Midwest <strong>PR</strong> firm that deals exclusively<br />
with environmental, health<br />
and safety issues.<br />
The firm was founded in 1994<br />
and currently maintains a staff of<br />
25. Clients are primarily public<br />
utilities and major manufacturers<br />
who turn to ETC for support<br />
when they have an emerging<br />
EHS issue, or one that has<br />
already attracted public attention<br />
and concern.<br />
ETC works with industrial<br />
clients facing state/federal consent<br />
orders for environmental<br />
pollution. ETC also provides<br />
<strong>com</strong>munication assistance to<br />
clients with construction, demolition,<br />
and remediation projects<br />
that will directly affect neighboring<br />
properties. Sometimes,<br />
clients seek assistance when<br />
government action shines a new<br />
light on some aspect of their<br />
operations.<br />
Communication plans and<br />
strategies are custom-designed<br />
to fit the situation, and may<br />
include media relations, <strong>com</strong>munity<br />
outreach, public meetings<br />
and involvement, opinion surveys,<br />
ad campaigns, and other<br />
forms of employee/stakeholder<br />
<strong>com</strong>munications. Topics range<br />
from buried wastes, contaminated<br />
buildings, impacted soils, polluted<br />
streams, and contaminated<br />
groundwater, safe drinking<br />
water, and sewage collection/treatment,<br />
to plant odors,<br />
toxic emissions, and indoor air.<br />
ETC has been repeatedly recognized<br />
for its outstanding work<br />
by <strong>PR</strong>SA, IABC, the<br />
International Academy of<br />
Communications Arts and<br />
Sciences/MarComm, the<br />
International Academy of the<br />
Visual Arts, and others in national<br />
