Redding Native helps 5-Year-Old Advertising/PR Firm Garner Recognition in Hartford Business Journal’s List of Top 25 Agencies.

February 29, 2012, Plantsville, CT—When Barack Obama was getting ready to run for President of the United States, Kate Terricciano Sirignano had recently graduated from college and had already been tapped to run marketing teams for companies such as General Motors and CoCo Key Water Resorts. Only a few months later she started a company called Image Marketing Consultants and after years of working alone, Sirignano began building her team early in 2011, starting with Redding native Amanda Bellantoni as the public relations and marketing coordinator. Today, as President Obama is embarked on his reelection campaign, Sirignano and Bellantoni along with the rest of their team are celebrating their agency’s inclusion this month in the Hartford Business Journal’s “Book of Lists” as one of the county’s Top 25 advertising and public relations agencies.

Bellantoni graduated from Joel Barlow High School in 2006 and then went on to earn her Bachelor's Degree in Communications from Central Connecticut State University before joining the Southington based advertising and pr firm.

IMC has grown rapidly and decisively thanks to the focus and energy of their young staff which has helped clients such as the American Red Cross, Winterberry Gardens, Puerto Vallarta Restaurants, William B. Meyer, Inc. and more than a dozen others reach their advertising and public relations objectives.

The company’s inclusion in Hartford Business Journal’s list of “Top 25 Advertising and Public Relations Agencies in Hartford County” is simply another step on the company’s road to continued success. “We may lack years of history, but we more than make up for it in confidence, enthusiasm and our independent spirit,” commented Bellantoni.

Today, IMC (http://imagemarketingconsultants.com) is a full-service marketing, event management, and public relations firm with a sharp grasp on the regional media market and an effective reach throughout the northeast corridor.
