Every business needs a strategy and every business strategy requires communication.  With decades of experience promoting communication strategies as diplomats at U.S. Embassies, Mark Dillen and Anne Chermak Dillen followed their government careers by founding Dillen Associates LLC in 2007 to apply their communication skills to the private and non-profit sectors. 

At Dillen Associates, we believe that strategic communication can change perceptions, alter behavior and create value. By enhancing your reputation, we can increase market value by building relationships with your natural networks -- investors, customers, partners, constituents and employees. We focus on giving you measurable business results through a full range of communication disciplines based on well-crafted strategy, energy and creativity.

We begin with the local environment where you want to start or expand your business or address a public affairs concern.
 
We help you build relationships with your key stakeholders that will in turn shape their beliefs and behavior.
 
Then we help develop your marketing plan to include a strategy for developing contacts with influential media, government and other sectors critical to your long-term success.
 
Working with you, we create a performance-based plan with recognizable benchmarks that will solve your communications challenges and raise your profile with the audiences you need to reach and influence.
 
If you are considering expanding into a new market, in Central, Eastern, Southern or Southeastern Europe, we have the local expertise and networks needed to be your “on the ground” adviser.
 
In the United States, Russia, Ukraine, Italy, Germany, Croatia and Southeastern Europe, turn to Dillen Associates LLC for all your strategy, planning and communications needs. Let us offer you a carefully tailored strategy that will help grow your enterprise in existing or new markets.
