Gaughan & Swann offers a number of communications services to companies and firms. We specialize in turn-key projects that most PR professionals dont have a depth of experience in executing. Some of our offerings include Earned Media Evaluation reporting, Survey Campaigns and Message Board Monitoring and Management.

The company is a partnership that includes professionals with deep experience in public relations, broadcast journalism, market research and marketing. We also offer a suite of services designed to give companies strategic thinking and plans on par with any agency. However, this two-month process is just that a two month process. It does not result in a roadmap for endless agency fees or retainers. We help companies fish for themselves.
