The public relations work was led by Maryanne Keeney, owner of Maryanne Keeney Public Relations (www.mkpr.net), in conjunction with Fuseideas as it completed design, advertising and copywriting for Snip-its.

“We partnered with Maryanne and her colleague Didi Lutz because of her strong experience with consumer launch programs. We both had a similar vision of where we wanted to take Snip-its and how to promote its entrepreneurial founder,” said Dennis Franczak, CEO of Fuseideas. “Having worked with Maryanne and Didi before, they ensure that client messages are not only accepted by top media, but also reach deep with target audiences to influence behavior.”
