Client Results

We serve clients in the for-profit, non-profit and governmental sectors.  More than anything else, our results speak volumes about what we can do for you.  Examples of recent engagements follow:

For WesGold, LLC, we prepared and executed the development’s marketing plan, including organizing one of the most successful groundbreakings in recent history.  We successfully guided the development through construction, employment and contract outreach to its grand opening.

For Please Touch Museum, we prepared and are conducting a Strategic Community Relations Program that is making significant progress in establishing the Museum as an ideal institutional neighbor. Our work in this regard includes strengthening the capacity of community organizations in the area, including the Parkside Association, East Parkside Residents Association, the East Parkside Community Revitalization Corporation and the Parkside Historic District Coalition.  We also conducted EOP outreach for the project, resulting in the museum having the luxury of selecting from three minority/majority joint ventures.    

For Synterra, Ltd we provide Business and Community Relations as a part of the Program Management Team for the Market Street Elevated Reconstruction Project.  In this regard, we are the “front line,” representing SEPTA in the construction zone, addressing the needs of businesses and residents.  Our scope of services includes providing up to date construction information to business owners, organizing round table breakfasts, providing organizational development assistance to business associations, organizing workshops and seminars to improve business operations, working with government officials to secure millions of dollars in additional funding, working with the press to accurately portray the efforts to assist businesses for the Market Street Elevated Reconstruction Project, providing technical assistance, giving presentations at community meetings and serving as part of the crisis management team. 

For Systra, Inc., we provided community relations services as a part of the 52nd Street Study team, working with stakeholders in the area that encompassed a significant part of the project area.  In this regard, we organized, publicized and facilitated several community meetings to gain input on the study.  As a part of this work, we developed a marketing plan for each meeting, dealt with difficult individuals/organizations and maintained a project hot line and e-mail address. 

For Nielsen Media Corporation, we served as a part of their public and community relations program, responsible for developing support for their Successful People Meter Introduction from leaders in West Philadelphia.        

For AchieveAbility and The Partnership CDC, we organized a Neighborhood Strategic Planning Process for the Haddington and Cobbs Creek Communities that has a substantial community and public relations component.  In this engagement, we successfully designed an extensive community involvement program, organized and promoted a number of major meetings, developed a community based distribution system and dealt with significant inter-organizational politics and pent-up community distrust, while empowering the community and developing a plan that led to the awarding of the Neighborhood Development Grant that was close to $ 700,000.

For Brandywine Realty Trust, we developed and help execute an outreach and community relations plan for West Philadelphia in conjunction with the Cira Centre Project. The scope of this work includes the selection of projects through which Brandywine can contribute its substantial development and business prowess to non-profit works.  Importantly, our firm was called to design this plan in a way that would provide a competitive advantage as Brandywine seeks to focus intently on Philadelphia in the future.  Also included in this engagement is the design of an outreach component to assist them in meeting their labor and contractual goals for the $ 200mm project that the Cira Centre represents.
