Who is spinning this war? -- J2 ================================= The character of any company is a function of its history as well as its commitments. A description of what the founders had in mind at the company's inception, together with an explanation of the priorities which have shaped its growth over the years, can help define those qualities which constitute its special distinctiveness. The vision of Bill Ruder and David Finn that led to the formation of Ruder Finn nearly five decades ago continues to inspire the company today, expanded and reframed for the radically altered world of the 1990s and beyond. The founding principle of bringing farsighted and innovative thinking, coupled with creative communications practices, to many areas of human activity -- business, culture, science, government, education -- remains a defining characteristic. Today, Ruder Finn's overall mission is to help these various sectors successfully respond to the communications challenges of a continually evolving society. We are composed of a dynamic and energetic group of communications professionals who place a high priority on developing our problem-solving skills, our ability to use ingenuity and imagination to help clients achieve valuable results, and our capacity to have an impact on the world of public opinion and achieve positive behavioral change. Those who join the Ruder Finn team are committed to the highest standard of professional excellence and integrity. They seek to provide industry leadership and successfully manage business so that we can continue to grow and develop. The environment at Ruder Finn is one in which there is an active and stimulating interchange among professionals in many diverse areas. While composed of independent business units, we operate as an integrated agency that calls upon the insight and experience of each specialist.
