Full Circle provides three core lines of service: Community & Public Relations, Marketing & Events, and Non-Profit Consultation/Grants. While all interrelated, these lines of business have very unique and specialized qualities that make Full Circle the firm for all of an organization’s communication needs. 

Community/Public Relations

Full Circle provides customized public and community relations plans to fit the needs of our clients. Plans are formulated based on client need, be it community buy-in, citizen education and awareness, proactive community notification, or to obtain feedback that could potentially increase the ease of project implementation. Once the purpose is established, a plan is developed utilizing some of these elements:

Communication plans (internal & external) Public Involvement/Community Outreach plans Media plans & Media training Media kits Project themes, paraphernalia, and logo design Stakeholder identifications and interviews, database development  Community meetings Focus groups Citizens’ advisory groups Fact sheets, brochures, educational materials

Meeting notices Ads & media purchasing Key message points/Speaking points Presentations Speakers bureaus Mass mailings/Mass voice messaging Community partnerships Elected official briefings Video production Websites Graphics Public service announcements (radio and video)

Over the course of each project, a Full Circle client service manager will conduct interim consultations with clients to ensure continued satisfaction with the implementation of the program and to make certain that Full Circle’s rigorous quality control standards are consistently applied. An evaluation is performed at the conclusion of every program to ensure that:

1.     The client’s requests were met.

2.     The established goals were achieved.

3.     The effort was successful, documenting both quantitative and qualitative data.

At the project’s close, all deliverables are forwarded to the client in both hardcopy and digitally.

Marketing & Events

Full Circle provides both small- and large-scale marketing initiatives. Our marketing campaigns are designed to achieve the client’s vision. This starts with an extensive interview with the client to establish the desired direction of efforts. We then utilize a combination of the following tools as needed for the effort: 

Identify goals and objectives Promotional events Brand Development: logos, tag lines, themes Strategy, positioning, & campaign development Project Schedules and timelines Web Development/Audio Visual & Radio Productions Grassroots Marketing & Street Teams

Target audience profiling & research Digital/Internet Campaigns Media Relations & Training Assessment of existing marketing objectives & restructuring Benchmark Surveys Advertising Development

After an interview, we have an understanding of the client’s personality and the company’s atmosphere. A marketing plan is developed using both customary methods in addition to some new and innovative methods, based on the tone and the vision of the client.

Full Circle also plans and fully executes all aspects of innovative promotional events. We accurately gauge your target audience and objectives, and create innovative PR events that get the visibility and media coverage your firm deserves. Full Circle produces such events as community and environmental festivals, client mixers and appreciation events, residential openings, campaign fundraisers and victory celebrations, exhibit openings, and community and river “clean-ups”.

At Full Circle, we pride ourselves in our ability to “tune in” to our clients and develop marketing campaigns that contain the essential elements to achieve increases in sales, name recognition, event turnout, and brand imaging.
