Singer Associates has been named
“Public Affairs Agency of the Year” by The Holmes Report |
“While firms that specialize in consumer public relations or corporate reputation management lose sleep over how to measure the success of their efforts, Singer Associates founder and chief executive Sam Singer has no such worries. He has a simple definition of success: he knows he’s achieved it when his clients emerge victorious in litigation, labor and land use disputes; when they win political campaigns, defeat unwanted regulation or manage issues so they don’t turn into crises.”

The Holmes Report
New PR Agency Report Card, 2004 |
"Singer employees include former journalists, press secretaries, marketing and advertising managers, and government relations specialists who have years of experience and the kind of been-there-done-that experience that gives them credibility as counselors and first-hand knowledge of the news media, elected leaders, regulatory agencies and community organizations that clients seek to influence."

Singer Associates for Norcal Waste Systems
"Turning Garbage Into Gold" |
"California law requires that 50 percent of garbage be recycled. San Francisco was falling behind the requirements of the law in 2001. Norcal Waste Systems developed a three-color cart system, then turned to Singer Associates to get San Franciscans on board. The agency did heavy research beforehand to get feedback from citizens, and the team pushed a message emphasizing the ease of "1-2-3" recycling. The result: Recycling shot up 25 percent." –
