Walker Sands Communications Named a 2016 B2B Top Shop

CHICAGO, ILL. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 17, 2015 – Walker Sands Communications, a full-service public relations and digital marketing firm for B2B and technology companies, has been named to the 2016 B2B Top Shops by Chief Marketer.

Top Shops is a list of the top 50 U.S. B2B marketing agencies selected by Chief Marketer editors. Walker Sands was recognized for its exceptional service to the B2B industry with its innovative approach to marketing.

“We are honored to be recognized as a top B2B marketing agency by Chief Marketer,” said Mike Santoro, president of Walker Sands Communications. “This speaks to the hard work and dedication of our PR, social, content marketing and digital teams to build awareness, credibility and conversions for our clients.”

Specifically, Chief Marketer recognized Walker Sands for its campaign to generate buzz, drive web traffic and boost registrations for an online marketplace client. Walker Sands launched a series of humorous pop culture design competitions to create logos or alter existing images for prize money. Major media outlets ranging from MTV News to Adweek to BuzzFeed took notice, and in just 90 days, web traffic increased by 1,900 percent and new registrations by 700 percent.

“B2B has a reputation for being less exciting than B2C, but that doesn’t have to be the case,” said Santoro. “Our clients create innovative products and services that household name brands use in their everyday operations. When we can get our clients’ names in front of a large audience in examples like this, we’re proud.”

B2B Top Shops is an online searchable directory highlighting each agency’s core services, contact information and specialties. Brands, marketing professionals and others seeking expert B2B agencies and partners can reference this easy-to-use resource on ChiefMarketer.com.

Based out of Chicago, Walker Sands has grown rapidly since it was founded in 2001. The agency has expanded in size and offerings using a unique approach to marketing called the Digital Ecosystem, which focuses on an integrated approach to digital marketing and public relations. Other awards Walker Sands has won recently include Entrepreneur’s Top Company Cultures and Inc. 5000, and the firm a finalist in this year’s Bulldog Star of PR awards.
