To Better Serve Small and Medium Businesses Andrew Hayden brings over decade of senior level business and marketing experience to the company September 24, 2002 - Raleigh, NC - EC Stewart Design and Communications today announced that it has added marketing and business consulting services to its existing design services to offer clients a full range of business solutions. Andrew Hayden joins the company as vice president of consulting services. Hayden brings over a decade of senior level experience in marketing and corporate communications, including experience with Coca-Cola and IBM as well as several start-up companies in the Triangle area. With the addition of Mr. Hayden, EC Stewart Design Studio has changed its name to EC Stewart Design and Communications to reflect its broader range of services. "As our client base has grown over the years, it became apparent that we need to offer more than just outstanding design services," said Lisa Stewart, president of EC Stewart Design and Communications. "By adding marketing and business consulting services to our offerings, we are able to deliver a complete solution to our clients that they cannot receive from a business partner that only offers design services." EC Stewart Design and Communications has built a growing business over the past several years by providing affordable Web and graphic design services to small and medium businesses as well as individuals in the music and entertainment fields. By adding communications and marketing to its offerings, the company is now able to provide clients with supporting services that further help their businesses grow. "We've heard many businesses express frustration that they don't know whether a new Web site is effective. They don't know how to promote their new site in ways that promote sales and increase awareness," Stewart said. "Now, we can help our customers support their custom Web site designs with integrated marketing and communications plans that generate interest and, ultimately, increase revenues." New services include:
"With our ever expanding client base and the needs that they have for marketing support, our ability to offer services beyond Web design is critical to their success," said Hayden. " A new Web site without the support of integrated marketing and communications is like buying a new car and keeping it in the garage. Now we can help our customers drive revenue and know that they are getting significant return on their investment."
