Here, strategy, political savvy and creativity\u00a0rule the day<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

The Clifford Group has leveraged our own community and political resources, as well as those of RPS Klotz Associates, to\u00a0raise visibility of the firm. Through strategic, deliberate and consistent efforts, we’ve\u00a0created opportunities for the group’s\u00a0top professionals\u00a0to strengthen relationships with existing clients, potential clients and public officials. We’ve also helped bring\u00a0industry recognition to\u00a0RPS Klotz Associates\u00a0by preparing winning project\u00a0submittals for\u00a0engineering competitions. Who doesn’t like that kind of spotlight?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For the global architecture and design\u00a0firm HOK, the Clifford Group has established connections and initiated\u00a0strategic relationships to raise the visibility of the organization. We’ve taken\u00a0the effort even further through use of\u00a0targeted press releases, special events, and development and implementation of a social media marketing strategy.<\/p>\n

\"United\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Clifford Group has been working with Houston’s hometown airline, United, for several years to better position the carrier\u00a0within the region. This effort has included building and further cultivating relationships with local elected officials and community and civic groups.<\/p>\n

The Clifford Group has become a go-to resource for the Port of Houston Authority\u2019s public affairs department. We’ve spearheaded dozens of projects, including coordination of annual legislative tours and receptions at state and national levels; organization of three major national conferences; coordination of the grand opening of the Bayport Terminal; coordination of the 30th anniversary of the Barbours Cut Container Terminal; and announcement of the Port\u2019s designation as a green coffee port by the New York Board of Trade.<\/p>\n

We also developed a brochure and e-newsletter to generate\u00a0public awareness of the Beneficial Uses Group\u2014a partnership of eight local, state and federal agencies (including the Port) collectively responsible for the creation of wetlands from dredged material in and around the Houston Ship Channel. It’s\u00a0the largest wetland project of its kind in the nation, and provides a natural environment for birds, fish and other critters to flourish.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Clifford Group has worked with METRO for years, either directly or with other contracted consulting service providers.<\/p>\n

We managed the public involvement portion of METRO Solutions’ North-Hardy Planning Studies, ultimately resulting in voter approval of a comprehensive transit plan. Our role encompassed identification of outreach targets, involvement of key organizations, coordination of stakeholder meetings, and development of all project communications, including public notices, newsletters, a website and other tools. Following successful completion of the initial contract, we were retained to provide similar services for\u00a0the project\u2019s second phase, leading to preparation of a draft environmental impact statement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since then, METRO has engaged us to develop connections with business leaders, create strategies for community engagement, and consult on special projects.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"AmericanTrafficSolutions\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

The Clifford Group worked with American Traffic Solutions to present the company’s position on the red light camera issue to local elected officials. The effort included strategic messaging and a coordinated media campaign.<\/p>\n

\"Yellow<\/p>\n

When new transportation companies incorporating\u00a0unregulated business models began entering the Houston market, the Clifford Group worked successfully\u00a0with Yellow Cab, as well as\u00a0the taxi and limo industry, to\u00a0coordinate efforts at City Hall for\u00a0institution of fair and uniform regulations for\u00a0all<\/em> vehicles for hire. In addition to shepherding this process, the Clifford Group managed ongoing marketing efforts for Yellow Cab, and has been retained to facilitate\u00a0a rebranding effort for the organization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
