ATLANTA, Aug. 27, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marsh Communications LLC, a financial services communications and investor relations firm, announced that it has begun new communications partnerships with Newnan Coweta Bancshares Inc., the holding company of Neighborhood Community Bank in Newnan, Ga., and Cherokee Banking Company, the holding company of Cherokee Bank, headquartered in Canton, Ga.
Marsh Communications will provide investor and public relations counsel and communications services to both institutions.
"We look forward to building long-lasting relationships with Neighborhood Community Bank and Cherokee Bank, as we assist them in meeting all of their communications needs," said John Marsh, president of Marsh Communications LLC.
"In this environment, it is critical that banks communicate well with their stakeholders -- their shareholders, customers, employees and the communities they serve," Marsh continued. "With frequent media stories about current and potential bank failures, anxious depositors and suffering shareholders, it is vitally important that stable banks reassure constituents of their long-term safety and soundness. Allowing the market to frame the story for them is a mistake that too many banks are making right now."
