OUR STORY
CEO Sarah Long founded Breck in 2011 to be a different kind of company, based on the premise that user experience and engagement would be the foundation of every program we support. A company where our people exhibit the traits that are worth investing in - trustworthiness, accountability, genuine care in addition to capability and excellence - to create a place where work may come and go but people want to stay.
Breck provides a mix of services that includes strategic communications, design, branding, digital media, B2B and B2G marketing, writing, Section 508, and website support. Our dedication to excellence led to our substantial growth in 2019 when we grew from six employees to more than 40 employees and contractors. Today, we have more than 15 clients across private and public sectors, ranging from DoD, DHS, and USAID to SBA, GSA, HUD OIG, and USDA.
Our Mission: We execute ideas, communicate effectively, and measure success to help clients achieve their mission-critical goals.
OUR VALUES & CULTURE
Breck is focused on the audience and end-user experience. Whether it’s a website or a video, see it from their perspective! We’re not simply interested in telling clients what they want to hear; we want them to succeed in fulfilling their intended objectives as efficiently and proactively as possible.
Breck doesn’t separate strategy from communications. Good design isn’t just window dressing but a tactic that fits into overall strategy. Our creative solutions, messaging, and design all support our clients’ goals.
We create and apply big-picture concepts and ideas across a wide canvas, while not losing sight of the details and hands-on, problem-solving work that brings projects to life.
Ask questions if you don’t understand what’s expected. Get in front of anticipated problems. When problems arise, we handle it in this same way, driving towards a solution.
We value respect, total transparency in our work and communications, and 100% honesty. While mistakes will happen, we don’t tolerate any breach of trust, transparency, or honesty with each other or our clients.
Understand your part to play and your responsibility to the team. We don’t believe in passing the buck at Breck. Produce work and create an environment deserving of personal ownership and pride.
We are a collaborative company, with a multi-disciplinary and cross-trained team. We constantly learn from and challenge each other, empower individual goals, and search for new opportunities for training and professional development together. Our diverse skills and experience across multiple fields help us understand the larger context of our clients’ projects.
A happy client is a happy Breck! Our clients are our brand ambassadors. The overall satisfaction of our clients is a direct measure of our success. The more positive the experience for the client, the more loyalty is built. This leads to good publicity which nurtures growth.
We foster a community of inclusivity, intellectual curiosity, and respect. We believe our values and culture can be a driving force for positive change in industry standards.
