As we come to the end of another year, we like to look back on the accomplishments of the past 12 months. Communiqué PR and our clients have much to celebrate as we close out 2016. Below we have noted just a few of the reasons we and our partners will be popping a cork, or 13 (as we are wrapping up our 13th year in business), at year’s end!
Flowroute’s CEO and founder Bayan Towfiq was named to the Puget Sound Business Journal’s “40 Under 40” listing, for his entrepreneurial spirit and desire to build software that changes the way enterprises communicate.
The International Association of Broadcasting Manufacturers (IABM) presented Dell EMC with the 2016 Game Changer Award in the storage category for its Isilon CloudPools and Isilon SD Edge, solutions which help media organizations integrate cloud storage into their current workflows and easily enable new remote office productions.
Communiqué PR Account Managers Molly Strong and Beth Mayer co-presented in an undergraduate marketing class at the University of Washington on “Earned, Owned and Paid Media.”

Adding to a memorable election year, Democracy Live, the nation’s leading cloud-balloting technology firm, released LiveBallot to provide every U.S. voter with access to his/her ballot ahead of Election Day.
Spaceflight Industries continued its mission to enable timely and affordable access to space while redefining how we observe our planet in real time. We helped secure coverage around the company raising $18 million in funding and acquiring OpenWhere and announcing agreements with the federal government, Google’s Terra Bella, SpaceX and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR). Additionally, the company announced the successful launch of its BlackSky Pathfinder-1 and released the first images captured by the satellite.
We enjoyed a particular fondness and pride in working with Bank of America on a project to create Safe Places in our city.
A Place for Mom, the nation’s largest senior living referral service, released a series of reports highlighting national data on the cost of senior living, the amount of time it takes to find housing for aging loved ones, and the impact that a senior living transition has on senior and caregiver quality of life.

The Communiqué PR blog was also recognized as one of the top 100 PR blogs on the planet – earning its place as #21 on a list that includes some wonderful PR resources. We are honored!
We also are thankful to work with such an amazing group of people. During the year we took time to celebrate our team and have some fun together. We look forward to more fun with our team in 2017.
Communiqué PR wishes all of you a new year filled with optimism, opportunity and success. While none of us may be able to predict the future, one thing you can rely on is that Communiqué PR will remain dedicated to building meaningful collaborations with our clients and true to our core value of smart, focused, success-driven service in a fast-changing world.
