We're always on the lookout for companies that share our commitment to using technology to provide exceptional value to public relations, media and communications professionals. To make our Friends list, these companies must have a really innovative product, a manic commitment to customer service, a highly cost-effective proposition, and they must be able to make your life a whole lot easier. These are companies that we have personally worked with, and have had dozens of clients work with. (As you can imagine, it's not a very long list!)
