Program elements that we can create include:

• The Notice: Our communications experts at GCG work with counsel to draft language and graphically design notice that is easily understood by class members and compels necessary action. We work closely with counsel in the very early stages to help ensure that the notice will be read and understood.
  
  
• Direct Mail: We provide printing, fulfillment and mailing of the full notice. We can merge different mailing lists, print lists, and work with the Post Office to get the best available rates. We also have quality assurance systems in place to ensure a mailing that meets the highest standards.
  
  
• Print Advertisement: Our graphic artists have years of experience in designing ads for newspapers, magazines, newsletters and other print publications. We work with counsel on the most appropriate ad size, positioning, placement and graphic layout. We pioneered the use of the "display" (or short) notice, which enables class members to self-identify and seek further information.
  
  
• Posters and Other Graphic Materials: GCG Communications creates and distributes on a targeted basis place-based media, such as posters in local community centers, and elsewhere. We also create "deskboards" that might be placed, for example, in physician waiting rooms or on pharmacy counters.
  
  
• Television Advertisement: For those notice programs that require television advertising, GCG Communications writes script, recruits talent, shoots footage and creates the television spot from start to finish. We also place the ads in a cost-efficient way where they will be viewed by class members.
  
  
• Radio Advertisement: When it's radio that the program calls for, we can handle the creative aspects from script to recording and placement.
  
  
• Press Materials and Media Outreach: With experienced writers and public relations professionals on staff, we create any media materials you will need. We also manage the distribution of the press release and conduct media follow-up. When appropriate, we arrange press conferences or press briefings.
  
  
• Web Site Design and Maintenance: Web sites have become standard for notice programs. Quickly, we design and display a Web site that provides a key information resource for class members.
  
  
• Toll-Free Telephone Line and Operators: GCG Communications has an infrastructure in place that allows us to set up a toll-free telephone line and a trained team of operators almost immediately. And our quality control system ensures the highest quality service.
  
  
• Translations: With extensive experience in international notice programs, we provide translations of the notice, ads, press materials, etc. in whatever language is necessary.
