What is AMM Communications known for?

AMM Communications is known for results for their customers through the quality of our work. We build long-term partnerships with customers.
We provide strategic communications and marketing, and then share with our customers how to implement the PESO Model for business development, content marketing, crisis communications, executive training, internal communications, marketing, media relations, reputation management, and social media.

Public Relations Focus

We help not-for-profits and associations increase their number of members by increasing the top-of-mind awareness (TOMA) of their mission and reach. As an example, we have worked with Washington University to increase their social media interaction with Fudan University.
A key tactic we use for our customers is developing and implementing a customized digital public relations campaign that will:

  • Attract the attention of your target audience
  • Boost credibility, allowing current and potential customers, students, clients, members, or volunteers to know, like, and trust you and your company
  • Make your institution stand out because it is a marketing tactics that few businesses and not-for-profits use
  • Deliver web traffic for months and years to come because online press releases are permanently indexed by search engine

So, TOMA = More website traffic = More potential customers/donors/or members!

Then, there is Media Relations. Do you ever wonder how products, services, or charity events appear on TV, radio, or online news outlets? It is because a marketing company like AMM Communications has pitched a story idea to the reporter.
This is called Earned Media and is included in all levels of our Drive Your Donors Today products. Earned media is difficult to obtain but we are excellent at it because we work daily to maintain strong personal relationships with reporters. We will find a way to get your story published!
