FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 12,
2007
Stacy Jones joins Shoestring Creative Group,
brings
resources & services to nonprofit organizations in Albany area
Albany, NY
- Stacy Jones, a local public relations, marketing and grants consultant has
been accepted as an affiliate consultant for Shoestring Creative
Group, a
national marketing communications firm that provides discounted services to
nonprofit organizations. The firm is currently growing a national network of
like-minded public relations and marketing consultants that will work together
and serve good causes in cities across the country.
Jones will represent Shoestring Creative Group locally,
and bring the firm's services and resources to local nonprofit and government
organizations - resources which include best practices in nonprofit marketing
and a full-service, award-winning creative services department. Jones has more
than 10 years experience in the nonprofit sector effectively blending
non-profit leadership, strategic planning to enhance growth and development and
public relations. Jones has successfully developed strong media and community
relations campaigns for both small start-up organizations and larger more
developed programs. She presents a clear message about the organization's
mission, goals and impact on the communities they serve.
Nonprofit groups and state agencies in the Albany,
NY, Region will now have the chance to tap
into that philosophy as well as a nation-wide network of nonprofit marketing
and public relations experts. Jones - who will be a local Shoestring Creative
Group affiliate - will serve as a project director and nonprofit marketing
consultant.
"I'm excited by this partnership because I truly believe
strong public relations is essential for the growth and sustainability of nonprofits
and Shoestring Creative Group understands the unique challenges particularly in
funding faced by these groups," says Jones. "Far too often, nonprofits leave
financial and volunteer resources untapped because marketing and public
relations are not a priority for the organizations and they are not adequately
and successfully reaching their community."
"Shoestring's
approach is that marketing isn't an afterthought, it's at the center of
everything you do. We believe that before you do anything else, you identify
your audience, and you craft strong, clear, and consistent messages that will
call them to action. By teaming up with Shoestring Creative Group, I'm bringing
a nationwide group of experts to the table to help our clients do that."
