BACKGROUND:
Furey and Associates, a media marketing company representing a number of comple-
mentary,high quality publications in the travel and industrial development categories,
was founded by James Furey, president, in 1973.



Mr. Furey is a highly regarded expert in marketing the Caribbean region, in both tourism
and industrial development. His extensive knowledge of the island and mainland coun-
tries of the Caribbean Basin has been developed over twenty-five years of working with
both govenmient and private sector leaders in these two fields.


From a first job on a small New Jersey newspaper, Jim Furey moved to covering real estate
for the now-defunct Herald Tribune. In 1963 he joined the New York Times, rising
by 1967 to Associate Director for Western Hemisphere Promotions, responsible for coor-
dinating and selling all Caribbean travel advertising, including nearly 30 special supple-
ments.



Furey and Associates’ philosophy is to provide credibility and respectability for publica-
tions represented by the firm. The goal is to establish long-term relationships with a lim-
ited number of publications so that each can be given personal service.


Established in 1973, Furey and Associates carefully analyzes each publication it repre-
sents to insure compatibility and potentiality for advertising from the territory. Today 
these include:
The Star-Ledger, New Jersey’s Leading Newspaper
Agente De Viajes Al Dia, Latin America
