Boulder, CO - 6 October 2003: Industry veterans q.d. communications and The Brents Consulting Group today announced the formal merger of their two speaker training and presentations skills firms. Both entities have served as premiere providers of related services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, and healthcare industries since their inceptions in 1994 and 1996, respectively. The two firms will now operate under one new global identity, Artifex Communications Services, Inc.
We have long realized that our clients - and the market in general - have been seeking new and differentiated services from a trusted partner. Our two firms have combined to offer not only the premiere communications services firm geared to the medical related industries, but more importantly to partner with our clients in order to create tailored communications services that meet specific communications goals and objectives.
q.d. communications of Boulder, CO was founded in 1994 and has been known for its industry leading training and educational programs geared toward medical launch meetings and events through the skill development of related executives and physician representatives. The firm has maintained over 50 dedicated professionals involved in over 100 major product launches while conducting over 5,200 meetings and training over 65,000 individuals to improve their public speaking and presentation skills.

Success to our clients is found in their ability to genuinely connect with others - one-to-one or one-to-group. Clear and powerful communication is paramount. The ability to masterfully connect with internal and external audiences can mean the difference between marginal results and profound success. Just as our name, Artifex - the literal Latin translation for "masterful" - implies, we offer clients the training, education and differentiated programs to help them master all of the human connections presented.
