Here at Cascade Communications, we're always innovating to stay ahead of industry trends to ensure success for our clients now and in the future.
That's why we were a virtual agency long before anyone else and decades before angry viruses forced us to be. In fact, Cascade launched as a virtual agency in 2001. We've perfected that model.
That's why, years ago, Cascade became more than a PR firm for startups, small and mid-sized businesses. It is a Story Agency and Consulting Firm because we know that, then and now, PR is far more than just public relations.
That's why Cascade created the Cascade360 strategy that is the basis for our Story Agency model. It's what we breathe everyday.
That's why we're now a global agency with clients around the world.
That's why when we were reconnected to a highly respected journalist and she said yes to coming on board as our Content Strategist, we we're over the moon thrilled!
