National Survey Again Rates Trainer Communications Among Best Public Relations Agencies to Work For

Susan Trainer, President of Trainer Communications, receives the 2009 ‘Best Agency to Work For’ SABRE award from Paul Holmes in New York City.

Trainer Communications, the premier provider of integrated marketing and high tech public relations services that create global market leaders, today announced its selection as the “Best Boutique PR Agency to Work For” in the annual national survey conducted by The Holmes Report, a top PR industry publication. Commemorating the honor, which Trainer also earned in 2004, Trainer received the gold SABRE award on stage before several hundred gathered at the annual SABRE Awards gala dinner in New York City on May 12.

This annual award recognizes public relations agencies that realize great people make a great agency, and create an atmosphere to attract and retain top talent. More than 5,000 public relations professionals from more than 100 agencies participated in the survey, evaluating their agencies on criteria such as empowerment, culture and professional development. The “Best Boutique Agency to Work For” award is one of five awarded by The Holmes Report, which employs a unique methodology that weighs the responses based on agency size. The other awards are for the Best Small Agency, Best Midsize Agency, Best Large Agency, and the overall Best Agency to Work For.

While many factors were considered in the selection of Trainer in this national survey, the most telling came from the employees themselves. One Trainer employee hails, “The entrepreneurial spirit that is encouraged and supported from the moment you walk in the door. Everyone at Trainer has a voice and is encouraged to speak that voice to anyone at the agency from the CEO on down. We refuse to stand pat and are always pushing ourselves to innovate, to think differently, and to do whatever it takes to help our clients achieve their business objectives.”

“Once again, we are thrilled and honored to be recognized as one of the best public relations agencies to work for in the country,” said Susan Trainer, president of Trainer Communications. “While we regularly receive accolades from our clients for the top-notch service we provide, it is personally meaningful that the Trainer team can flourish in the working environment we have created together. We take great pride in our unique culture that begins with matching the best talent to the right job and encouraging everyone to be creative, think differently, and together as a team, achieve greatness.”
