A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.
Henry Ford

Nixey Communications doesn’t have a social responsibility policy.  We don’t have an environmental policy.  We don’t even have a corporate donations policy.  We do, however, have a strict no-dealing-with-jerks policy.

Our little business model goes something like this: deal with local suppliers, help other small businesses succeed, contribute a reduced carbon footprint, donate time and money to charity as often as possible, and give discounted rates to non-profits.

Sounds pretty simple, huh?

Here’s a list of some great business partners and suppliers used by Nixey Communications.  If you need work done, please visit them… and tell them Nixey sent you.
