I recently had Lainya conduct a critique and market analysis of my work. I recently had Lainya conduct a critique and market analysis of my work. Her professionalism from our initial conversation had me confident in her knowledge base and ability to assist me in reaching my professional goals. She spent time getting to know me, my work and where I wanted to take it. The final analysis was well-written, thorough and provided me the information I needed to create a focused business plan. Most of all, I appreciated the time she spent with me to consult, inquire and finally build context around her final report. Her work was critical in helping me develop next steps. She is a valuable resource to any artist looking to become more strategic with their career.

ART IS MY PASSION, AND IT'S ALSO MY BUSINESS. I sought out A&O PR because I knew I needed expertise in the areas of marketing, specifically in the arts. My experience working with A&O PR has been outstanding! I love them! Their professionalism, proficiency and efforts have surpassed my expectations. They have given me clear and concise plans in the areas of marketing, web development, social media outreach, branding and strategies. They are extremely versed and current in the art world and various art markets making them the pivotal choice for artists who are serious about their career. With their involvement, I have the freedom to focus on my art. An overwhelming thank you to A&O!

"BAYWOOD ARTISTS HIGHLY RECOMMENDS A&O PR. In early June of 2011, BayWood Artists enlisted the professional advice of A&OPR. BayWood Artists are a group of fine artists dedicated to preserving the environment for future generations to enjoy. We produce an annual exhibition and sale of paintings to raise both funds and awareness of Bay Area environmental causes. Each year we donate fifty percent of the proceeds from painting sales to an organization that protects the land and the environment.

A&O advised us of the need to address our online presence through an updated website that integrated search and social - something we had no idea we needed to do. At their recommendation, we realized our website was a maze of confusing and dated information and that we had no social media presence. Lainya explained the importance of our website as a marketing tool to provide credibility, visibility, and saleability. She then connected us with a great and affordable web designer, and acted as project manager and liaison throughout the whole process.

The experience allowed us to really define who we are as a group, create a mission statement and most importantly, become a legitimate non profit. Lainya advised us throughout the entire process and worked within in our modest budget.

BayWood Artists highly recommends A&O PR and feels that our relationship with A&O is so vital to our future success, that we are requesting grant monies to afford another year of their most valuable guidance."

"I AM HONORED TO BE THE FIRST ARTIST TO HAVE WORKED WITH A&O and I am looking forward to working with them again. We initially came together to create a media kit that successfully produced 3 strong leads, and I was inspired by their professionalism the entire way through. I later realized the real benefit of working together was the empowering feeling of building a community that believes in what I do. The chance to openly and genuinely discuss possibilities and share ideas on an equal playing field provided vital insight to my career, proving to be the greatest reward of all."

"I HIGHLY RECOMMEND A&O FOR ANY ARTIST-ESTABLISHED OR JUST STARTING OUT.
The business end of the creative field can be cumbersome, and can even take away from the creative process. Building a relationship with A&O can help keep you focused on your vision, and expand the possibilities of who will experience that vision."
