finish. Their clients are their prime concern. You never have to worry."

communications projects, and an extraordinary ability to size up issues and
respond accordingly. The firm works well with clients to achieve desired results
and meet objectives, often under time pressures."

extremely conscientious and go well beyond the expected in meeting our needs.

"Over the past few years, when we have encountered internal or external
needs for effective communication strategies, we have turned to Hellingman
Communications for advice and support. Hellingman has been very helpful in
assisting YMCA staff and volunteers to understand specific communications
issues and to develop and implement appropriate action plans. I would recommend
Hellingman Communications to any voluntary, for-profit or public organization
that wants to communicate clear and compelling messages to key audiences and
stakeholders."
Mr. Scott Haldane, Past President and CEO, YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington
"My business school background tells me that management is 90% communications.
When asked to lead the political process which created the new City of Hamilton,
I knew the communication challenge would be immense. We had many audiences,
many messages and a multitude of communication challenges. I was immensely
pleased with the support from Hellingman Communications. Our year-long relationship
resulted in the Hamilton transition process being seen as a model in the province."
Mr. Marvin Ryder, Chair, Transition Board for the New
City of Hamilton; Board Chair, Hamilton Health Sciences; and Assistant Vice-president,
McMaster University
"Hellingman Communications is an outstanding corporate citizen. Our Millennium
Hamilton-Wentworth was the most successful campaign in Canada, due in large
part to the gift of talent that Hellingman made to the Hamilton initiative.
Their work for the Hamilton Community Foundation has been first-class and
we consider them part of our team in building a strong Hamilton community."
Ms. Carolyn A. Milne, President and CEO, Hamilton Community
Foundation
"Your operation is professional, organized, and most importantly, effective.
I was especially appreciative of the timely manner in which everything was
organized. You took hold of the process and relentlessly kept it moving forward.
Although marketing is not an inexpensive venture, I feel that our dollars
were spent wisely and that we received excellent value."
Dr. David Bergen, Owner, Stone Road Dental
"Hellingman Communications handled and developed the promotional materials
and communications strategy for the launch of a new congregation of the United
Church of Canada in Springdale, Brampton. The staff did an exceptional job!
Their work was very creative, professional, and conscientious. What was produced
was suitably tailored to our identity, our mission, our budget and our context.
Above all, it was effective! I was extremely pleased with the leadership,
and skill, and talent, and team work that Hellingman brought to putting 'North
Star' on the map. I remain grateful for their part in our beginnings."
Rev. Jim Cairney, Minister, North Star - The United
Church in Springdale
"As a not-for profit organization we had to
ensure we got the very best public relations and marketing at a price we
could afford,
and that's exactly what we got from Hellingman - professional, top quality
work and friendly, helpful service. Our annual report/brochure is absolutely
a fantastic enhancement to our organization."
Linda Brown, President and CEO, SEN Community
Health Care
(St. Elizabeth Nurses)
"We were impressed not only at the professionalism of the Hellingman
staff and the quality of the resources and promotional materials produced
but also at their ability to understand who we are as an agency and project
that image of ourselves creatively to the community."
