We are experienced in successfully navigating difficult, complex issues that may have a major impact on reputation, revenues, fundraising, and other key performance metrics.

Our special event capabilities – from press conferences to media receptions to unique and creative theme-oriented events – reinforce our clients’ key messaging and brand value and capture media and public awareness.

Our Approach – Strong Stories and Strong Relationships

Clients come to us because they want to solve problems. They want to increase awareness and understanding for who they are and what they do. They want to earn and retain consumer loyalty. They want their stories told.

We begin by gaining a deep understanding of our clients’ businesses and objectives – where they’ve been and where they want to go. We view the relationship as a partnership – looking out for your interests and opportunities.

We go above and beyond, looking for the right avenues, unique angles, new approaches and opportunities to tell and extend our clients’ stories and shine the spotlight on issues that are important and resonate to their target audiences.

Throughout our more than 30 years of working with the media, we take pride in building strong relationships with journalists and understanding their needs.

Your Reputation is Our Reputation

We have built a trusted reputation that our clients can count on – for accessibility, attention to detail, accuracy, and follow-through.

Jean Dalmath, President

Amanda Antinore, Vice President

Jean has extensive executive experience in all facets of marketing communications, digital media, advertising, public relations, reputation management and brand strategy.

She co-founded Dalmath Associates in 1996 with her husband Gabe Dalmath, 30-year news anchor for WHEC TV in Rochester NY. Gabe passed away in 2006.

Prior to founding Dalmath Associates, Jean’s corporate executive experience included more than 13 years in healthcare senior management. She was VP for Public Affairs for The Genesee Hospital in Rochester, NY, where she served for 11 years, and was responsible for marketing, communications, brand management, and several operational departments. She developed data-driven marketing plans and audience market research, including one of the first hospital patient surveys in the nation in concert with Harris Interactive. She oversaw the development and tracking of marketing dashboards and performance targets and directed all PR functions, including serving on the emergency preparedness team. She also initially led all development/fundraising activities for the hospital and later helped establish the Genesee Hospital Foundation.

Jean was a key member of the senior management team heading the merger of Rochester General and Genesee and the formation of the Greater Rochester Health System (GRHS), GRIPA, and the Greater Rochester Health Plan with Excellus BCBS. She went on to lead corporate communications for the system, which became ViaHealth and is now Rochester Regional Health (RRH).  She was later tapped to serve as interim VP of Marketing for RRH, a role she served for two years while still overseeing Dalmath Associates. After that, her firm, Dalmath Associates, provided marketing and communication services to RRH and the Foundation for more than a decade.

Prior to her tenure in healthcare, Jean was Director of Communications for Sarah Coventry, the world's largest jewelry company. She directed corporate communications for the company’s worldwide operations, including national TV and print advertising, publications, and public relations. She managed the work of multiple national PR and ad agencies and campaigns. She directed national media relations, including press parties and celebrity endorsements. She also managed contract negotiations for national endorsements and sponsorship activation, including an LPGA Tournament, Miss USA, and Miss Universe pageants. 

Jean has served on numerous boards and committees for many professional and community organizations and was a Trustee of Allendale Columbia School.
