March 5, 2009

COLUMBIA, SC – March 5, 2009 – The Central SC Alliance recently hired the lead generation firm of Gruber Phillips (GP) http://gruberphillips.com/ headquartered in Red Bank, New Jersey. After meeting with GP out back in November on a marketing trip to New Jersey and New York, the Alliance has entered into a 1-year contract for lead generation services.

 The initial phase conducted by GP will be working over the next couple of weeks developing a focused list of companies representing a mix of industries to include specific targets such as Aerospace & Defense, Homeland Security, Environmental Technologies, Renewable/Alternative Energy, Industrial Machinery, Precision Machining, Food Processing/Distribution, and Pharmaceuticals. As the year progresses, GP will pursue specific geographic-focused appointment-setting missions based on the Alliance’s travel.

 In addition, the Central SC Alliance is in the final stages of selecting a lead generation firm to assist with companies in the “Euro Zone” and expects to have this wrapped up in the next 60-days. While the Alliance recognizes the precarious economic times we all are living in, it is taking an aggressive approach with its marketing efforts and remains focused on new companies, existing industries, and site consultants.
