APCO – The Client's Company

For our clients, this means building a relationship based on mutual trust and respect, defining what success means to them, and developing a strategy to achieve that success. Our clients' goals become ours – allowing them to succeed in ways they didn't think possible.

For our people, this means the lowest staff turnover in the industry. APCO places a premium on finding the right people in every market and keeping them. The consistency of our team allows us to serve clients seamlessly across international borders and ensures long client partnerships – some more than 15 years.

For our clients' target audiences, this means we share their perspective. Our team includes former elected leaders, ambassadors, government officials, political consultants, journalists and executives from both business and the nonprofit community. APCO's strength is in building working partnerships wherever our clients need them.

At APCO, we focus on getting headlines for others, not making them for ourselves. Our work ensures that your message is heard loud and clear in your own voice.

Dedication to our clients is one reason 74% of our business comes from referrals and why we have a 98% client satisfaction rating. It is also why we have been described as 'the best kept secret' in our industry.

We believe our work best demonstrates who we are and what we do. The following gives a flavor of the challenges our clients face. As you will see, our clients are as diverse as the goals we help them achieve:

• An emerging global company seeking to establish its corporate reputation
• A multinational corporation launching a new global brand to expand its market share
• A Latin American government wanting closer ties to the United States
• A trade association whose industry faces discriminatory trade barriers
• A union representing retired workers whose surplus pension funds were taken by the government
• A baby food manufacturer looking to expand into Eastern Europe
• A patient group whose members face restricted access to life-enhancing medication
