The Story Behind ALQO Marketing

After working in the public and private sectors in the areas of marketing, communications, public relations, event management, and a start-up setting, Ana was approached by small businesses that wanted to hire her as their marketing manager. She saw an opportunity to start a marketing firm catering to these small businesses by offering customized marketing solutions with results at affordable rates. Always someone to approach an opportunity head on, Ana created ALQO Marketing. At ALQO Marketing, we work closely with each client to build a creative and consistent brand message across all forms of advertising and publicity. Our approach is all about collaboration with results. We enjoy working creatively with each client to design integrated marketing programs that work for our clients and their budgets, while delivering effective results.
