InGroup, Inc. (ingroupinc.com), award-winning, strategic marketing, public relations, and outreach communications firm, marks its 20th anniversary this year. Since its inception in 1995, InGroup has grown from a one-person consultancy founded by InGroup President Marlene Pissott to a thriving firm with offices in Rochelle Park, NJ, and New York, NY, and a comprehensive roster of clients. More than a decade ago, InGroup, launched WebSwagger (webswagger.com), its digital division, which provides clients the full range of strategic digital, online and website solutions.
“As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, it’s gratifying to look back and see how our team’s commitment to adhering to the highest standards of creativity and competency has helped drive our growth,” said Ms. Pissott. “It’s even more gratifying to look ahead and continually find new and innovative ways to deliver value and flexible support to help our clients achieve their goals.”
InGroup’s clients include government agencies, nonprofits, and private organizations in a wide range of industries, including transportation, infrastructure, environmental, energy, healthcare, and professional services. Fully certified and qualified to deliver community outreach services for federally funded transportation and infrastructure projects, InGroup has participated in regional projects (often with a local or trans-Hudson focus) for NJ TRANSIT, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, New York State Smart Grid Consortium, the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York, and others. Recently, InGroup was selected as a sub-contractor to AECOM, providing outreach communications services for the Rutgers University Transportation Master Plan project.
InGroup is the recipient of numerous awards and recognitions. This year, Ms. Pissott was selected as a Leading Women Entrepreneur Phase One Finalist by Leading Women Entrepreneurs & Business Owners, which recognizes women who demonstrate excellence in innovation, market potential, community involvement and advocacy for women. In 2013, Ms. Pissott was selected to participate in the 10,000 Small Businesses initiative. Funded by Goldman Sachs and the Goldman Sachs Foundation, the $500-milion national program is designed to help small businesses in the U.S. create jobs and economic growth.
