Located in Lynchburg, Virginia, Hooks Associates provides professional counsel and services in the areas of public relations, advertising, employee communications, issues management and marketing communications. Our goal is not merely to inform or entertain. We help our clients create the understanding necessary to achieve their organizational goals. We develop communications solutions that move people to action and that provide the information they want and need to make intelligent decisions—whether it's in the marketplace, the workplace or the public arena. Since our founding in 1980, we've focused on long-term relationships with a select number of clients, typically small- to medium-size firms, divisions of major national corporations, and professional associations. These are organizations that recognize the importance of carefully conceived, professionally designed and skillfully implemented communications, but find it more cost-effective to use outside counsel rather than incurring the overhead of in-house staff.
