"Bart fills an unique niche assisting thought leaders in the field of sustainability.
"As a former journalist, he’s tuned in to the discourse, so he knows where the leading edge is and how new ideas should be positioned. And as a writer and editor, he’s an attentive listener, an organized thinker, and a graceful wordsmith. He’s a treat to work with."

“In short, New Growth Communications impressed us with their intelligent and honest approach to media relations, as well as terrific results.”
“When we won the Grand Prize at the 2013 Rice Business Plan Competition, we knew we had to act quickly to maximize the opportunity for media coverage. Within a week New Growth Communications began working a targeted list of journalists and publications on our behalf, helping us ride a wave of media attention that landed us in The Chicago Tribune, CNN Money, GigaOm and Bloomberg Businessweek.
“New Growth principal Bart King recognized the urgency of the situation and needed very little assistance getting up to speed on our unique background and value proposition. He was an ideal partner at this stage of our growth, freely sharing industry contacts and PR advice that allowed us to take a more DIY approach when we subsequently won the 2013 DOE National Clean Energy Business Plan Competition.
“In short, New Growth Communications impressed us with their intelligent and honest approach to media relations, as well as terrific results.”

I cannot say enough for his relaxed, professional style – he is wonderful to work with!”

"Having them in our corner brought strength to our entire organization, and I can’t say enough about Bart’s enthusiasm and integrity. He’s a rare find.”
“New Growth Communications has been an invaluable partner throughout the planning, building and promotional phases of Imery Group’s Proud Green Home project. From the first time I met with Bart King, it was clear he understood our long-range goals for building and marketing a home that would set the bar for all green homes in the region.
“New Growth advised our content planning process and created a detailed social media plan for us to implement in-house. They also carried out a successful media campaign that helped build our national reputation and regional sales interest as we first won the EarthCraft House Platinum Project of the Year, followed by the National Association of Home Builders Green Project of the Year.
“Most importantly, New Growth Communications remained flexible and committed as unavoidable delays affected the building phase of the project. Having them in our corner brought strength to our entire organization, and I can’t say enough about Bart’s enthusiasm and integrity. He’s a rare find.”

“Bart is a top-notch editor.”
“Bart is a top-notch editor.
He took my very loose start to the Enterprise Design Sprints book and gave it a much-needed overhaul. I’ve told Bart this a few times already, but I’ll say it again, working with him made me a better writer.
“I’ve already recommended him to one of my clients, which is perhaps the best indication of how I feel about his work.”

"Working with Bart of New Growth Communications has been a breakthrough for us.
“We’ve worked with other writers and editors in the past, but none matched his level of professionalism and talent. From pulling ideas onto the blank page to carefully addressing concerns of voice and language, he’s clearly invested in facilitating our thought leadership and copywriting.
“Our entire team enjoys working with him and his speed and responsiveness have been critical to the launch of our new website and content marketing efforts. Frankly, I’m not sure how we would produce this much content without him.”
