Culture
Access Communications was established by a group of individuals who saw an unfilled niche in the marketplace for bringing branded-marketing philosophy to the art of public relations. Access achieves this through a three-tiered process: setting a strategic foundation, ensuring flawless execution and conducting ongoing program evaluations. The agency’s staff has extensive consumer brand experience, as well as general corporate marketing expertise, encompassing everything from national introductions and promotions to crisis communications, employee relations and partner outreach. Access’ staff is driven to develop and deliver effective, meaningful messages that directly reach each client’s target audiences.
We are high touch, high impact. Starting with our staff, high touch means a core competitive advantage: we hire passionate people – and then we keep them, for a long time. The average tenure is five years for all staff, and eight years for senior executives. A recent staff survey found that 93% of Access employees would recommend Access as a place to work. A majority of our staff strongly believe that the company’s core value of teamwork, both internally and in partnership with our clients, contributes highly to the success of the agency. This high touch philosophy is also applied to our clients, where we work with them as an integrated team, working together to achieve not only communications objectives, but also meaningful business impact. We are committed to measuring the success of our efforts by more than impressions and clip counts, and instead work with our clients to identify business based metrics so that we can work towards business results.
