How Access Ventures Uses Prowly for Easy Pro-Level PR

INTRODUCTION

Access Ventures is dedicated to adding an element of social responsibility to the way we invest. With their commitment to building a new, more inclusive financial paradigm, they are active in a number of funds and projects that facilitate economic growth and promote the entrepreneurial spirit. From their base in Louisville, Kentucky, Access Ventures has quickly established itself as a prominent voice in the community of investors driven by a mission to expand opportunities for all. They turned to Prowly to help them amplify that voice and share news of their good work with financial journalists and potential investment partners.

CHALLENGE

The people at Access Ventures are experts in identifying financial opportunities and delivering for their clients, not public relations. They needed a simple and easy to use tool for creating and sharing content with investors, the broader financial community and the general public about the work they do. That’s why they began looking for a way to create the professional-grade materials expected in their field but with minimal time and effort required to manage effective public relations. Also, Access wanted the peace of mind that comes with knowing that great customer support is always a click away in case they needed any help as they got started.

Prowly was a no brainer, I didn't even have to consider other options. I didn't need to try other software because Prowly has worked so well for us.
