We've partnered with Dittoe PR for the past six years because I truly value them as an extension of my marketing team. They excel at finding new and effective ways to share Merchants Bank's story externally, from placing stories in key trade publications to crafting engaging social media content.

They have identified and executed media relations campaigns better than what we could have imagined from an in-house team.
