The Orange County Chamber of Commerce’s new advertising and public relations agency is Focus Media. With 2,000 members the Orange Chamber is one of New York’s largest. Dr. John A. D’Ambrosio, Chamber President, said, “In just a few short years Focus Media C.E.O. Josh Sommers has developed one of the region’s premier public relations and advertising firms. He and his staff will bring a new energy to the Chamber’s promotional activities, ultimately making our events and services to members even more effective.”
Focus is also a leading political strategy firm in New York State, which, said Dr. D’Ambrosio, “will help the Chamber enormously with its business advocacy and lobbying efforts on behalf of our members and the entire business community.” “We’re elated to help the Chamber effectively communicate with its members and marketplace and grow market share,” said Sommers. “This includes leveraging our issue campaign experience for the Chamber on business advocacy issues.” Focus Media Director of Marketing Kerry Donovan will coordinate day to day support for the Orange Chamber’s advertising and public relations needs, and will be working with Dr. D’Ambrosio and Chamber staffers to extend content from the newly redesigned Chamber website www.orangeny.com to social media platforms.
