Media Relations
The Sunshine State Survey, managed by the University of South Florida’s School of Public Affairs in partnership with The Nielson Company, measures the views and opinions of Floridians on a wide range of economic, social, and political issues, providing valuable data for leaders, decision makers, citizens, and researchers. Martin Communications was engaged to provide public relations services – including media relations, press releases, distribution, and political engagement – to help effectively convey this important survey data.

"Martin Communications is top-notch, offering a wide variety of services in the most professional and engaging manner. As former director of the USF Sunshine State Survey, I relied upon their expertise to promote and widely disseminate the results statewide to news media (local, state, national), professional associations, and citizen groups. The team was easy to work with, filled with great ideas, prompt in their responsiveness, and dependable."

McShane Communications
“Margie and her team deliver on their promises. Their impressive contributions over the past 15 years to McShane Communications have ensured our clients receive responsive, professional public relations services.”
Charlie McShane
Owner, McShane Communications
“Working with Margie and her team at Martin Communications was a great experience. They are always professional, well organized and available at a moment’s notice. Our challenge during a real estate downturn was to create not only confidence in our product (Waters Edge high-rise, luxury condos) but in the real estate market as a whole. Margie’s relationships with the media helped us launch a PR campaign that created awareness and third-party credibility to reassure homebuyers that purchasing real estate during the downturn was a smart move.”
Grant Wood
President, Stingray Asset Management
“After collaborating with Martin Communications on more than 100 projects for over a decade, I can guarantee three qualities you’ll quickly learn about the firm’s capabilities.
First, they are incredibly responsive. You want them on your team. Second, their work ethic is without compromise. Evenings, weekends – whatever it takes Margie and her team are there for our clients. Finally, incredibly intuitive.
With a proven track record for creative success in all phases of the business, Martin Communications understands exactly how to deliver what clients need.”
Nancy Walker
Founder, Walker Brands
“Martin Communications is an experienced, well-connected and trusted media and marketing firm with strong, deep and valuable relationships with Florida media, influencers and business leaders.
I relied upon Margie Martin and her company on a host of media/public relations projects, events and initiatives while I led corporate communications and media relations teams at Tampa Electric and Humana.
Time and time again, on deadline and on budget, Martin Communications delivered excellent results, and helped us reach our regional and national audiences with strategic messages and actionable content.”
