Ward has really helped bring our PR program to the next level.
Our business has a hand in more than 10 different sectors, each with varying business goals and marketing demands. Ward has helped us to develop an overall public relations strategy aligning with our corporate goals, as well as modify segments of our plan for targeted sectors.
Project management, message development, and flexibility to work with multiple priorities has helped us to lay a better foundation for our communication programs, which has helped deliver more quality results. Their expertise and understanding of all aspects of public relations and media preparation has been a major asset to both our marketing team and the management.

Strategy
Develop a proactive, targeted and sustainable public relations plan segmented by target market to:- Provide deeper, industry specific education that the existing marketing program elements could not achieve;
- Create acceptance of decision makers in priority industries including oil and gas, petrochemical and refining, utilities, special events and manufacturing; and
- Raise awareness of the rent-versus-buy value proposition.
Results
After unsuccessful attempts by a previous agency to gain earned editorial, the client/agency team garnered coverage of news releases plus 13 in-depth articles demonstrating Aggreko’s successful power generation solutions and rent-versus-buy value proposition.
Ward continues to be a trusted partner to American Electric Technologies, Inc. that we rely upon for steady counsel to effectively cause action with all of our various stakeholder audiences whether that be customers, partners, investors or employees. They are knowledgeable, strategic and exceptionally responsive to our needs. I strongly recommend Ward to anyone looking to drive their company’s awareness to garner valuable business results.

As a company with over 180 years of history, and a strong global presence, it was challenging to enter North America in 2003 as a market newcomer. We’ve built our domestic reputation over the last ten years through word of mouth, but it wasn’t until we engaged Ward in 2012 that our brand began to really take off in the U.S.
Ward’s great work ethic and exceptional understanding of Bureau Veritas’ value proposition are the keys to Ward’s success in obtaining relevant, high profile media coverage for Bureau Veritas. I’ve been exceedingly happy with the results!

Bringing on Ward as our PR team has been very successful. They were integral to our marketing efforts as we changed our headquarters and transitioned into the Houston business community. Ward has kept up to the minute on our dynamic developments and worked on multiple fronts to deliver quality results. We have received unsolicited, positive feedback from the community about our company's placement in publications. This is a testament to their deep understanding and connection within the Houston media publications.

The Ward team is strategic, nimble, results-driven and extremely responsive to client needs. Their reliable counsel helped Prairie Companies successfully launch North Dakota LNG into the highly competitive Bakken shale play market and drive awareness across all of our various stakeholder audiences including customers, partners, investors and government officials. We could not have obtained the high level of communications results for NDLNG without Ward’s support and thank them for taking our brand presence in North Dakota up another notch.
