“We couldn’t hope for better results than we have gotten working with Landis Communications Inc. over the past several years.  Their strategic approach to public relations yields media placements that have been consistently stellar throughout the state and nationwide.  They have also helped us create an effective new program, ‘The State of Our State Parks Report Card,’ which surveys California residents about state parks and generates media interest statewide—and beyond—every year.  This campagn also helps us gain support for our Advocacy Day efforts in Sacramento.  In addition, they’ve helped us establish our statewide Earth Day program as the Foundation’s single biggest volunteer event in markets throughout the state, with media sponsors and coverage in LA, San Diego, the Bay Area, Fresno, Sacramento and beyond.  Most importantly, LCI provides us with sage strategic counsel and advice.  That helps us continue to successfully position our organization’s messages effectively to our constituents through an ever-changing media and governmental landscape.”
