LOS GATOS, Calif., Aug. 17 // -- Sterling Communications, Inc. (http://sterlingpr.com), an independent, full-service, high-tech public relations agency, today announced that it has been named to PRSourceCode's Top Tech Communicators list for 2009. This honor marks the second time in three years for Sterling.

"Surveyed journalists told us that cultivating relationships is a leading factor separating the best from the rest, a characteristic that Sterling Communications exemplifies," said Cole Smith, PRSourceCode's national sales director. "The Top Tech Communicator awards showcase PR agencies and professionals who are at the forefront of effective media relations. We congratulate Sterling on having built such strong working relationships with so many leading journalists."

The survey honors the top five agencies in three categories - large, mid-sized and small - based on total number of employees. Results were based on responses from more than 500 leading information technology and business journalists and bloggers. The survey asked this community to recognize agencies that are responsive, proactive and thorough in their work.

"Investing time in people and cultivating strong working relationships has been the keystone of our agency's success over the last two decades, and we take enormous pride in our ability to effectively connect the unique stories of each client to the topics journalists and bloggers - and their audiences - value," said Marianne O'Connor, Sterling's president and CEO. "It's extremely gratifying that Sterling has been recognized by the media community for our fine work. This award is also a testament to our philosophy that building credibility, not hype, is the best way to represent clients."
