Social media expertise a key factor in selecting Greenough

Boston, MA, September 24, 2007 – Greenough Communications, a leading independent public relations firm headquartered in Boston, today announced it has been named the agency of record for Compete, Inc., a web analytics company that helps top brands improve their marketing with the online behavior of millions of consumers. Compete joins a growing list of Greenough clients in the marketing services space.

“Through Compete.com and our widely-read blog, we’ve built a solid reputation among social media influencers and we want an agency partner that understands this evolving space and how it intersects with traditional PR,” said Stephen DiMarco, chief marketing officer at Compete. “Unlike other agencies that offer separate interactive practices or up-sell social media programs, Greenough integrates social media and digital PR into everything it does.”

“As more consumers and businesses have embraced social media, our agency has had an opportunity to take clients aggressively into this evolving landscape,” said Phil Greenough, founder and president of Greenough Communications. “Compete is an especially-exciting client win for us because the company has already established its own solid beachhead in social media, and we’ll benefit from being part of their evolving story in addition to helping them tell it.”
