Bevel, a strategic communications and marketing consultancy that was acquired by Avenue Z in 2023, brings together its leadership under Avenue Z’s organizational structure and launches its Convergence PR offering. The offering, which is now available to the firm’s clients, aims to merge traditional PR tactics with paid media, digital marketing and performance media to increase the frequency and consistency of brand interactions, as well as strengthen client narratives across a wide range of platforms. “PR and strategic communications are tools for driving awareness to support launch initiatives, growth metrics and raising funds. To achieve broader reach, it’s critical that those PR efforts tie in with digital marketing assets that convert, and performance media that drives connections with the right audiences,” said Libbie Wilcox, director of Avenue Z New York and lead of their Alternative Assets practice.
