# Clients First Marketing & Communications™

> 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 their people, and managing through crisis.

## About

Clients First Marketing & Communications™ is a Texas-based agency network founded by Jeff and John, who have collectively led global marketing and communications teams for seven Global 50 and current or former Fortune 500 companies. They've also served as journalists, Washington lobbyists, agency leaders, and private equity advisors.

**Our Mission:** We increase brand value, which in turn increases enterprise value.

**What Makes Us Different:**

2. **The Network Model** - We don't carry the overhead of a traditional agency, so you're not paying for fancy offices or layers of account management.
3. **The Brand Value Accelerator Series™** - We've codified everything we've learned into proprietary playbooks that ensure consistent excellence across all 13 service areas.
