WE SAY: The shop has amplified its offerings in the past year: It acquired digital-media-focused Fulgent Media Group and added public relations as a capability, which it's already used to support nearly a dozen event programs.

RECESSION BUSTER: Use p.r. to expand event reach, which AMP did as part of a sampling program for a frozen dessert brand. Using just five percent of the total budget, p.r. efforts yielded a 700 percent ROI.
