PURPOSE

For DHS, a Purpose means building dynamic partnerships between people, companies, governments, other organizations and the media – partnerships that stimulate conversations with the potential to change the world. One of the most exciting aspects of the times in which we live and work is that no one owns this model, because there are no boundaries.

It is a world in which we can imagine possibility, work hard and with creativity and expertise to turn the possible into the real and achieve results for our clients that help them realize their purposes and make them and us proud.

At DHS, Purpose means embracing this change. Telling the right story well is still the best way to communicate, but we must find new ways to communicate those stories. We understand that content, not platforms, is what fascinates and engages people. The ability of companies and brands to develop and distribute relevant content is limitless. What used to be a push model is now a vacuum that pulls everyone together.

For DHS, Purpose is about understanding that, at its heart, communications is all about people – whether business-people, politicians, bloggers, journalists or other audiences – and people pay attention to what matters to them. Purpose means creating compelling messages backed by evidence not whim, making content matter backed by expertise, and driving relevance that provides substantive impact and meaningful results for our clients.
