Worldwide Media Group* and Academy Communications, Inc. Consolidate Divisions to Form Academy Media Group

July 28, 2008

Highland Heights, OH – Worldwide Media Group* has announced the recent consolidation of divisions and name change within its organization.  In keeping in line with industry trends and satisfying its clients’ needs, Worldwide Media Group* has taken steps to diversify its product suite.

The agency has added Search Engine Marketing, including Search Engine Optimization and Pay-Per-Click, Website Design/Development and Email Marketing services to its existing offerings for National White and Yellow Pages advertising for print directories and the Internet.

In doing so, the Cleveland-area company realized the added benefit of bringing its specialized division together with its parent company, Academy Communications, Inc., to more effectively promote and market the organization as one entity, instead of two.  For the past twelve years each brand has worked independently and office personnel are looking with great anticipation toward the future.  Moving forward, Academy Communications, Inc. and its Worldwide Media Group* division will be united as Academy Media Group.

The company will continue to utilize its key resources; its employees, capitalizing on their strengths.  They will “marry” the two divisions and their respective service offerings to now encompass traditional media such as Radio, Television, Outdoor, Direct Mail and Promotions, in addition to the SEM, Web Design and Development, Email Marketing and the Yellow Pages services mentioned above.  This will allow staff members to work together more effectively to promote the company, as a whole, as a total solutions service provider for marketers and businesses of all sizes.
