About Blackfriars Communications
Founded in 2002, Blackfriars Communications helps organizations overcome the tyranny of too much information through consulting, executive training, and research. The Blackfriars name comes from the Blackfriars area of London, where the Dominicans brought learning to London in the 13th century, and where Shakespeare's theatre company performed at the Blackfriars Theatre in the early 17th century. The black robes of the Dominicans caused them to be known as "Black friars."
The principals of Blackfriars Communications, while not friars themselves, bring over 25 years of experience in marketing and technology to helping their clients communicate better in the 21st century.
