Nuuko Rolls Out All-Star Team of Communications Strategists

WASHINGTON June 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Executives can now tap an all-star team of highly experienced communications professionals when they want to gain a better understanding and reconsider their enterprise's communications strategy and tactics.  The experts have been assembled by Nuuko, a unique new platform that allows organizations to retain "experts on demand."

"We have seen a wholesale transformation to globalized ubiquitous communications and we believe that the impact of that change is becoming more significant at the same time that the pace of change is accelerating. This means that enterprises of all types and all sizes need better intelligence, and they need it at the C-Suite level in real-time," said Nuuko co-founder and Chairman Doug Poretz.  "Today's enterprises cannot operate successfully using old business models. Our experts, who can work individually or as a collegial team, have experience at the highest executive levels and can address issues and opportunities in a very straightforward and efficient manner, providing clients highly practical recommendations faster and at less cost than the traditional consulting model."
