The Architects of the Archway ROI™ System

Since 2008, AMM Communications has been the premier St. Louis PR firm dedicated to bridging the gap between visibility and revenue. Founders Ed and Ann Marie Mayuga built the Archway ROI™ system to give mid-market businesses, nonprofits, CMOs, and solo entrepreneurs a predictable, high-velocity path to growth — rooted in deep St. Louis community knowledge and a national media network.

Our Story

We saw a flaw in traditional PR. So we fixed it.

AMM Communications was founded in 2008 by Ann Marie and Ed Mayuga because they saw a fundamental flaw in the traditional PR model: firms were reporting on "impressions" while business owners were looking for "income."

St. Louis businesses needed more than a story — they needed a system. This insight led to the creation of the Archway ROI™ framework: a methodology that uses the PESO Model™ — created by Gini Dietrich of Spin Sucks — to turn media relations into a measurable sales engine.

Today, AMM Communications is a certified WBE, DBE, and WBENC woman-owned firm, recognized as one of the "Best PR Firms in St. Louis" for 15 consecutive years by Small Business Monthly.

Headquartered in Town & Country, Missouri, we provide hyperlocal St. Louis market dominance and national media reach for clients across the United States in any city.
