Advocacy Ink

Advocacy Ink describes itself as a "full-service firm offering public relations, communications, Washington representation and political consulting to a broad range of clients."

"Advocacy Ink will get your issue the ink you need to win - by the column inch and over the airwaves," it states on its website. (Note Advocacy Ink the PR firm described on this page is not to be confused with Advocacy Ink the non-profit group which is an arm of DeMilo Production which does advocacy on child Labor, homelessness and justice issues).

Writing for Alternet Michael Ordoña referred to Advocacy Ink as a Republican public relations firm. Ina story on pro-Kerry comic books, Audrey Mullen, a partner Advocacy Ink stated that "I don't know anyone on the right who has the spare time to indulge in [comic books], but maybe this is how Democrats reach their base. We, on the other hand, have National Review."
