Since day one, the goal of Environics Communications has been to create a positive work atmosphere and a culture of learning. Excellence, professionalism and business savvy can be merged with spirit, fun and affability. We've done it! Our style can be described as "intelligently aggressive." We combine assertiveness and productivity with common sense and strategic thinking.

A great public relations agency has to have great people, and the people are what make Environics Communications great.

We carefully search for communications professionals with the right balance of intelligence, assertiveness, common sense, creativity, writing ability, and, perhaps most importantly, spirit.

We find and retain great people. In part because our retention of personnel is over 90-percent annually, we also have an impressive client retention rate.

Environics Communications knows that continuity in personnel results in continuity of clientele. Those who work with Environics stay with Environics.

"Environics is straight with its clients. We tell them honestly what they can expect from our work, and consultants are encouraged to be direct in telling clients what we believe is in their best interest."

"Because everyone at ECI respects a diversity of backgrounds and skills, clients have access to an unusual level of expertise."

"Intelligence. We always develop the right strategies and execute the right tactics to get the best results."

"The culture. The small turnover here and the team atmosphere ensure clients they're getting a dedicated and enthusiastic team of people on their account."

"The people -- fun, creative, decent, no prima donnas."

"Leadership. We have strong leaders who have the confidence to allow others to lead."

"We're not spending half our energy on internal matters, such as office politics or overwhelming administrative burdens."

"I know that when I speak, I will be heard. Senior management listens to each individual's concerns and cares about employees on a personal level. We are a family."

"No one says, 'We can't do that.' We come up with innovative ideas to serve our clients better."
