When we selected teamworks it was because we saw a team that was exceptionally organized and familiar with everything we needed done. They began with the support of understanding the community and being sensitive to what we needed and they needed. They were creative and cooperative as we worked out how to bring our brand into this community and all of Arizona! Throughout the many months of preparation their due diligence to the timeline, flexibility when things changed and their commitment surpassed all expectations. During the incredible outcome of opening day and beyond, they continued to offer support, reaching out to touch base and be sure we were successful. I can’t imagine any other group would have done as much as they did, becoming true partners in our success.
Any company who is looking for a partner for PR, events and marketing support should call them!
Hiring teamworks was one of the best decisions we have ever made. The great media and communications services they provide has ensured that our story of what we do at the food bank is handled with professionalism and expertise. What really sets teamworks apart is the wonderful, friendly staff – always ready to go the extra mile, and making sure that we are treated as more than just clients!
teamworks brings a wealth of experience to an organization, delivering high-quality work with results that exceed expectations. They successfully handled numerous initiatives when I was with Blockbuster, always taking time to understand our brand message and the goals we wanted to accomplish. Always professional, teamworks is a great agency that I would highly recommend.
teamworks communication was an excellent resource when we launched a new meal packing site in Arizona. Since the launch, Barb’s expertise and passion have continued to increase Feed My Starving Children’s share of voice both in the Arizona market and nationally. I can trust her to read the local media, know the ways in with relevant stories, and build community awareness and loyalty through savvy PR and marketing communications work.
After years of trying to build and implement a communication plan internally we sought help from some professionals who understand our mission, partners and audience. teamworks has helped us communicate clearer and in broader ways. We have only had positive feedback from their involvement.
In the last six months, teamworks communication management has developed a 50th anniversary marketing plan for our organization, managed a website transformation, and developed a sustaining membership fundraising program. The results of all are exemplary. Even better is the immediate responsiveness – and the complete confidence the work will be done on time, within the budget, and with a level of ownership that is rare in the contractual work world. All of us at TCAA are thrilled having teamworks as our partner!
As I stop and think about this past year I wanted to take a moment and thank teamworks. Because of you being an instigator and partner in this ministry we have moved light years ahead with messaging and public presence.You are both witnesses to how work and passion intertwine to make an impact in communication and living out the mission of God’s love for the world.
We needed a way to implement effective media relations strategies in small and large markets across the country for the 2010 Macy’s Believe Campaign benefitting the Make-A-Wish® America. We found a turnkey solution with teamworks – they managed 15 PR Consultants covering 20 different markets, with great results.
Working with Barb and Sharon at teamworks is always a pleasure. They’re creative, attentive and keep projects moving to ensure that deadlines are met. I’ve seen firsthand how they take the time to learn as much about our organization, so they can help craft messages that best tell our story to constituents. We’ve seen great results at the St. Louis Area Foodbank and I would recommend teamworks to anyone who was interested.
