Healthcare, technology companies choose Eiler as PR Agency of Record
ANN ARBOR, MI -- January 14, 2008 -- Eiler Communications announced three new client additions today: Comfortex, a Minneapolis, Minn.-based hospital equipment manufacturer; Tener Technologies (Tenertech), an IT company in Ferndale, Mich. and VPSI, Inc., the nation’s leading vanpool services provider, headquartered in Troy, Mich.
“The addition of Comfortex and Tenertech demonstrates positive growth in two of Eiler’s industry focus areas: technology and healthcare,” said Larry Eiler, co-founder and CEO of the firm. “VPSI contracted Eiler to manage proactive national public relations, and our media relations expertise will help introduce the company to the public in a new way.”
Tenertech contracted Eiler to help increase regional visibility with media relations and marketing communications strategies. Both Comfortex and VPSI launched full-service public relations programs that include award and speaker programs, national media relations and Web-based communications.
Comfortex manufactures hospital equipment, including mattresses and stretcher cushions. Most recently, Comfortex released the Landing Strip bedside floor mat, which helps hospitals and long-term care facilities meet new JCAHO fall safety requirements. For 25 years, Comfortex has designed products to optimize patient comfort and safety, serving national health systems like the Mayo Clinic and long-term care facilities of all sizes.
Tenertech specializes in IT services and solutions for small-to-mid-sized businesses throughout the Midwest. A Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, Tenertech provides network consulting, design and implementation, on-call technical support, Web site and multiple-platform server hosting and software customization services to more than 300 clients.
VPSI is the nation’s leading provider of vanpool services, operating more than 3,500 vanpools in 40 major U.S. and European cities. VPSI serves industries, individuals and Fortune 500 companies around the world by providing the vehicles, insurance and maintenance costs to 6 to 14 commuters who share common destination points and helping individuals join existing vanpool routes through a Web site search tool.
