Wilbert News Strategies, a communications firm focused on professional services clients, is built on relationships, knowledge and strategic thinking. For each client, WNS creates a communications program that delivers real and measurable business results.

Our first priority at WNS is to really understand your business, as well as the industry and environment in which you operate. Founder Tony Wilbert is known for his knowledge of—and relationships within—the local business community. Tony also has a deep understanding of the commercial real estate industry. A former journalist, he is connected in traditional media and is a leading-edge thinker on social media and how it can be incorporated into a communications program.

Big PR firm know-how, individual attention

When he left journalism after 14 years, Tony embarked on a career in public relations and communications that has given him experience at all levels and on both the agency and client sides. He began his PR career at Jackson Spalding, a well-respected Atlanta-based firm. From there, he went to Home Depot, where he served as a public relations manager for Atlanta's largest public company. He then seized the opportunity to be a senior vice president at Edelman, the world's largest independent PR company. This broad experience has positioned Tony well to work with real estate and professional services firms of different sizes. He understands their businesses and how to communicate their stories.

WNS specializes in both comprehensive, ongoing communications programs and single-focused projects. For instance, we have successfully implemented a multi-faceted communications program, which includes media relations, social media and thought leadership, for Carter, one of the leading commercial real estate firms in the country. We also have done smaller projects, such as generating media attention for technology firm iVision, creating a social media program for the Atlanta Galleria and publicizing the establishment of a new firm, Joel & Granot Commercial Real Estate. Our clients are in a wide range of industries including real estate, technology, finance and hospitality. By keeping WNS lean, Tony is involved day-to-day with every client. This sets WNS apart from larger firms, which have business models that depend on less-experienced employees performing the bulk of client work.

"I have worked with Tony Wilbert to help identify cutting-edge content and industry resources for our family of media products. It is my strong opinion that anyone looking for a qualified public relations professional will be more than satisfied bringing Wilbert News Strategies
on board."
