Environics Communications Expands To Washington DC.

Environics Communications, Inc., a full-service and multicultural PR firm, announced its continued U.S. expansion with the opening of a new office in Washington, D.C.

Located at 1050 Connecticut Ave., the office opened this week to serve the Washington/Baltimore market and is headed by Senior Vice President and General Manager, Dave Groobert. Groobert was most recently a senior managing director in the Washington office of Hill & Knowlton (H&K), where he ran the firm’s marketing communications practice.

Over the past five years, Environics has achieved a 521 percent revenue growth rate. The firm’s North American client roster includes companies such as Xerox, Bayer, Johnson & Johnson, Palm, Sabre, Edward Jones, Glaxo SmithKline, Guinness and Panasonic.

Environics has several client relationships based in the Washington/Baltimore market, including the Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies, BITS (the banking consortium working toward e-commerce initiatives), Sylvan Learning Centers, the National SAFE KIDS campaign and the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.

“Washington is a logical next step as we expand to serve our clients,” said founder and President Bruce MacLellan. “We have local relationships and several clients have requested our presence in D.C. Additionally, Dave Groobert has the local expertise and diverse national client experience to build our new office and contribute to Environics’ established success in North America. Our firm comprises an incredibly talented group of people who are focused one hundred percent on serving clients and getting results – Dave is one of us, and we know clients will respond favorably.”
