Company Overview

Qorvis was founded as a better way of providing integrated communications, with a singular focus on client service. We eliminated the trappings of traditional public relations – practice areas, silos and billable hours – all aspects of the business that hinder both relationships and quality work. This allows us the freedom to collaborate on creative and effective solutions for our clients.

Qorvis specializes in corporate communications on national and international levels. Our clients have included Fortune 500 companies, as well as major international companies headquartered in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

We help companies build and maintain strong reputations, manage difficult crisis issues, enhance shareholder value, and protect their interests in Washington, D.C.

Qorvis has performed every level of a communications campaign – from international awareness and education to national public affairs. We can do this because we are the best of big and small. We have the reach and resources of a large agency, with the quality and attention of a boutique firm.

Our ability to effectively identify and isolate our clients’ issues on every level comes from our experience and full-service capabilities.

And our team includes individuals who have served at the highest levels of management in corporations and associations; in government, from Capitol Hill to the White House; and in the news media, from television to print. We pride ourselves on our legendary client service that achieves breakthrough results.

Careers:

Qorvis looks for special people who will embrace the unique culture we’ve created. That means a collegial atmosphere conducive to producing breakthrough work for clients. No traditional supervisory relationships here – instead, you’ll work with a coach on your professional development and career path options, and you’ll also get specific skill coaching from our client team managers. No org charts, practice area silos or timesheets. We survey client and employee satisfaction and evaluate retention, because these are the metrics that matter – not billable hours.

Our staff represents the best and brightest in their respective fields; we attract great talent who also leave their egos at the door! Again, that’s another hallmark of our culture. Our team includes people who have served at the highest management levels in Fortune 500 corporations and associations; in government – from Capitol Hill to the White House; and in the media, from television to print to online.

Benefits:

Qorvis provides its employees with the type of benefits package that you expect from a leading communications firm…and then some. We offer a comprehensive health and dental coverage, life and disability insurance, flexible spending for health and dependent care, and a 401(k) plan (including an employer match of 25 cents on the dollar up to 3% of the contribution). While other companies have continued to pare back their contribution to employee benefits, Qorvis continues to pay the majority of health/dental/life premiums for employees. Another great benefit is the bonus program – all employees, not a select few, are eligible for an annual bonus, and it’s based on both individual and company performance. We also offer free parking or reimbursement for public transportation.

In addition to a long list of benefits, we offer a workplace that allows for the work-life balance our employees need and deserve. We expect everyone to work hard, but hours are flexible. We act less like a corporation and more like a family when it comes to special circumstances, like the birth of a child or the death of a family member.

Culture:

Qorvis is not a conventional communications firm: we work hard to maintain a strong camaraderie among our employees and with our clients. We encourage interaction, debate and discussion from every viewpoint. In fact, we have employees who have their own blogs, are contributors to national publications, and are regular political commentators.

We encourage a continuous learning environment where our employees grow both as professionals and as well-rounded people. Social and sports activities are a regular part of our routine. Our softball, basketball, tennis and golf outings are part of who we are and what we do. We also sponsor cultural efforts such as theater trips for staff. And our pot luck lunches (that evidence the gourmet cooking abilities of many staff members) and margarita get-togethers provide regular outlets for employee camaraderie.

Vision:

Our vision is to be a world-class communications firm, widely respected by our clients, our competitors, the media, and the communities in which we do business for being among the very best at what we do.

Great client service is directly related to the quality of our people, the environment in which they work, and their ability to maximize each others’ assets through a very high degree of collegiality. Financial success; growth in the number and quality of employees; and an increase in the prestige, size, and number of our clients are all consequences of providing great client service and not goals in themselves.
