Tea Silvestre’s Summary

We create sustainable, positive change for our clients by providing them with the strategic tools necessary to plan and implement communications and sustainability programs that improve the bottom line while improving our world. Our customers are typically for profit enterprises or nonprofit organizations that provide community-enhancing services and products. And we work with our clients collaboratively. This means, we’ll provide you with the expertise you want and work with you to create the positive changes you’re looking for in your bottom line.

Our tongue-in-cheek philosophy is that marketing should be “used for good instead of evil.” In other words, we won’t advocate methods (like fear or guilt) that generate negative emotions in your potential clients in order to get them to act. Ours is the positive path—and it’s a path of proven success!

We also believe in giving back and in setting an example of giving. To that end, we donate a minimum of 10% of all revenues back into the community.
