Congratulations to our client Bennett Contracting on the “Building Strong Roots” 100th anniversary community service project undertaken to improve the lives of 52 families in Albany’s South End.
A team of employees from the Capital District’s oldest and largest full-service home remodeling company designed, built and installed a garden shed and grape arbor in the Lincoln Park community garden operated by the not-for-profit organization Capital Roots.
Here’s the story of the 100th anniversary campaign in words and pictures:

Congratulations on all the publicity! Glad we could make it happen for Bennett Contracting!
And now, a word from our client, Greg Bennett Jackson, president of Bennett Contracting:
“When I hired Pauline, I did it as a chronic skeptic, but I knew I had to do something because I was way out of my comfort zone trying to put together a 100th anniversary promotion. I had ideas but didn’t know what to do with them. I interviewed a few people for the job and was immediately impressed by how organized and professional Bartel Communications was. I gave Pauline the contract, and the results have been spectacular! We were able to make a 100-year-old construction company interesting to the press and the public. I have been getting compliments on what a great job I did ever since. Of course, the real credit goes to Pauline Bartel. Best decision I ever made!”
Oh, Greg, you’ve made me blush! I appreciate your kind words about our hard work. Thank you!
