Tennessean: A.M. Burton heirs hire “powerful” Ingram Group

The Tennessean calls The Ingram Group a “powerful public relations firm” in its coverage of the “steeplejacking” of a downtown church founded by legendary Nashvillian A.M. Burton. 

Burton great-grandchildren Amy Grant and Andy Burton “hired a powerful public relations firm, The Ingram Group, and came forward in a Wall Street Journal article,” The Tennessean’s Liam Adams reports. 

The Ingram Group’s Brandon Gee is quoted in the story: 

“This year, downtown Nashville’s Central Church of Christ should be celebrating a 100-year anniversary of serving the community,” Brandon Gee, a spokesperson for Grant and [Andy] Burton, said in a statement Tuesday. “Instead, it stands as a shuttered eyesore serving outsiders who preyed on a vulnerable congregation to gain control of the property.” 

At The Ingram Group, we prefer “communications strategy” to “public relations.” Certainly, traditional public relations activities can be useful, when they serve the goal and fit the strategy. At the outset of our partnerships, we work hard to develop a comprehensive understanding of our clients’ needs and goals — then decide which tools fit the job. 

The Ingram Group is proud to share, and honored to be trusted with, the incredible story of A.M. Burton and Amy and Andy’s fight to protect and restore his legacy.
