Public Relations
The Indoor Tanning Association is excited to announce that it has recently contracted with Berman and Company, a leading DC-based PR firm, to develop an aggressive media relations and public relations campaign for the indoor tanning industry.
Berman and Company has enjoyed great success in stimulating debate through aggressive communications and creative advertising for their clients. They have been recognized with numerous awards for their edgy and hard-hitting media campaigns. Their intrepid approach to research, media, advertising and public affairs will be an integral element in our fight to set the story straight for our industry. Berman and Company will not only change the debate, they will help us to initiate the debate.
Please visit their website to learn more about them and be sure to check out their Advertising section for examples of some of the work they have produced for other clients.
While the program is still being developed, it is set to launch in 2008 and is guaranteed to produce tremendous results. For more information about the campaign, please contact us at (888) 377-0477.
The innovative and audacious strategy that Berman and Company has created for us will come at a high price, but will enable the indoor tanning industry to make invaluable strides forward. Please support our efforts and the industry by making a donation to help fund this campaign. We have received donations ranging from $25.00 to $25,000.00. Any amount is acceptable and donations of any size are all appreciated.
