Why Hanser & Associates?

We'll skip the glittering generalities and dazzling buzzwords some public relations firms use to describe their services. You've undoubtedly heard them – mysterious and exciting monologues that leave you wondering what public relations means to your business.

We want you to understand public relations and why Hanser & Associates is a good partner for building and maintaining the relationships you need for continued success.

Client-focused

At Hanser & Associates, our clients are our partners and friends (wouldn't work be a lot more fun if everybody felt that way?), and we invest in learning their industries. We intimately understand consumer, business-to-business, healthcare/medical, financial services, travel/entertainment, technology and energy/environment sectors, among others. We share a sense of pride and responsibility in helping clients grow their businesses. We deliver on promises, and we're accountable for getting results.

Our investment in clients shows in our service – the common sense things that make relationships work. For example, our clients' account teams don't change without their approval. We proactively seek opportunity and communicate it clearly. We stick to our budgets, and our invoices and reports are concise. Attention to these details creates success for our clients and us.

Public relations specialists

From our offices in Des Moines and Omaha, Hanser & Associates focuses solely on the practice of public relations. We're in the relationship-building business; we plan and implement communication programs that help clients build and maintain relationships with people important to their future. Our clients come to us for solid counsel to meet their business objectives, and we deliver results through proven public relations services.

Research is at the heart of our measurable public relations programs, because it initiates, monitors and concludes the problem-solving process. It would be difficult to measure the progress or success of any program without research. So we ask questions. We do our homework. And we listen.

Recognized

It's rewarding to work with leading companies and their decision-makers – people who appreciate creativity, insight and hustle. And when our peers recognize the strategic communication solutions we bring to clients, we all share in the excitement.

Hanser & Associates has won more than 30 international, national and local awards for its public relations work during the past five years, including the Public Relations Society of America’s “Best of Show” and a national Bronze Anvil – the “Oscar” of PR.

Global

We're pleased to serve our clients with help from three valuable partners: the global PR experts of Pinnacle Worldwide, Inc., the unparalleled research of GfK, and the advertising expertise of Redstone Communications.

Respected

Hanser & Associates hires exceptional people who are committed to our clients and our culture. Our diverse backgrounds allow us to look at a project from every angle. We're able to analyze complex situations and move quickly. We understand your point of view, because, chances are, we've been there.

Our team members value individuality, yet are bound by mutual admiration, respect and creativity. We enjoy working together, and it shows. Our clients appreciate knowing that they can build long-term relationships with a consistent account team, including senior management.

It's this combination of knowledge and responsiveness that places us among the top 20 independent PR firms in Midwest cities and earned us the title of Central Iowa's Best Public Relations Firm for seven consecutive years.
