"As Marketing and Public Relations representative for a large orthopedic group, I am responsible for developing a comprehensive and ever-changing marketing strategy. When our practice merged with another group, it resulted in the addition of five new doctors and four new offices throughout northeast Georgia. I went straight to Amy at Fulcrum Strategies for guidance on how to market these new physicians and locations. Amy listened to me, and along with graphic designer Johannah, they addressed all of my concerns and questions. They helped me to develop a plan that involved advertisements, multiple mailers, informational fliers, face-to-face interactions, and even an open house luncheon. Fulcrum Strategies is the cornerstone I rely on in a field where most things change on a daily basis. Whether a large or small project, I am confident in Fulcrum Strategies' consistent, high-quality work.”
