Kirk Communications Announces Opening of Portsmouth, New Hampshire Office

Portsmouth, NH., July 6, 2006 - Kirk Communications, a leading public relations, and integrated marketing communications firm, today announced the opening of its new office in Portsmouth, NH.

Kirk Communications made the decision to locate in Portsmouth, NH based on several factors including a favorable tax structure, close proximity to major transportation hubs such as Logan and Manchester Airport and the ability to access high speed train service to New York. In addition, New Hampshire has a healthy high tech and entrepreneurial community that is very pro-business.

"It feels great to be able to finally relocate to the Seacoast of New Hampshire. My family history on the Seacoast goes back to the 1600s and I feel a deep connection to the area," said Nathan Tennant, Kirk Founder. "New Hampshire has done all the right things to attract knowledge workers to the area and has one of the best entrepreneur climates in the country."

Communications strategies have become increasingly complex. Twenty years ago, marketing was something you threw money at but never saw any results. Smart companies are quickly realizing that thoughtful, long-term and integrated marketing strategies are what separate great companies and those that just exist. "We are excited about contributing to the health and vitality of the New Hampshire economy by developing integrated communications strategies and tactics that increase business revenue," said Tennant.
