Overview
Shelton Group is the nation's leading marketing communications agency entirely focused in the
energy and environment sectors. Our vision is that every home and building is energy responsible, and sustainability is ordinary. Thus, our purpose - the reason we get out of bed every day -- is to create a market advantage for the organizations that are creating that responsible, sustainable future we envision. Our client list includes the nation's largest energy companies and many product and service providers, trade associations and NGO's in the built environment. A sampling includes Alliant Energy, CertainTeed Insulation, Environmental Defense Fund, ExxonMobil Chemical, Georgia Power, Kohler, and the Solar Electric Power Association.
We've been in business for 25 years and exclusively focused on energy and the environment for12 years - way before words like "sustainability" were everyday terms. Our annual, proprietary research studies connect us to the American and Canadian markets - and the market drivers and obstacles around sustainability and efficiency - with a level of depth no other agency can match.
