Company Culture
LLY Communications is passionate about using our combined skills to help community based non-profits and service-based small businesses develop proactive communications strategies. We are attentive to our clients’ unique identity, mission and vision, and specific needs. We believe clear communication is the foundation of all beneficial relationships; it is a necessity within the organization, with our clients, and in the work we produce for our clients.
We believe in working effectively, which means we will never do anything because it’s always been done a certain way. We make data-driven decisions and are ready to pivot to meet our clients’ needs or achieve the desired outcome.
We value dismantling systems that are harmful to marginalized groups of people, nationally, in our community, and in the workplace.
We value quality over quantity. We deliver custom work to our clients, serving their specific needs, in their unique voice, to further their distinct mission. We work together to produce our best work. We are willing to learn, adapt, grow, and be challenged in order to continue delivering quality, custom work to meet our clients’ needs. We value creative solutions, focusing on how we can move forward. We work to maximize resources to meet goals for our clients
