LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - April 23, 2008) - Smart Girls Consulting (SGC), and R2 Communications (R2), both Los Angeles-based boutique marketing communications agencies, announced today that they have formed a strategic alliance aimed at offering small business owners and female entrepreneurs much needed service options in the areas of social media, search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM). Services will include management of online advertising programs such as Google AdWords, optimized press release distribution, SEO website copywriting, social media strategy and site development, and blog development and management.

"Historically, any time you have new forms of marketing and advertising the only people who can afford to take advantage of them are the companies and individuals with deep pockets," remarked Rebekah Iliff, Founder of SGC.

Elizabeth Rietz of R2 added, "With my understanding of social media and SEO coupled with Rebekah's entertainment marketing and branding background, we can give clients in-demand services for a fraction of big agency prices. Our passion is to support other small businesses, particularly those owned by females, because we understand the implications and challenges that accompany being a female entrepreneur."

To celebrate the launch of the alliance, and in honor of Mother's Day, SGC and R2 will offer new client prospects in the "mommy-owned," online business sector one complimentary press release to be used as a marketing tool or to be distributed over the newswire.
