TOBIN & Associates Adds Clients; Expands Web Content Business

San Rafael PR/Marketing Consultant Broadens Service Offerings

San Rafael, CA—May 18, 2006 - TOBIN & Associates, which provides marketing and public relations consulting services, today announced two new clients and an expansion of its web content services.

The 11-year-old firm said that two San Francisco-based companies had selected TOBIN to design and to provide content for their websites:

• BeWell Mobile Technology, a provider of medical monitoring and treatment software via cell phones and
• Inventivity LLC, a strategic technology and business process improvement consulting firm.

“In the past year, the demand for our web design and content services has increased dramatically,” said Gary Tobin, principal and founder of the agency. “In addition to our two new clients, we have also been working with a San Francisco attorney to develop an extensive website.”

Tobin said the firm was also beginning to provide competitive website analysis. “While it is important to create a website that meets the requirements of your company,” he said, “it cannot be done in a vacuum.”

The new services include a one-time competitive assessment against direct competitors as well as a periodic review to ensure that the client’s website is current. The scope of the service can range from a written assessment to new content to an entire redesign. “Our task is to operate as a neutral third party and to help client’s maximize the value of their sites,” Tobin said.

In 2005, Tobin said the firm created four websites, working with independent graphics designers.

Tobin moved his firm to Marin County in 2004 after being based in New York City since 1995.  Among his current clients are Bluestein & Associates (www.whiteybluestein.com), based in Larkspur; Command Audio (www.commandaudio.com), based in Redwood City, and San Rafael-headquartered Epic Bancorp (NASDAQ:EPIK), parent company of Tamalpais Bank (www.tambank.com), and Epic Wealth Management. The firm also provides pro bono services to Guide Dogs for the Blind (www.gdf.com), also in San Rafael.

TOBIN & Associates (www.garytobin.com ) provides reputation management, corporate communications, strategic message development, public relations and marketing/brand building services.  The office is located at 523 4th Street, Suite 206, San Rafael, CA.  Tobin can be reached at 415-256-9490 or at gptobin2003@yahoo.com. 

Of counsel associates of the firm are located in New York, Washington DC and London.  TOBIN & Associates is also a practice partner of Stanton Communications (www.stantoncomm.com), which maintains offices in Washington DC, Baltimore and New York.
