Summit Multimedia opens
Edward J. Martin and Leigh Anne Sperry have joined efforts to establish Summit Multimedia as the region’s complete communications company.
“For years, community leaders who do not employ marketing specialists have approached us asking for guidance on how to develop and implement specific marketing and promotional initiatives,” Martin said.
“So the timing was right for us to establish a company that is designed to lend affordable assistance to all types of businesses operators who are looking for professional media expertise.”
Summit Multimedia is partnering with several regional businesses to provide a full-line of media services. Among these are ad design and placement, brochure production and distribution, DVD/CD duplication, grant writing, market analysis, marketing plan/outreach development, media brokering and video production.
“I hope that community leaders realize that our strength is our ability to network,” Sperry said.
“We identify an organization’s outreach or internal needs and draw from our resources to fulfill those needs. This process can be extremely time consuming, which is why organizations can use Summit Multimedia as a valuable advertising/marketing tool.”
