   Hype Communications, Llc

   Jun 2009 — Present · Madison, WI, US

   HYPE Communications is an integrated marketing communications firm. We work with a network of independent professionals from all different walks of life, with different experiences and perspectives. We team up for the sole purpose of helping our clients HYPE up their marketing and communications objectives.Like all businesses, we have a story to tell. The launch of ours was in 2009. From humble beginnings in not-so-pleasant times to succeeding as an upstart. We felt we had something to offer the organizations feeling the same pinch – so we began partnering with clients and sharing ideas for value-added marketing that would be the drivers for many to weather the storm.We have been helping upstarts, non-profits, large to small businesses, and individuals share their stories, humming to the tune of cost-effective, knock-your-socks-off marketing and spreading the word. That is why 99% of our client base is by referral, and that’s something to be proud of.
