To realize better growth and to position the company for a successful IPO, we hired Hughes Communications to establish a stronger market position for TASKING. The results were impressive. In the first nine months, Janice produced as many as 20 press releases, winning the company over 90 press mentions—a 90% increase in releases and 120% improvement in press coverage. The increased market visibility contributed significantly to TASKING’s receipt of an unsolicited buyer’s interest culminating in the sale of the Company.

Janice’s greatest points of differentiation include personal contacts in the industry, technical knowledge of the products and hot topics, including emerging technologies…an understanding of my business and my needs, so that I can give her high-level direction and let her run with minimal direction; a dogged determination to produce a quality product, on time and within budget.

Anyone who needs to take their marketing and publication relations efforts up several notches can benefit from working with Hughes Communications.
