Inc. 5000 Honorific Marks Latest Milestone for Top Crisis Communications
Firm
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Levick Strategic Communications, a
global leader in high-stakes crisis and litigation communications, has been
named by Inc. Magazine as one of the 5000 fastest growing private companies
in America.
With this achievement, Levick joins an elite group of past honorees
that includes Microsoft, Intuit, Parson Group, ePartners and Oracle.
"The Inc. 5000 gives an unrivalled portrait of young, underreported
companies across all industries doing fascinating things with cutting-edge
business models, as well as older companies that are still showing
impressive growth," said Inc. 5000 Project Manager Jim Melloan.
For Levick Strategic Communications, the Inc. 5000 ranking is a
significant benchmark as it confirms the success of a growth strategy based
on providing counsel to companies, countries, and institutions for their
most sensitive and difficult matters.
The firm has counseled C-suites and managed communications in many of
the highest-profile crises of recent years: Among many others, the spinach,
pet food, and toy recalls; the Guantanamo Bay controversy; the largest
financial institution merger; the Catholic Church scandals; and
bet-the-company litigation, including the largest civil penalty ever sought
by the Department of Justice.
"Levick's commitment to quality client service and ability to develop
inspired solutions under pressure are key reasons for the firm's success
and continued growth," said Duane Ekedahl, President of the Pet Food
Institute. "The Levick team has played a major part in working with us to
help our member companies manage serious crises and I know I can rely on
them when the need arises again."
Founded in 1998, Levick's meteoric rise as a crisis and litigation firm
reflects a bold business model, predicated from the start on recruiting the
most respected crisis counselors in the communications profession. As such,
Levick has never been a traditional public relations firm but, rather, a
closely knit team of top-level strategic counselors.
"We are thrilled to be honored as one of America's fastest growing
companies in all fields," said President and CEO Richard Levick. "Great
companies are all about great people. The biggest challenge of my career
has been to find and recruit such people -- and the Inc. 5000 listing is a
most gratifying affirmation of our success in meeting that challenge. We
have a pretty remarkable environment here, and we expect our strong growth
will only continue in the years ahead."
