Marketplex :: Public Relations : Marketing : Advisory Boards

Founded in 1986 by Tom Besanceney, Marketplex, Inc. was designed as a consulting firm specializing in marketing with emphasis on public relations and top quality advertising services. As founder and President, Tom capitalized on experience gained through his previous direction of several regional and national public relations programs for Wendy’s International in 33 company-owned markets. In addition, Besanceney developed a marketing and public relations campaign to promote economic development in the Quad Cities area of Illinois and Iowa, founded the Bloomington, IN Convention and Visitors Bureau and served as a consultant for downtown development in Florida, Ohio and Kentucky. As a result, our specific expertise results in direct benefits for our clients by providing cost efficient and high quality marketing and public relations services.

Over the years, Marketplex has directed public relations and marketing campaigns for Pickett Suite Hotels (now part of Doubletree) Sheraton, Ramada, Holiday Inns and Metro Hotels of Dallas, TX. In addition, Marketplex, Inc. has provided public relations, sales and marketing support to several health industry clients, including the Kroger Co., pharmacy division, Franciscan Hospital System, now Mercy Health Partners and HSR ( Health Service Review) of Middletown, OH. In addition to hotels, other tourism clients have included River Downs race track and Thrifty car rental.

Starting with our first client: a local Cincinnati icon: Graeter’s known for its superb super premium ice cream…our mission was to develop an expansion plan, one that in fact put our client “on the map.” Our familiarity with your needs and requirements has been gained through success in projects like River Centre in Covington, KY and industrial development in Piqua, OH.
