Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
We started our company in 2002. After working for 10 years on the client side, we were disappointed by the "sizzle and no meat" offered by other service providers. We believe in under promising and over delivering. We knew we could do it better than the other public relations firms.
What is your primary product or service?
We are a public relations firm for corporations, products and services sold or available nationwide. Our specialty is national public relations campaigns. This includes media relations, social media, crisis communications, corporate communications and more.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Our founder Jason Mudd spent his first professional years in journalism. He quickly realized that he preferred to be on the agenda-setting side of news and not just reporting others' agendas. Public relations requires great communications, a sense for news and the ability to think and act strategically.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We specialize in public relations. Many advertising agencies offer PR, yet their focus is advertising. Most advertising agencies and PR firms only do local and very limited PR. We specialize in national PR campaigns and we are only interested in PR work.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We have several locations.
Provide detailed directions to your location
I would visit our website (www.axiapr.com) and find the nearest Axia location. Be sure you have an appointment before coming over and seeing us.
What type of payments do you accept?
We accept business checks and prepayments on all public relations services. We can discuss options for corporate credit cards, when that's appropriate.
Which areas do you service?
Our public relations firm works nationwide.
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
Our public relations firm is employee owned and operated.
What are your hours of operation?
Our public relations firm's office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday though Friday, except major holidays. However, you should make an appointment before stopping by our offices.
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
Referrals are the very best compliments that our clients give us.
