Q) Who leads the company?
Eric Starkman is the firm’s president and founder. Eric is a former journalist, having spent more than 15 years as a business reporter and editor at major newspapers in the U.S. and Canada, including The Wall Street Journal, American Banker, The Detroit News, The Toronto Star, and The (Montreal) Gazette. Prior to founding S&A, Eric was a senior executive at a major New York public and investor relations firm that has since been acquired.
Q) How long has the firm been in business?
S&A was founded in March of 1999.
Q) Does S&A specialize in any particular sectors?
S&A does not define itself as serving any one particular niche or industry. However, we have significant expertise and experience working with companies within the financial services, healthcare/biotech, legal, professional services, and technology/e-commerce sectors.
Q) How large is S&A?
As a privately held company, we don’t disclose our revenues. However, suffice to say we rank among the top 100 PR and investor relations firms in the country.
Q) Wouldn’t a representative from one of the so-called “global” PR agencies have better access to reporters at influential publications?
Quite the contrary. Our media contacts are second-to-none. Given our prestigious client roster, we have developed a very high level of credibility with influential reporters and editors. Unlike many of those bigger PR agencies, our media relations initiatives for clients are typically handled by senior-level staff members.
Q) Who do I contact if I would like more information about the firm?
Potential clients can contact Eric Starkman directly at 212.624.9755.
