"The Corporate Image guided Bristol Virginia Utilities as we entered the national spotlight for our advanced telecom achievements and launched a new consulting division by masterminding major marketing strategies for BVU FOCUS and our "Leading the Way" campaign. This company is also excellent at day-to-day communications ... video and ad production, press releases and newsletters, crisis response and writing award nominations.

In the mining industry, we have a critical shortage of qualified skilled labor. When we crafted an Employee Appreciation Program, we called on The Corporate Image to assist us. The firm came through with flying colors. From their help with crafting a media program, which resulted in our innovative program being lauded in targeted media outlets, to individualized stock certificates handed to every employee - The Corporate Image was with us every step of the way. The regional and national news coverage they garnered for us was effective in driving our company's image even higher in the industry.

Our State Street Webcam

This camera is mounted on the historic Paramount Theatre in downtown Bristol. The camera is mounted on the Tennessee side and most of what you see is actually in Virginia.

The street you see is State Street, which divides Tennessee and Virginia.

Our Office Webcam

This camera is literally located in one of the reception areas inside our building. If you’re ever curious how early we get to work – sign on early! By the way, take a moment to notice all the awards on the shelf!
