OUR PHILOSOPHY
EC-PR is a public relations agency with a difference. We believe in being kind, decent and honest.
We work hard to support the best interests of our clients.
We aim to treat others the way we would like to be treated ourselves.
We love to be challenged but, while the occasional shot of adrenaline can be very exciting at work, we aim to keep those dramas to a minimum.
Laughter and collaboration rank highly on our list of things that are important to us.
Anywhere that water and engineering come together has a special place in our hearts and we think membership organisations are pretty cool too.
….and finally, we believe that in most cases, chocolate is most probably the answer.
