EnviroMedia’s Valerie Davis Presented with Blazing Star Award from Women’s Chamber of Commerce of Texas

Austin Business Journal Ranks EnviroMedia Austin’s Top PR Agency

I’m so proud of my business partner, Valerie Davis, for winning a Blazing Star Award from the Women’s Chamber of Commerce of Texas. There were 12 statewide finalists for the Blazing Star Awards. Of those 12, six were named a Blazing Star. The Blazing Star honors women on the success fast track who are blazing their own unique paths to professional achievement and who support the economic advancement of women.

From the Chamber’s Web site:

Whether sounding a warning to “greenwashers” on NBC’s Today Show or spending all day in a landfill to promote recycling efforts, she passionately carries the “green” torch. Her company is the nation’s only full-service advertising and PR firm focused solely on environmental and public health issues. The company employs 50 with annual revenues of $13 million. Davis founded America Recycles Day with Vice President Al Gore as honorary chair, led brand creation for the Texas Water Development Board, and launched the first online forum for rating green ads. She led the Don’t Mess with Texas campaign to victory in America’s favorite slogan competition, beating Nike’s “Just Do It” and “Got Milk?” She participates in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and serves on the boards of the Children’s Environmental Health Institute and U.S. Business Council for Sustainable Development.

Way to go Val!

In other news, the latest edition of the Austin Business Journal revealed its rankings for the city’s top 25 public relations firms and advertising agencies, and we’re pleased to report that EnviroMedia figured prominently on both lists. We ranked #1 among Austin’s public relations firms, based on number of PR staff, and we placed 19th on the list of Austin advertising agencies, based on 2008 gross revenue. You should know we’re one of the only firms that does both.

With the opening of our West Coast office in Portland, Oregon, last year and the welcome addition of several new clients, EnviroMedia’s future remains bright. Thanks for your continued support of our company.

Sincerely,
Kevin Tuerff
