a.s.a.p.r., inc. is a full-service public relations and marketing firm located on the beautiful Eastern Shore of Maryland. Established by Robbie Tarpley Raffish in 1996, the firm has been at the forefront of public relations and corporate communications. Proving that the "virtual agency" concept is a solid business approach, a.s.a.p.r.'s campaigns and programs have rivaled those of much larger agencies.

The a.s.a.p.r. team is comprised of both fulltime staff and independent contractors who bring specific expertise and talents to our clients. This approach greatly benefits our clients, as we custom build each team with members whose skills match our clients' goals. Our mission is to provide high-quality executions that meet our clients' marketing and public relations objectives," she added.

The firm works with a wide variety of clients, and during the last year alone, has secured placements on behalf of clients in most major national, regional and local newspapers, magazines, television and radio, including CNN, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, The New York Times, Associated Press, Regis & Kelly and The Washington Post.
