Calysto Communications to Manage Public Relations Activities for Globecomm

Calysto Communications, a global public relations and social media marketing firm focused on the broadcasting, mobile and telecommunications industries, announced that Calysto will provide public relations support to Globecomm , a leading global provider of managed network services.
 
Calysto Communications is a recognized leader in public relations and social media for companies in the broadcasting, mobile and telecom industries. The agency is focused on helping clients combine "traditional" public relations activities with innovative social media marketing techniques to get the most out of their public relations programs.
 
Globecomm which is already a recognized leader in the satellite industry -- has tapped Calysto to help the company deliver its unique message to new industry segments such as the mobile market and to support PR activities for the wireless and government industries.
 
Globecomm provides end-to-end managed services to meet the communications needs of organizations around the world. It offers a wide range of hosted and managed communications services that leverage its global transmission capacity and network of data center, content management and switching facilities.
 

 
Globecomm specializes in providing total solutions that free you to focus on your core mission -- whether it is telecommunications, broadcasting, retailing, serving constituents, maintaining security or projecting force. It delivers systems and services anywhere in the world, under any conditions. From secure military applications in a war zone to a hybrid terrestrial-satellite network under tight cost and schedule constraints.
 
Each member of Calysto's 50-member team boasts 10 to 25+ years of experience in public relations, marketing and social media marketing and at least eight years of experience in communications technologies (broadcasting, mobile and telecom).
 
This experience has led to impressive results for clients -- both in social media and in the traditional public relations arena. For instance, a social media campaign spearheaded by one member of Calysto's team resulted in coverage in more than 100 blogs. As a result, the company added more than 3,000 qualified software developers to its open source community and drove more than 10,000 unique visitors to the company's site in just 60 days after the campaign launched.
 
Another company signed a multimillion dollar contract thanks to the press coverage Calysto secured during a CTIA Wireless trade show. Yet another Calysto client secured an RFP and more than a dozen direct sales leads thanks to the big splash its announcement made at Supercomm this year.
