The firm changed its name in 1984 to reflect the full range of communications services now offered by the company. As a full service agency, the Image Group handles creation and production of print and broadcast ads, media placement, marketing, market research, public relations, audio-visual presentations and art services. “We’re particularly excited about our advertising specialties division.

We also offer a full line of wearables including imprinted jackets, Tshirts, caps, casual shirts and sweaters,” said Ganshom. The Image Group employs 23 persons.
