25 Hits is a marketing communications firm that helps organizations navigate through the challenges that could prevent them from effectively reaching their most important audiences.
Wonder why we have such an interesting name? It’s because a washed-up catcher in the Carolina League showed us that you don’t get from the minors to the big leagues overnight. True success takes hard work and persistence to earn that “one extra flare … a gork … a ground ball with eyes … just one more dying quail a week” needed to get where you want to go. That’s why we wake up with a passion to help our clients get a little better each day…
For executive leadership, we are strategic advisors who can help them evaluate their broader business decisions through a communications lens.
For marketing and communications leaders inside an organization, we support their teams by leveraging decades of relationships and expertise to help them communicate effectively.
