Founder Anthony Tilghman established A.T.E. (Anthony Tilghman Enterprises) after spending 8 years working for Metro Media. Fresh out of high school, Anthony wanted to use his personable skills to not only assist other developing entrepreneurs—much like he had hoped to become in the future—but also, to use his knack for marketing and advertising. Luckily, he landed a position at Metro Media in Washington, D.C.
While working for Metro Media, Anthony had proven himself to be indispensable and thus, became a well-known figure within the DMV (DC/MD/VA) area for his PR skills. Anthony worked so diligently and earnestly to develop partnerships, sponsorships, and client relationships while working for Metro Media, that both his name and Metro Media became synonymous in the minds of everyone. Anthony often credits Metro Media for not only presenting him with the opportunity to enter such an alluring and competitive industry, but also for allowing him to better hone his Marketing & Photography skills.
However, Anthony did not just witness the struggles of talents, but also entrepreneurs. This is why Anthony wanted to create a firm where he could provide both specialized and client-centered services. Working for Metro Media, Anthony learned that in order for a client to become successful, all elements of their PR décor must be in sync and top-notch. This is why A.T.E. offers design and photography, as well as web design and graphics, in addition to the more traditional Photography & Marketing services.
Like many Markering firms that claim to specialize in results, A.T.E. is successful and yields results for its clients because it takes a personal approach. Anthony personalizes every account through envisioning himself being in his clients’ shoes; he knows what it means to work hard and to desire a better life for oneself, one’s family and business, and the community. This is why Anthony ensures his presence throughout every step with his clients, and also the main reason why his clients continually return. Glynn Jackson, founder of the Golden Scissors Awards and LA Pink, says: “Anthony Tilghman is a FABOLOUS guy, who works hard and gets the job done, and does whatever it takes.” Dr. James A. Dula, President and CEO of the Prince George’s Chamber Of Commerce, says: “Anthony Tilghman will be successful because of his determination and goal to succeed.“
Through Anthony’s determination and diligence, his clients have been featured in several major publications such as: Essence Magazine, the Washington Post, and the Philadelphia Examiner. His clients have had TV interviews with Fox 5 and TV One, among numerous other media TV outlets.
But why has Anthony been successful in forming such lucrative and dynamic relations on behalf of his clients? Well, Anthony will say his success stems from persistence, thoughtfulness and concern for his client, and most importantly, patience. Often describing his business tactics as being characteristics of a cheetah, Anthony says: “I describe myself as being a cheetah because even though their pace is fast, they take their time to get that kill. So, in other words, my knowledge — my experience—are things that I had to first acquire, in order to hit the market. I wanted to make sure that once I established A.T.E., that I entered the field with longevity, energy, and force. Like a cheetah, you can’t just rush; you have to first observe, and get a feel for what you’re up against.”
