Chairman STRATEGIC, Public Relations Consultancy
DANVILLE, Calif.—Sept. 29, 2004 - Trainer Communications, a leading provider of strategic communications and public relations services for emerging high-technology companies and start-up initiatives, announced today that the East Bay Business Times has named Trainer the No.1 communications company in the East Bay. Trainer also ranked as the seventh largest privately held communications firm in the greater Bay Area according to the San Francisco Business Times. Additionally, the East Bay Business Times acknowledged Trainer as one of the top 50 fastest-growing private companies in the Greater East Bay region. Based on these findings, the newspaper featured Trainer Communications in two different editions of the East Bay Business Times this summer and honored the firm at a gala awards reception at the Blackhawk Museum in Danville, California, in July.
Trainer Communications achieved the No. 1 public relations firm ranking in the East Bay and the No. 7 ranking in the greater Bay Area based on the firm’s total revenues, which grew by more than 11 percent for the past two consecutive years and have grown every year since the firm’s founding in 1995. Trainer continues to grow at a rapid pace, having added eight new clients over the past 90 days.
“I am thrilled to be working with Trainer Communications again. When I think of Trainer, the first thing that comes to mind is trust — trust that they’ll get the job done without hand-holding or headaches. Trainer is an extension of my marketing team that’s so integrated into what we do and where we’re going, it’s as if we’re sharing the same office,” said Russ Henry, senior vice president of marketing for Velosel. “Trainer knows the nuances of a start-up like no other communications firm in Silicon Valley, and it has the track record to validate such prowess.”
“While we are honored to be recognized again for our economic success, we are most proud of our proven track record and strong relationships with our clients, which paves the way for winning new business,” said Susan Trainer, president of Trainer Communications. “We set the bar high in all that we do, including our company growth. With eight new clients and more in the pipeline, we are on pace to achieve another record growth year.”
