Ballantine Communications

The Durango Herald serves a critical role in our community and region, and we are lucky that we have a local paper that is owned by folks who are part of our community. Perhaps as important a question as the one you ask is what we need to do to ensure that the situation doesn’t change

We appreciate local and regional coverage of environmental issues, political topics, and interesting people and places in our community.

Overall, I appreciate and feel satisfied with the coverage that Durango Herald provides.

Working with Carter Reed, our sales representative at Ballantine Communications, has been a delight. His exceptional responsiveness and professionalism coupled with a great attitude have made our experience truly enjoyable.

Over the years, I’ve been gratified to work with BCI on print, digital, video, and social media projects. I’ve found that they think beyond the short term, considering brand stewardship as their overarching mission. They work efficiently and with a genuine desire to realize the best result for their clients. They prioritize relationships, fair dealing and product quality. I would not flinch in recommending their services to any professional organization that cares about its client relationships!

BCI Media has been one of the best social marketing companies I have had the pleasure to work with. Not only have they helped increase our online presence, but are always looking for ways to improve it. They are always there to answer questions and are very friendly to work with. You can only win by working with BCI Media!

Ballentine hosted us at the 2023 Home and Ranch Show. It was a great event highlighting small businesses in the region. We made many new connections and had an excellent experience networking with other vendors, and attendees. Ballantine was organized and professional and they were very supportive from start to finish.

I just wanted to share a quick note and let you know that you guys do a fantastic good job. I'm glad we decided to work with you. It's really great how easy it was to talk to Georgiana Hallock and Michele Wayne about our needs all through winter with a wonderful execution throughout our busy season. We appreciate you Ballantine Communications!

In 2023, I was a vendor at two events organized by Ballantine Events. Georgiana was a pleasure to work with; she is communicative and very well organized.
