TORONTO, Nov. 3 /CNW/ -- Environics Communications, a full-service North American public relations agency, is celebrating its 15th year with a Coldplay concert, company retreat to Fort Lauderdale, FL, and record revenue for the 2009 fiscal year.

Since opening its doors in 1994, Environics Communications has been a company of firsts - such as expanding into the United States, launching new companies that broaden services, unrivalled workplace benefits, and carbon neutral green practices.

"We've always aimed to set industry standards for exceptional client work, recognition of team members, and commitment to our community. Focusing on these priorities has served our business well," says Bruce MacLellan, President. "We celebrate this anniversary with our communications companies achieving 15 consecutive years of revenue growth to reach $21 million annually in 2009 - proof our approach resonates with the market."

Growing with Clients

Environics Communications is continually diversifying its services and expanding its family of companies to support clients and help them grow their businesses. In 1995, the company was the first Canadian-owned public relations agency to open a U.S. office. Today, the U.S. operations provide services to leading American organizations and contribute approximately 20 per cent to overall company revenue.

Environics Communications has grown to include:

-  Sequentia Environics (2008) - investment and partnership with this
company to enhance digital services, such as social media and online
communities
-  Ignite Excellence (2003) - co-founded this training and development
company specializing in influential verbal and kinetic communications
-  Free For All Marketing (1999) - founded this sampling and event
marketing agency to deliver experiential marketing

The company also features the long-standing relationship with Environics Research Group.

"A research-driven strategy and commitment to measurement continues as a fundamental part of our philosophy and across all services," said MacLellan. "Our team of exceptional professionals offers clients the experience and perspective of a large agency, with the agility and nimbleness of a smaller boutique."

This business approach has attracted a solid roster of Canadian and U.S. based clients including: Nestlé Canada, Workopolis, eBay Canada, The Home Depot, GlaxoSmithKline, Biotechnology Industry Organization, Queen's School of Business, MasterCard Canada, WWF and SkyTerra, just to name a few.

"We are grateful to our fantastic clients for the partnerships we have built over 15 years.
