ABOUT
We believe small business are the backbone of New York. Gather Communications was founded to address the growing demand for specialized communication services among small businesses. We combine expertise in social and digital media, graphic design, public relations, and marketing to deliver integrated solutions.
Our team doesn't believe in cookie cutter marketing approaches. At Gather, we’re big on really getting to know our clients—what makes you special, the community vibe you’ve built, and the unique experience you offer. From there, we create marketing strategies that capture that essence and connect with your audience in a way that feels authentic and engaging.
Our team knows the Capital District like the back of our hands. It's where we were born and raised, and it's an area we want to see thrive. Let us help bring your business to the next level.



businesses are built on community.
we envision a community where small businesses can thrive.
Gather Communications was born out of a deep passion for helping small businesses and nonprofits share their stories with the world. After spending years in both the trucking industry and the membership association space, founder Steve Bobarakis recognized a recurring need—great organizations doing meaningful work were struggling to find the time, resources, or strategy to effectively communicate their value.
Steve believed that every business, no matter how small, deserved access to creative, thoughtful marketing support that felt personal and purposeful. So, in 2023, he took a leap, leaving his full-time job to start Gather Communications and dedicate himself fully to building something that could make a difference.
At its heart, Gather is about connection—connecting businesses to their communities, connecting stories to the people who need to hear them, and connecting strategy with creativity to move missions forward. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all marketing. Instead, we focus on building relationships, understanding each client’s unique needs, and offering honest, hands-on support that meets them where they are. Whether it’s a bakery, a nonprofit, or a local service provider, our work is rooted in the belief that strong, genuine storytelling can build trust, inspire action, and strengthen communities.
