Goldstein Group Aguments Technology Marketing Team

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

The technology advertising and public relations agency of Goldstein Group Communications, Inc. has augmented its technology marketing team with the addition of Jeff Spencer as Creative Director.

With nearly two decades of experience, Spencer is responsible for the creative vision and execution at Goldstein Group Communications. Blending strategy and insight with a heavy dose of creative mojo, he generates memorable, on-target ideas that help clients build their brands.

Spencer has spent the majority of his career producing award-winning consumer campaigns specializing in the Home and Automotive categories. Prior to joining Goldstein Group Communications he was Senior Art Director with Arras Group. There he worked with a wide range of clients including ICI Paints, Simmons Mattress Company, Moen, Sealy, and Yokohama Tires to produce print collateral, corporate identity, product launch materials, and electronic media campaigns.

 

“Our firm is continuing to grow,” said agency President Joel K. Goldstein. “We have diversified the industries represented by our clients, successfully competed for new business, and expanded relationships with several of our existing clients, and are now well positioned to continue providing consistently high levels of client service.”

 
Goldstein Group Communications, a technology b-to-b agency, brings an unusual combination of corporate communications management and engineer-level writing capability to its national client roster.  With deep experience in electronics and industrial markets, the agency is able to draw on its skills to articulate with impact and clarity the technical advantages its clients bring to their customers.  Unlike other agencies, staff members for the most part have built their careers on the corporate side of the desk, rather than as agency executives, a perspective that results in a higher level of accountability and measurability in te agency’s programs.

I recently attended a national conference for the PR trade group PRSA. The industry is consumed by social media, with PR professionals quickly moving to adapt these new tools in ways that improve lead generation, customer retention and brand awareness. But here’s the best comment made at the conference: Edelman PR CEO Matt Harrington spoke about industry changes, including how valuable new graduates were to the profession. But while they had much to contribute in creativity and online savvy, the culture of this latest generation left him a little cold in one respect: “On more than one occasion, after one of our young staff members received their review, we’ve received a phone call from their parents!” The conference gasped at that one.
