deadlines. We stick to budgets.
Contact us to learn how we can help you. At the very least we’ll answer for you where the “TGI” comes from. (If you’re curious.)
No question, electronic communications – email, the Internet, video – are of paramount importance in reaching consumers and even business audiences. Of course they should be in the marketing mix for just about any company.
And TGI can help you gather positive attention and attract new customers using the digital platforms available today.
Your website is, for all intents and purposes, your company. At the very least it’s your front door that provides the all-important chance to make a good first impression. TGI can design a website for you that incorporates “best practices” for SEO, is easy to navigate and user friendly, properly highlights your key strengths, and most importantly, meets your budget!
Email marketing, the strategic use of e-blasts to existing customers and targeted prospects, is a cost effective tool to get your company noticed, generate traffic to your website, and bring about your desired “call to action.” We can not only design your e-blast to reflect or rebrand your corporate personality, but deliver it to your audience as well.
Video content is a must for your Internet presence. It’s a visual world and, as they say, a (moving) picture is worth a thousand words. We can produce videos for your company – from bio portraits that humanize your management and key employees, to educational content that casually brings customers to your website, to humorous vignettes that subtly market your key brand messages to your audience.
Contact TGI today to explore how electronic messaging can become a key component of your marketing success.
TGI Marketing Communications produces a wide range of marketing pieces for our clients that are designed to achieve any number of goals. Specifically, they reflect our client’s existing corporate personality or grab attention to establish a new one. They’re tailored in look and message for clients’ target audiences. And there are never any budget surprises.
Logos. E-Newsletters. Brochures. E-mail Blasts. And More.
If you’re looking to establish or re-establish your brand, our brandmark (logo) design services is a good way to start. (Especially when combined with TGI’s ability to reach the news media on your behalf.)
We can create for you print newsletters, e-newsletters and e-mail blasts that regularly communicate key messages to your customers to keep you top of mind. And just as important, that turn prospects into new customers.
Corporate brochures that say who you really are, sales collateral that bring about that desired call-to-action, and clutter-cutting direct mail pieces are additional examples of the graphic design expertise TGI can bring to your company. Make your small company look big, make your big company look more personal. All through effective graphic design.
Printing, Mailing, E-Delivery.
You Won’t Have To Lift a Finger
Even better, TGI Marketing Communications can make graphic design production a total turn-key operation for you. We’ll coordinate the printing and mailing of printing pieces, and the on-time delivery of e-mail communications so you won’t have to.
Whatever your graphic design needs, contact TGI Marketing Communications. From a “test-the-waters” one-time project to a complete redesign of your corporate identity, we’ll get the job done.
You wouldn’t be visiting this page if you didn’t already understand the value of positive media reports on your company. When the media say good things about you, the resulting “implied third-party endorsement” is a powerful tool in attracting customers and clients, and growing your business.
Such publicity placements just don’t happen, however. Especially on a continuing basis. It takes effort and know-how.
You want positive media placements but you can’t do it yourself. You don’t have the time, manpower or expertise.
TGI Marketing Communications gets our clients covered by the media. We’ve been doing this for a long time. We know the media, we know how they work, and we know how to craft your story to get positive attention and that so-valuable “third-party endorsement.” Media stories that make your phones ring and make your website traffic jump.
We’ve represented small, mid-size and very large companies in directing publicity placement and media relations campaigns on their behalf. We work with local, regional, national and trade media. Print, broadcast, and, of course, web-based outlets are all in the mix.
We can also provide your company ongoing, strategic public relations counsel so that you can quickly and effectively confront any changing landscape, diffuse crisis situations, or subtly reach new markets with key messaging. Such efforts aren’t necessarily limited to media placements. They can include special event creation and management, internal employee communications, key-influencer recruitment, and much more.
Contact TGI Marketing Communications to see if we’re the answer to your needs. Promise, it won’t hurt a bit.
We’ll make this brief. If you want ads that work and that don’t cost a bundle but look or sound as though they do, then give TGI a call. Or email. Or Facebook us.
From black and white newspaper ads to slick four-color magazine pieces to direct mail pieces to radio and TV commercials, TGI delivers strategic ad messages and memorable impressions that make our clients stand out from the competition.
And to repeat, we don’t break the bank to do so.
Working with a stable of free-lance professionals in graphic design, AV production and web design, we provide clients experienced, proven talent at a reasonable cost.
We share our clients’ objectives for their advertising efforts: Advertising campaigns and presentations that they’re comfortable with, that reflect their competitive advantages, and that get results. Plus on time and on budget. Always.
Want to build your website traffic through cost-effective advertising? Want to get customers and clients calling after seeing or hearing your ads? Then contact TGI and let’s get started.
