Levick Strategic Communications Honored As 'Crisis Communications Agency of the Year' By Industry Authority, The Holmes Report

Posted on: Tuesday, 14 March 2006, 12:00 CST

WASHINGTON, March 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Levick Strategic Communications, a global leader in high-stakes communications, has been named "Crisis Communications Firm of the Year" by The Holmes Report, a leading trade publication covering the communications, marketing, and public affairs profession.

"We are thrilled and gratified to receive this award," Richard S. Levick, Esq., President and CEO, said. "Today, winning in the court of public opinion is even more important -- and certainly more urgent -- than in the past. We are very fortunate, in that our unique work for the legal industry over the last eight years has given us an exceptional head start in helping corporations and institutions build and implement communications strategies to navigate their inevitable crises and litigation."

Founded in 1998, Levick Strategic Communications grew by capitalizing on an underserved niche -- the need of law firms from across the country and around the world to raise their profile and, to engage in strategic marketing and communications. With that market as its springboard, the firm now leads high-stakes and crisis communications engagements for a wide array of litigation, financial, and public affairs clients domestically and globally.

Levick Strategic Communications is one of the five largest privately-owned communications firm in Washington, D.C. In recognizing the firm, The Holmes Report wrote that the firm's growth has come "in both litigation and marketing sectors, with many firms working with Levick on both fronts. Product liability, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry and SEC-related issues (including corporate and individual actions), were particularly active."

Mr. Levick added, "I want to thank all of my colleagues for their tireless efforts. This honor is a direct reflection on our great bench strength and remarkable teamwork."
