December 2018
From the Desk of Barb Clapp...
2018 was very exciting for both our team and clients, with amazing projects and campaigns. From Georgia to North Carolina and Illinois, we enjoyed traveling far and wide for client initiatives. We celebrated ribbon cuttings, development projects, new hires and appointments as well as many deals and transactions, community service ventures, and client business excellence. We provided marketing, public relations, event, social and traditional media plans as well as digital and web support. I'm grateful to work alongside such outstanding team members on behalf of clients with whom we've established close, long-term relationships and those with whom we are just beginning to build lasting foundations. We remain committed to delivering the highest quality work with the best results.
Now 17 years in business, the Clapp Communications team and I worked full steam ahead!! We were certified as a Women's Business Enterprise and won multiple awards. I spoke at a leadership summit and mentoring event, shared thoughts with the State of Maryland on achieving a better RFP process, wrote the foreword to a new book, and more. I've continued my volunteer service, lobbying on behalf of HSUS, surpassing fundraising goals with Signal 13 Foundation, and taking my second mission trip to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. The team shared their own time, talent and treasures with their communities of choice. We couldn't have enjoyed this success without you: clients, friends, family, and peers. Wishing everyone a wonderful 2019!
Barb
