We will be good stewards of your trust and reputation.

We’re here because we love the work, and can set a fair price for it. Many of our services are available at $90 to $110/hour. You get senior agency talent, great efficiency, years of experience, and the resourcefulness, discipline and work ethic to exceed your communications needs.

Our core strength is public relations expertise, media relations and copywriting that will win the interest of professional targets and journalists alike. Energetic media relations is the cornerstone of our broad PR offering. Common Ground’s network of writers, designers, art directors, illustrators, printing professionals, administrative support and data entry specialists may also be an asset to you on a program, part-time, or project-by-project basis.
