Our Story
Like great cities, great firms evolve from strong foundations.
CirclePoint is no exception, with its foundation firmly grounded in the San Francisco Bay Area. Established in 1987 as Public Affairs Management, the firm evolved over the years to offer a full spectrum of strategic communications, environmental planning, and creative services. In 2005, the firm rebranded as CirclePoint to better reflect this holistic, "whole view" approach to problem-solving. And in 2008, CirclePoint and MMC Communications - a Sacramento-based public relations consultancy - merged to strengthen the firm's presence in the Sacramento area.
Over the last two decades, CirclePoint has grown from a handful to more than 60 staff in San Francisco, Oakland, and Sacramento. Today, we are well known for the cutting-edge approaches and tools we use to bring the right messages to the right people. Our programs for crisis and risk communications, public policy dialogue, conflict resolution, collaboration among diverse constituents, and public outreach and education are informed by our past but crafted for the present.
CirclePoint continues to be involved with some of the most exciting, important issues and challenges of our times. And together with our clients, we are dedicated to working every day to improve the world we live in.
