Amanda Vega Consulting can be described in many different ways depending on which of our customers or competitors you ask. Many know us as one of the oldest social media marketing agencies in the country. Why? Many of us got our start at some of the first dotcoms managing chat rooms and forums, before social media was a term. Others will tell you that we are a public relations firm since our New York office has a knack for pulling off major media placements like “Oprah” and the “Today Show.” Some people think of us as an interactive agency; especially the big traditional ad agencies for whom we provide behind the scenes social media management services. The truth is that Amanda Vega Consulting is a full-service marketing communications firm. We specialize in public relations, web services (including search engine optimization and web design,) and social media (social media planning, social media management, and social media legal compliance.) But there’s something different here. We aren't generalists.
We do things a bit differently around here. We don’t fight over internal budgets between teams, and we don’t assign newbies to any account, ever. We don’t chase the most profitable dollar in lieu of doing what’s best for the client. We have successfully managed a team of over 200 in 15 countries and 4 languages making us truly global. Coined as the "anti-agency" by "Ad Age" over 10 years ago, our team is a group of specialists in their fields. We work to provide clients with the best solutions to their business needs even if it means recommending partner agencies or contractors. While we have no industry specific requirements, we do have special affection for the luxury space, organics, alternative energy, pharmaceutical, anything teen and tween related, complex e-commerce companies, shoes (of course), and an equal love for Fortune 500 companies as well as start-ups.
Our approach is a bit more abrasive than most firms, but it comes with tremendous results. Would you rather have fancy foam boards or more revenue to your bottom line? At the end of the day, we service clients directly in the areas of public relations, social media (including HIPAA, FDA, FTC, FINRA, IRB compliance,) and online marketing. Half of our clients include the top ad agencies of the world. These agencies appreciate the value of our interactive and social media expertise and continue to plug us in behind the scenes to implement social media the right way. And the other half are business of all sizes who need focused communications efforts from a seasoned team, without the fluff pricing. We believe there are advantages to our various locations, and the high pedigrees of our core team. And we believe there are advantages to our business model. We hire experts for each project, and they work with the core team to give our clients the best of breed every time. And there certainly is value to having been here longer than most. Twenty years in interactive world is no joke, and it comes with a lot of knowledge, (and a huge team of mommy bloggers that love us.) So, come check it out. Read more here and on the blog. We welcome your banter and your partnership, and we even welcome your dissent.
