I often wonder if our clients and friends know the full extent of our agency's services, given that most clients retain us for one set of services, and may not ever have the need to peek into the rest of our capabilities. 

However, if there were ever a question about how far our capabilities stretch, this newsletter may offer the answer. In the last six weeks, we helped AARP Driver Safety hit a "home run" at MLB's spring training; we executed a national print and broadcast media blitz for a former Under Secretary of Commerce; we media trained a group of volunteers from across the country; and we counseled a client in advance of a major policy briefing on foster care. Throw in award-winning video work, op eds, refreshed message platforms, and research projects, and you have our first quarter in a nutshell.  

We're doing more than you may think over here. If you have a communications challenge, give us a chance to help solve it with you.

Big things are coming next quarter for C.Fox. We're closing in on the official tenth year, and I think you'll like what we have planned...stay tuned.

C.Fox Creates Award-Winning Video for AARP Driver Safety 

To educate drivers on the importance of taking a driver refresher course (if you're like most, you haven't thought about refreshing your skills since you got your license), C.Fox and AARP Driver Safety developed an animated video titled 'What Does Driving Give You?'. The video premiered at the January launch for the new AARP Smart Driver Course and since then has won numerous awards, including two Platinum AVA Digital Awards and two Gold AVA Digital Awards.
