ABOUT US

Clients First Marketing & Communications™ is a Texas-based agency network that enables clients to build brand and enterprise value by driving reputation, accelerating growth, engaging people and managing crisis.

John and Jeff have known one another since the day John started at EDS (Electronic Data Systems), a $22 billion IT services company, one day after Jeff’s first day with the company. The two worked closely in the nearly three years of their partnership at EDS, with Jeff leading corporate/financial communications and John leading business/industry/major account communications, as part of the company’s Global Communications leadership team.

They have maintained a close relationship ever since, and they worked together again in later years when John led global communications for Unisys and Jeff led the account team for Hill & Knowlton Strategies, Unisys’ PR firm.

TEXAS AND BEYOND

Neither Jeff nor John are native Texans. But as the song says, they got here as fast as they could.

The economic miracle that is Texas is very real. If it were its own country (which some say it essentially is), Texas would be the eighth-largest economy in the world. The Lone Star State is now #1 in Fortune 500 corporate headquarters. If you build it, they will indeed come: Texas led the U.S. in population growth over the past 20 years, and by 2045 it is projected to be the nation’s most populous state.

What does this all mean for Clients First and its clients? If you are already headquartered in or near Dallas, we are right down the street from you – thus making working together that much easier. If you are looking to join the rush and move your headquarters here, we can help you build your local presence because we know the landscape – we have served, and continue to serve, with organizations ranging from local chambers to local schools to local civic groups. Not looking to move here, but just interested in doing more business here? We can help you with that as well – we can build and execute local-market campaigns to accelerate your business in any of the state’s massive local markets.

We’re in the center of it all. We are equidistant from both coasts – meaning easy travel back and forth as needed. We are also surrounded by Dallas’ and Texas’ young, skilled and diverse labor force that is more than 15 million strong – and both growing and strengthening all the time thanks to the state’s ecosystem of world-class universities.

Don’t get us wrong. We serve clients no matter where they are located. Our network is filled with experts from all over the U.S. and across the world. Chances are we are in your neighborhood.

Let us show you why working with Clients First will not only be a good call – but your best call.
