Our Work
Philosophy
The world does not
need more marketing.
It needs more
communicating.
We don’t talk to
people. We talk
with them.
It’s not about
us.
It is about our
audience.
Less is
more.
Listen first.
Communications is
more than talking
and writing.
Clarity.
Clarity.
Clarity.
Consistency
builds trust.
Beta is good. So are
mistakes.
Never stop
learning. Always
share, especially
the truth.
Honesty and
transparency always
win the day.
Courageous
conversations make for
better and longer
lasting relationships.
Relationships matter.
Partnership trumps
flying solo.
More
‘and’
and less
‘or’.
Technology is a means
not an end.
Ask.
Don’t
tell or
sell.
Community is the
answer.
A world where community development, responsible energy generation and conservation are recognized as tools to build healthy and sustainable communities.
Our Vision
To help our clients
and
community build
relationships.
Our Mission
People and Ideas
Making a Difference
Sustainability
Creativity and Design
Clarity
Our Values
Helping you harness
the
power of people.
