Yes& significantly expanded its government business with the award of major contracts with FEMA, USDA, and DOT for strategic marketing communications services.
Yes& today announced a significant expansion of its government business through the award of three key contracts. After a thorough and focused business development effort, the company was selected to provide a variety of strategic marketing communications services to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).
“Sometimes in adversity, there is opportunity,” said Robert W. Sprague, President & CEO, Yes&. “We have used the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to double down on business development activity in the still-strong public sector, looking for ways to serve our current clients even better, and to pursue new opportunities on the basis of our success in meeting the needs of government agencies and business-to-government clients.”
Over the past few months, Yes& has been awarded:
FEMA National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Marketing and Outreach
Yes& will provide strategic marketing, communications, public relations, and advertising services to support NFIP’s goals of enhancing flood risk awareness, increasing flood insurance sales, driving current policyholders understanding of their policy, and encouraging mitigation behavior through the NFIP.

USDA Food and Nutrition Services (FNS)
Yes& is supporting USDA Child Nutrition Programs (CNP) through content development, design, and Section 508 compliance services for new and existing CNP and other FNS program materials.

Yes& will also standardize, design, and provide Section 508 remediation for the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) Multicultural Child Care Recipes.
