ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL -- (Marketwire) -- 02/12/13 -- Scranton Gillette Communications/SGC Horizon announced today the availability of its web development capabilities to clients. What began as an internal department dedicated to building new sites, and updating existing corporate and brand websites, grew into the launch of MediaPress Studios, an affiliate that combines web-seasoned leaders with rising stars in content strategy, search engine optimization (SEO) and Drupal platforms.

"We recognized a growing need among our clients to have a single resource for all their marketing needs. At SGC/SGC Horizon, we house the editors and designers who are steeped in our clients' industries, along with custom project, videography and audience-development divisions. Closing the loop by adding revenue-generating, web-development services inclusive of content strategy and SEO is a natural progression," says Ed Gillette, SGC president and CEO.

"Three years ago, we discovered Drupal and aligned our web strategy to its solid framework," adds MediaPress Studios Principal and SGC Senior Vice President of e-Media, Joel Hughes. "Our goal from the beginning has been to build fully responsive, device-independent websites for tomorrow. Our clients responded to the new look and capabilities of our brands' websites. Now we look forward to offering the same services to our clients and providing training, SEO services and content strategy to ensure that their websites remain fresh and relevant."
