2. Fresh ideas get business slammin’. They get the
party started. And they’re what we’ve been all
about for over twenty years.
Our principal, Steve Durning, brings a lot to the
Our niche party. He has managed production, creative and
client service at various small agencies in Toronto
and Chicago. He can make presentations, write
strategy and generate dozens of concepts to
come up with the “bomb.”
Durning Communications brings agency capabili-
ties without the typical agency headaches. We
work best with clients who must do more with
less – who know the value of marketing, but need
to know that every dollar invested is well spent.

3. Durning Communications travels light.
We have no full-time employees. Instead, on an
as-needed basis, the industry’s best independant
consultants are available to lend their expertise to
your specific marketing need.
