What is Carlton Communications?

Carlton Communications - winner of both the top national and state public relations awards - was founded by Dick Carlton in 1975 as a small agency based on the principles of Management-by-Objectives.

During the ensuing 30 years, we have worked with a variety of clients in planning and implementing special events, providing lobbying support, conducting public relations campaigns, creating advertising programs and counseling on just about every aspect of communications.

These clients have ranged from non-profit foundations, museums, hotels and tourist attractions to retirement communities, real estate developers, telecommunications companies and insurance groups.

These have included:

Governor Mark Warner's Inaugural 2002
Lloyds of London
The Mayo Clinic Foundation
The John Marshall Foundation
Henrico Doctors' Hospital
Westminster-Canterbury Retirement Communities
The Jefferson Hotel
The Omni Richmond
The Richmond Marriott
Maymont Foundation

Continental Lawyers Title Company
St. Paul's Episcopal Church
Prince William County Tourism and Economic Development
City of Richmond Tourism
The Museum of the Confederacy
Numerous Commonwealth of Virginia agencies and departments
Real Estate Developers

Various banks and other financial institutions

Working with such a diverse group of clients has provided a strong background in formulating strategies to meet the objectives of the organizations and to reach scores of different target audiences. This experience-as well as the contacts developed in the process-would be extremely beneficial to any organization planning any type of communications program.
