Angela Bendorf Jamison, Communicopia, Inc. 
Helping You Create Visibility
in the Marketplace
Every business yearns for visibility in
the marketplace, the ability to stand out, to get noticed.
How is what
you offer different or unique? How can you pinpoint
and then communicate those differences to your customers
and others who influence the purchase of your services
and products? Angela B. Jamison’s company helps
business answer those questions and more.
Communicopia was founded in 1998 by Angela Bendorf
Jamison, a former newspaper reporter, editor, public
relations agency account supervisor and corporate communications
manager. As principal of Communicopia, Angela plans,
manages and implements work for clients, assuring high-quality
service and an understanding of the business.
Why I decided to go into business for myself:
After working as a newspaper editor, public relations
agency professional and corporate communications manager,
I wanted to take that experience and do something on
my own. I’m not sure I would have quit my job
and risked starting a company. But eventually the decision
was made for me as I was part of a corporate downsizing
with the company I worked for in RTP. With a severance
package and encouragement from clients who wanted to
use my services, I started Communicopia in November
1998 as a home-based business. As I grew and hired
employees, I moved to offices in mid-town Raleigh in
2002 (then called North Hills) and in June 2006 moved
to historic downtown Wake Forest.
Having my own business, I’m able to work hard,
yet still be a mom. I took Fridays off up until my
daughter started kindergarten. Now, I take six-year-old
Camryn to school every morning and enjoy being involved
in her activities. I worked hard early in my career
so now I can take the time to also be a wife and mom.
The greatest reward of having my own business is being
able to structure my time around serving clients and
being with my family.
Here’s what we can do for you:
Communicopia helps you identify and communicate how
your company, products or services differ from the
competition in a way that measurably improves profitability
and success.
Whether it’s implementing a public relations
campaign, developing key messages, writing an article,
creating an e-newsletter or facilitating a strategic
planning session, Communicopia delivers bountiful ideas
that yield success.
As a marketing communications firm with a focus on
public relations, Communicopia helps maximize opportunities
through:
- Promotion & publicity

- Writing
- Web site content
- Brochures and printed materials

Advice to new entrepreneurs or women looking
to expand:
Be focused. Know what you want and don’t be
afraid that having a successful business means you
won’t have a successful home life. You can balance
work and family, but also don’t forget to take
time for yourself every now and then.
