Bluetext, LLC, A New Full-Service Communications and Digital Marketing Agency, Launches in Washington

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Four of the Washington region's most experienced communications professionals today launched Bluetext, LLC, a full-service, integrated communications firm dedicated to helping companies and organizations navigate the competitive landscape and more effectively reach customers, partners, consumers, policy makers and other key audiences. Combining traditional media expertise with deep digital and social marketing experience, Bluetext leverages every marketing channel to address any challenge.

"Organizations today face the daunting task of reaching their target audiences in the face of a multitude of choices-- traditional media, advertising, websites, blogs, targeted and viral marketing, and a dizzying number of social networking sites," said Don Goldberg, one of Bluetext's founding principals. "Bluetext designs an integrated program to deliver the best messages through the right channels to penetrate the noise and resonate with those audiences."

"Consistently telling a company's story across all channels is essential in today's media environment," said Founding Principal Michael Quint. "Bluetext can help craft that story and use every marketing channel to reach customers, decision-makers and other key audiences with a powerful story."

Bluetext's leadership team includes more than 75 years experience at the highest levels in a wide variety of communications professions, ranging from journalism, Capitol Hill, the White House, corporation, public relations, broadcast and sports. The leadership team was an integral part of Qorvis Communications' senior management, including three partners and the head of sales, and contributed substantially to the growth of that firm.

Members of Bluetext's web design team have won virtually every significant award in the creative services industry. Its public relations professionals have worked with some of the biggest companies in the country. Its crisis communications experts have helped manage some of the most significant challenges of the past two decades.

"Understanding how to leverage the Internet, search marketing, mobile apps and the range of web-based technologies to attract and engage customers requires the most creative professionals in the business," said Founding Principal Jason Siegel. "Bluetext's team brings that edge to its clients."

"The opportunities for an integrated full-service communications firm that understands how to effectively blend traditional and digital communications with marketing outreach are endless," said Founding Principal Rick Silipigni. "Our clients in Washington, around the country, and internationally will see significant benefits from our broad range of experience and track record of success."
