SAN MATEO, CA (December 6, 2001) - THUNDER FACTORY, a new integrated marketing and strategic communications firm focused on closing sales and driving revenues for clients, has been launched by a group of marketing, advertising and PR executives who share a vision to re-claim the business-building legacy of the global marketing and communications industry. The firm's Web address is www.thunderfactory.com.

THUNDER FACTORY offers a full range of marketing consulting and communications agency services to deliver integrated solutions that help clients gain market traction quickly. The firm is structured to ensure that each client receives the day-to-day attention of senior, business-focused marketing executives who are doers, not just strategists.

"If a marketing firm is not focused on increasing the sales and revenues of its clients, then it's probably wasting the clients' money," said Patrick Di Chiro, president and CEO of THUNDER FACTORY. "Our goal is simple: To increase our clients' top-line and bottom-line results, and build their brands for long term market leadership."


Strategic Initiatives

THUNDER FACTORY's operating philosophy, called Strategic Business Creation�, focuses on counseling clients to do the right things -- implementing the right mix of integrated marketing strategies and business-building tactics to create new revenue opportunities for clients. To advance this philosophy, THUNDER FACTORY has launched multiple strategic marketing initiatives. These include:

Marketing Technologies - The firm is working with leading software companies to develop and offer a range of business-building marketing applications that exploit the power of technology to strengthen, streamline and accelerate the marketing process.
Virtuous Value Circle Marketing Vehicle - Based on many years of working with leading brand marketers and media organizations, the firm has created an innovative direct action marketing vehicle that joins marketers, their target customers and media organizations in a Virtuous Value Circle.
Proprietary Research Device - THUNDER FACTORY is building a new research product that uses advanced technology to connect and engage immediately with highly sought after -- but traditionally hard to reach -- customer segments.
