ANNE KLEIN COMMUNICATIONS GROUP:
A Brand New Firm with a 25 Year History
Marlton, NJ - Aug. 13, 2007 - Anne Klein & Associates, Inc. is marking its 25th anniversary by celebrating change: a new name, an expanded ownership team and an expanded offering of communications services. “We are proud of our accomplishments over the past 25 years,” said Anne Sceia Klein, president of the firm. “But we decided it is more important to focus on the future and how we can serve our clients even better.”
The new name for the firm is Anne Klein Communications Group, LLC (AKCG). The new ownership team includes Anne and Jerry Klein, the original owners, plus John Moscatelli, senior vice president and COO, and Michael Gross and Christopher Lukach, both account managers. “As we planned for the future and our next 25 years, we knew we needed to introduce the next generation of leadership for the firm,” said Anne Klein.
“Changing our name to ‘Communications Group’ signifies we are offering our clients a broader array of communications services. The firm began as a public relations agency, and it still is. But through our Senior Counselors ALLIANCE and membership in Pinnacle Worldwide, we now offer our clients so much more – branding, new and social media services, advertising, market research and more,” she added.
Gross and Lukach, both graduates of Rowan University, joined the firm in 2004. “We are both comfortable with the new media and social media aspects of Internet-enabled communications,” said Gross. “And the experience we are gaining every day with Anne, Jerry and John as mentors is tremendous.”
“The types of clients our firm works for and the quality of the programs we develop have given us amazing opportunities to grow rapidly in experience and capabilities,” said Lukach. “This is an ideal place for Mike and me to contribute our expertise in online communications and marketing, while honing our strategic planning and issues management skills with three of the top minds in the business.”
AKCG’s clients include healthcare systems and healthcare-related companies, Fortune 500 companies, information technology providers, and financial services, educational and nonprofit organizations.
