      <description>SILVER SPRING, MD (August 6, 2008) &#8211; Strategic Communications Group, Inc. (Strategic), a nationally recognized, award&#45;winning public relations agency, and Tuvel Communications (Tuvel), an online communications firm, today announced a partnership to offer lead generation, sales cycle marketing and social media programs to technology, software, telecommunications, security and healthcare clients.


&#8220;I&#8217;ve known Marc and the Strategic team for many years,&#8221; said Tuvel Managing Director Mitch Arnowitz. &#8220;They understand the paradigm shift that&#8217;s taking place in the communications industry. Tuvel&#8217;s social media skills combined with Strategic&#8217;s traditional and now new media know&#45;how is an unbeatable combination.&#8221;. 


Strategic and Tuvel will work together to market each firm&#8217;s services to their existing clients, as well as collaborate on new business opportunities. In addition, the companies will exchange intellectual property related to best practices and participate in training programs for each firm&#8217;s respective staff.


Last month, Strategic announced a similar partnership with Web marketing firm Market Wise.&amp;nbsp; When appropriate, the three companies will collaborate on client assignments.&amp;nbsp; 


Marc Hausman, Strategic&#8217;s President and CEO, said, &#8220;I have always been impressed by Mitch&#8217;s ability to deliver meaningful results on marketing and lead generation programs.&amp;nbsp; The chance to work with him and Tuvel through a more defined and structured relationship will help us further grow our social media capabilities and more closely align Strategic&#8217;s work with lead generation and marketing programs.&#8221; 


About Tuvel 

Tuvel Communications is an online communications firm with a keen understanding of using the Internet to find &#8220;hidden&#8221; customers and to keep customers coming back again and again. Through our efforts and experience, companies and organizations have been able to increase sales efforts, raise money, get closer to their customers, increase the size and quality of databases, and change minds!


In today&#8217;s crowded marketplace companies must find innovative ways to break through the clutter to win the hearts and minds of their customers. Traditional telemarketing, advertising and direct mail are simply not enough as consumers are bombarded by thousands of messages every day. While more conventional marketing programs can be expensive, the Internet is still highly affordable. Tuvel offers a powerful way to reach customers directly, on their turf, when they are most open to hearing about your products and services.


Some of the organizations and companies that Tuvel has worked with include: Freedom Bank of Virginia, Tech Council of Maryland, Every Child Matters, TEOCO, Apptix, The British Midlands, and Venture Philanthropy Partners. For more information, visit: http://www.tuvel.com.

      <description>Silver Spring, MD(July 14 ,2008) &#45; Strategic Communications Group, Inc. (Strategic), a nationally recognized, award winning public relations agency, today announced its selection as PR agency of record by Epok Inc., a software company that allows organizations to securely extend application access across organizational boundaries leading to improved extranet flexibility, lower cost of operations, enhanced compliance and security.


As part of an integrated social media and business development campaign, Strategic will provide messaging, positioning and content development services for a set of social media programs, including executive blog development and social network engagement.&amp;nbsp; Strategic and Epok have also signed a lead referral agreement in which the agency will leverage contacts in its Network of Relationships&#174; to help Epok identify new business opportunities. 


&#8220;We turned to Strategic for two main reasons &#8211; they understand the security market and they&#8217;ve had proven results in executing integrated social media and business development campaigns,&#8221; said Oscar Fuster, VP of Marketing and Strategic Alliances for Epok.&amp;nbsp; &#8220;It was clear that they could quickly engage our target audience in a compelling conversation regarding security in collaboration.&#8221;

Shany Seawright, director at Strategic, said, &#8221;Very few users understand the security risks involved in using a collaboration platform.&amp;nbsp; As more organizations become distributed, use of collaboration tools is skyrocketing, opening more doors for security risks.&amp;nbsp; Epok has a clear opportunity to engage and educate the market on their services.&#8221;

      <description>SILVER SPRING, MD (October 23, 2007) &#8212; Strategic Communications Group, Inc. (Strategic), a nationally recognized, award&#45;winning public relations agency, today announced an expanded relationship as corporate agency of record for Integral Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ&#45;ISYS). Integral is the leading provider of complete satellite ground processing and control systems supporting more than 200 satellite missions worldwide. Through a series of strategic acquisitions, Integral companies include RT Logic, Newpoint Technologies, SAT and Lumistar.


&#8220;Strategic has supported our communications efforts for the past decade,&#8221; said Pete Gaffney, Executive Vice President, New Business and Technology Development at Integral Systems. &#8220;They were the obvious choice when we required a formal corporate program encompassing each of our subsidiaries. They know our business, are experts in our market and understand our vision for the continued growth of this company. It made sense to turn to the business counselors we&#8217;ve trusted for years.&#8221;


Strategic will work to build market visibility and corporate momentum through aggressive media, analyst, and financial communications programs. The firm will also launch an internal communications program to address nearly 500 employees in eight offices across the U.S.


&#8220;Integral Systems is a leader in the exciting commercial satellite systems market, with a strong heritage of technical innovation and some of the industry&#8217;s brightest, most committed employees,&#8221; said Shany Seawright, director at Strategic Communications Group. &#8220;We are thrilled to work with such a great team as they leverage their commercial market success to aggressively expand into the government, media, and communications markets.&#8221;


Integral was the first company to offer an integrated suite of commercial off&#45;the&#45;shelf (COTS) software and hardware products for satellite communications and today almost every commercial satellite operator in the world is their customer. The company has also delivered the CCS&#45;C ground system, the US Air Force&#8217;s first on&#45;time and on&#45;budget Milsatcom ground system.

      <description>SILVER SPRING, MD (May 7, 2007) &#8212; Strategic Communications Group, Inc. (Strategic), a nationally recognized, award&#45;winning public relations agency, today announced its selection as PR agency of record by Senforce Technologies&#174; Inc., a market leader in endpoint security management.


&#8220;With the proliferation of high capacity devices such as laptops and thumb drives, we&#8217;re seeing corporations storing critical data at their network&#8217;s endpoints without the means to effectively secure them,&#8221; said Senforce Vice President of Marketing Ed McGarr. &#8220;To educate the market on the need for endpoint security and counter the growing threat of endpoint security breaches, we sought an aggressive agency with a strong track record within the security market. Strategic was the ideal choice for our needs.&#8221;


Senforce&#8217;s Endpoint Security Suite (ESS) integrates all aspects of endpoint security enforcement. The solution recently was honored as SC Magazine 2007 Reader&#8217;s Trust award for Best Endpoint Security Solution. The ESS allows customers to protect computers and data from malicious attacks and unauthorized use at the endpoint.


Strategic will initiate a PR campaign to generate a high level of market awareness and visibility to promote Senforce&#8217;s business goals. Strategic will also tap into its Network of Relationships&#174; to support prospective business development activities.


&#8220;A recent survey of IT professionals at two leading technology tradeshows found that 56% of respondents are not confident in their organization&#8217;s endpoint security efforts,&#8221; said Strategic Director Shany Seawright. &#8220;The threat is clear and Senforce&#8217;s advance security solutions will be key for companies facing vulnerabilities at the endpoint. We are delighted to work with Senforce Technologies to further strengthen market awareness and drive corporate valuation.&#8221;
