History

Staples Marketing Communications has been in operation since 1976. A full-service advertising, marketing and public relations firm, we changed our name in 1984 to better reflect our mission.

In 1989, Staples Marketing began a decade-long focus on providing marketing services for the real property sales divisions of federal agencies:

  1. HUD – Property Disposition, Milwaukee, WI
  2. HUD – Property Disposition, Fresno, CA

  5. VA – Property Management Division, Houston, TX
  6. VA – Property Management Division,  Waco, TX

In 1998, Staples Marketing’s work for HUD/FHA Fresno’s Energy Efficiency Mortgage program led to our first contract with California Public Utilities Commission 

Since then, Staples Marketing has provided comprehensive marketing and outreach for many utility, CPUC and local government energy efficiency and demand side programs

In 2003, we partnered with the County of Kern, City of Bakersfield and PG&E to develop and implement one of the first local government partnerships in California.
