LT Public Relations is now part of Merit
We’re excited to announce that LT Public Relations (LTPR) is now part of Merit.
Casey Boggs invented LTPR to combat the problem of traditional public relations no longer being effective. It’s not just about the media—it’s about the entire influencer community.
Merit gravitates towards market inventors. Casey and his team truly share the vision that organizations need to stop marketing and start market inventing. That’s where we’re a natural fit together. Bringing on LTPR complements our services and strengthens our ability to disrupt the marketing, advertising, strategy consulting, and public relations industries. This addition reinforces our presence in Portland, OR, and further enhances our ability to service our U.S. clients on the West Coast.
LTPR brings an amazing leader and team with remarkable clients, along with a unique ability to build influencer and media relationships while guiding clients through crisis. These skills are an integral part of the Market Invention process, and they are how businesses move an entire industry to a single point of view.
We are excited and grateful to have LTPR and its clients be a part of the Merit family.

Five Lessons From the Growing Artisan Economy
We hear a lot about the artisan economy. It’s a movement towards personalized, hand-made, small-scale production that has been gaining lots of momentum in the US. So much momentum, in fact, that artisans are taking a measurable chip out of mid-sized manufacturers. According to the Inter-American Development Bank, if the artisan economy were a country, it would have the fourth largest economy in the world. While larger sized businesses obviously cannot compete with some aspects of the artisan economy, they can certainly reflect on some of the principles that are propelling artisan growth and apply them to their own organizations.
