Calysto's First Strategic Partner in the New Program Is 151 Advisors, a Consulting Firm That Specializes in Helping Technology Companies Grow


ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - Jul 24, 2012) - Calysto Communications, a global social and traditional PR firm specializing in communications technologies, today revealed it is launching a new strategic partner program called Calysto's 'More than PR' Partner Program. The new program is designed to help its clients accelerate their marketing and overall business success.

Calysto's first partner in the program is 151 Advisors, a leading consulting and advisory firm that helps mobile, wireless, and web-based software and technology companies build and execute go-to-market strategies to drive revenue growth.

"Calysto's clients as well as the industry's influencers have long considered Calysto a valuable business partner, not just a PR firm," said Laura Borgstede, Calysto's CEO. "Calysto's new 'More than PR' Partner Program is one more example of how we strategically position our clients to help them successfully take their businesses to the next level."

"Our first-to-be-announced strategic partner, 151 Advisors, helps technology companies grow their business by reaching the right customers -- and by communicating the right message to these potential customers via the most appropriate channels," said Borgstede. "It's one more example of how Calysto is helping its communications technology clients get in front of the right audiences -- whether that be media, analysts, investors, customers or a customer's channel."

"151 Advisors has a proven track record of helping our technology clients develop and execute their business strategies and successfully take their products and services to market, and we recognize that strategic public relations can be an invaluable tool to help companies accomplish those goals," said Steve Brumer, Partner at 151 Advisors. "That's why we're so excited about our new partnership with Calysto and the potential it has to boost our clients' success."

Calysto has a long history of using PR to help companies take their businesses to the next level.
For example, Calysto has taken 20+ clients through a successful exit (whether IPO or acquisition), advising them how to use PR to increase the valuation of their company and to attract the attention of potential buyers. And Calysto's successful PR campaigns have generated new business leads for clients that have helped generate triple-digit sales growth.
