Our projects come from organizations with immediate needs for which in-house resources lack specific skills or available time, or from other training organizations. Does this describe you? If so, drop us a line! About our name: According to Wikipedia, "Grafting or graftage is a horticultural technique whereby tissues of plants are joined so as to continue their growth together. The upper part of the combined plant is called the scion while the lower part is called the rootstock." When founding the company during the early days of the Internet (San Francisco, 1995), we chose this metaphor to illustrate our practice of merging proven communications methodologies (rootstock) with the potential of new media (scion). The metaphor continues to serve us well as we continue to meld our experience in traditional techniques with our passion for new technologies and paradigms.
