How we present ourselves to our internal and external <br />stakeholders and the public is of critical importance as we work to provide <br />support and promote opportunities for people on the autism spectrum and <br />their families. <br />Faced with the challenge of limited resources for media relations and <br />marketing, our organization made the strategic decision to seek out a fum <br />that we could partner with to expand our public awareness efforts and <br />branding. The critical characteristics we looked for were professionalism, <br />integrity, intelligence, and a proven track record. As we evaluated potential <br />partners, the obvious choice was Ballen Media. <br />Over the past year we have enjoyed a successful partnership and have <br />developed a variety of media tools that will help expand awareness of autism <br />spectrum disorder as well as the services our agency provides. The Ballen <br />Media team has proven to be creative, energetic, and reliable. No matter <br />what the question or need, no matter when a response is required, they have <br />answered the call. Their dedication to client service stands out in the field. <br />We value our relationship with Ballen Media and look forward to continuing <br />our partnership in the future. I would highly recommend their staff and <br />services to any organization. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~a~ <br />David Laxton <br />Director of Communications <br />
