Is a creative resource right for you?
Marketing communications staffs have been decimated over the past few years. Now many organizations are pushing on their marcomm directors to produce unprecedented amounts of work, without the support they used to have.

How can I be sure to get the results I want?
There are big advantages to working directly with those who are coming up with or designing your next big idea. Gerry Hanlon works directly with clients, making sure that their marketing communications piece(s) communicate clearly and effectively to audiences that have ranged from pre-teens to seniors, from the heads of companies to the citizens of an entire state. Hanlon Marketing Partners help you get across the points you need to make. We'll contribute points you didn’t know you needed to make. And we’ll address all of your concerns from the very beginning, to make sure your work is on target at every stage of its development.
Our uniquely focused approach is designed to make sure we present your company’s best case from your customer’s point of view.
What about direct contact with those creating my work?
Working with HanlonMarketingPartners.com offers a single point of contact for ease of communication, you can also speak directly with other team members at any point in the process. Just as there should be no barriers between the final piece and the audience it’s trying to reach, we make sure there are no barriers between you and the people who are working for you.
Why HanlonMarketingPartners.com?
Gerry Hanlon’s creative teams have been creating award winning advertising, brochures and comprehensive marketing communications programs for over two decades, for a wide variety of business-to-business and business-to-consumer clients. In an industry where “you’re only as good as your next idea,” we’ve managed to not only come up with those ideas, but to follow through on their development and production for some of America’s most successful organizations. That’s a track record worth exploring when you can’t waste time on anything less than the most dedicated and talented individual or team for your project.
Why not HanlonMarketingPartners.com?
If maintaining brand consistency is not an issue for your organization, or if just “good enough” is good enough because of extreme limitations on your budget – both valid approaches, by the way – then less experienced alternatives can accomplish your goal effectively and efficiently, as long as you’re personally prepared to spend a bit of extra time managing expectations and the project itself.
How much does it cost?
For everything from on-site content development to script-to-screen video production, our fees are competitive with those you’d expect to pay for experienced marketing communications professionals. What’s more, every project is estimated ahead of time, and we stick to that estimate. Of course, as the project develops, unforeseen circumstances and needs can affect the final charge. But additional work is undertaken only with your approval.
How quickly can you create that?
In most cases, as quickly as you need it. We’ve found that attaching a firm timeline to every project – and delivering each element promptly as promised – is the surest path to satisfaction and success for the work and for you as a client. While it’s in no one’s interest to rush through the development of any communications piece, we’ll work with you to get you the highest quality communications piece possible, in time for when you need it.
How creative will it be?
We’ve won dozens of marketing communications awards for our work and clients, including a national Silver Anvil award in 2009 from the Public Relations Society of America. We bring that approach and attention to every last detail to every project.
Who’ll be my point of contact?
Gerry Hanlon will be your primary point of contact at the beginning stages of each major initiative, and he will be continuously involved throughout the process. He brings a painstaking level of attention to detail to each creative team, to make sure you get everything you were expecting. And then some.
