Who We Are

With The Click of a Button...

Technology has allowed people to be in control of what messages reach them. They can fast-forward through commercials, block advertisements on the Internet or skip them altogether in magazines. It has changed the dynamics of advertising, marketing and PR and opened new and exciting avenues for us to originate, recreate and escalate the demand for clients’ products, brands and services. We're a team of market movers and shakers; strategists, marketers, brand managers, publicists, graphic designers, interactive media and web developers who use modern technology and marketing savvy to catch your attention and stop you in your tracks.

Our Philosophy

We know the best way to reach consumers is to understand them emotionally, mentally, psychologically, even culturally. It’s important that we create campaigns that start trends with our clients’ products so they evoke feelings inside of people to move them to action. We position these products and services in a way where the message is memorable and unforgettable to their target audience.

Think of Us As

Everyone is special. They deserve to have products, brands and services that acknowledge that uniqueness. Every client is special too. They deserve to have their products and services positioned so that they create a buzz and cause excitement in the market. So consider us like… professional matchmakers. We’re here to learn you and your audience’s personality, wants, needs, and desires. We relate and connect clients with compatible people and watch the magic happen.

We're In This Together

Advertising, marketing and PR should always be fun and creative. We value integrity, honesty, constructive self-criticism and mutual respect. It’s important that we “get” you and you “get” what we’re trying to do for you. We encourage all of our clients to have an active partnership with us.

Client:

Parents and Teachers for Our Public Schools (PATFOPS)

Challenge:

Vision:

St. Julien Communications Group felt that if the communities of Houston had well crafted stories and visual imagery highlighting the pros to the bond passing and those who already support it, positive impressions would result in increased supporters. We provided photojournalist services to capture photos, cover events, and send press releases to community-based media outlets. Content and photography were sent to over 45 publications.

Articles, photos and captions were published in various publications leaving positive impressions on over 4 million readers. áThe HISD bond proposal passed.

Client:

Buffalo Soldiers National Museum (BSNM)

Challenge:

Buffalo Soldiers National Museum wanted to gain the African-American communityÆs support in efforts to support its 4.1 million dollar capital campaign to purchase and renovate its new location.

Vision:

St. Julien Communications Group felt that if the Buffalo Soldiers National Museum host a privy reception to bring together and honor the African-American publishers of Houston for their support of historical establishments that preserve the history and culture of the African-American, then the publishers would be more willing to agree to support the museum with in-kind advertising. Not only would they agree, but they would try to out do one another in their commitments.

Result:

In-kind media advertising valued at $370,000 was raised through a strategic approach of bringing together the Black Press of Houston (18 publications) to support the museum. The advertising which runs in each publication monthly, directs readers to the museums website where more information regarding the museum, its artifacts and their history, and the capital campaign is displayed.

Client:

North Houston Frontiers Club

Challenge:

North Houston Frontiers wanted to gain an increase in young executive memberships from the African-American community, awareness across all cultural demographics, and an increase in sponsorship value through the efforts of their annual Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Breakfast.

Vision:

St. Julien Communications GroupÆs had a vision to bring in a cross generational international Icon that could be or currently is respected by many cultures on an intellectual level but who also appealed to African American young executivesÆ hip-hop culture and followed in the teachings of Martin Luther King, Jr. This would not only increase interest and attendees from all cultures, but would elevate the media coverage and marketing appeal creating more impressions leading to more value for sponsors and an increase in members.

Result:

The event had over $300,000 in local, regional and national media impressions. It had the largest diverse crowd of attendees up to date. Corporate sponsors were extremely pleased and made immediate commitments for the following yearÆs event. Membership of young professionals from the African-American community increased.
