Who We Are
“The Iris Group. This is Susan.”
Susan Lucke is a native Oregonian and worked with leading advertising/public relations agencies such as Whitman Advertising & PR and Coates Advertising. Susan Jowaiszas is a 20 year transplanted Oregonian and started working in New York City and in Portland for Cole & Weber and Bacon & Hunt.
Both Susans are experienced with almost every category of Northwest businesses and all aspects of corporate communication, but each Susan has her own special niche. Susan Lucke has deep experience in healthcare/managed care, real estate development, child/social services and public sector/public involvement. Susan Jowaiszas’ background is filled with energy, agriculture, architecture and construction.
Companies for miles around rely on the Susans of The Iris Group for clear-eyed, fresh ideas that solve their communication problems. We’re appreciated for our responsiveness, our creativity, our experience — and hey, we’re fun to work with.
The Iris Group wrings every bit of value out of each communications dollar.
In 1993, the Susans formed The Iris Group to provide senior communication counsel and hands-on implementation. This means you get experienced professionals who do the work from top to bottom — and that means more value for your communication dollar.
If you’re looking for the fancy office with the designer suits and the platoon of junior and support staff, you’re not looking for The Iris Group. We’re more likely to slide you a bag of M&Ms (the official brain food of The Iris Group) across the desk, than wow you with a slick dog-and-pony show.
When it comes to our work, we find the fun in fundamentals. Whichever Susan has the lead with your business, we’re the ones to participate in the meetings, run down the research, write the plans, return the emails, and lick the envelopes.
Our lean size means we can act quickly and responsively to your business. Our lack of pretense means that every ounce of our energy goes to solving your communication problem.
