Eleven Six PR

Eleven Six is a new breed of agency. We do not do things like everyone else. With a focus on not only Public Relations but also Social Media and Marketing, we are driven not by how much press we can secure for our clients but rather how we can positively impact their bottom lines. How is business? Are you getting the number of guests you want? How are your competitors doing? Are you turning a profit? Are investors interested in what you're doing? Are you being recognized as an industry leader? Are you engaging with consumers in a meaningful way? These are the questions we ask our clients and are motivated by each and every day. So while the media coverage is key, we go way, way beyond media relations as sometimes it takes more than a thick clip book to help our clients not only achieve, but surpass their business goals.Our stellar list of global clients spans the travel, culinary and lifestyle industries. With offices in New York City and Westchester County, along with affiliates around the world, our reach can be as niche and tailored or as wide-ranging as our clients need.
