About Us

Quicksilver Internet Solutions is a wholly owned, private corporation based in Austin, Texas. Named for Mercury, the Greek messenger of the gods, Quicksilver develops solutions that use the Internet to bolster effective message delivery to a market, to a constituency and to other target groups.

Our Philosophy

Professional communication has many facets: One-to-many, one-to-one, many-to-many, and many-to-one. We help our clients marry their online and communications or marketing strategies. The Internet was created for fast, reliable communication. We harness its best qualities for our strategies that aim to propel our clients into success beyond their expectations.

Our Clients

The majority of our clients have a Web presence that is not tethered to a plan. Thus the site drifts away from its intent at conception— to bolster an existing business practice. We listen before we act. Our new media philosophy appeals to a wide spectrum of organizations. We build strategies after we learn about an organization's communications and marketing goals. Our clients range from private-sector sales to national grassroots-advocacy campaigns.

Our Experience

Award-winning newspaper writers. Heralded graphic designers. Advisers to elected officials. Crisis communications planners. Just some of our talented staffers. These folks direct the information architecture of high-profile Internet, communications and marketing strategies in the private and public affairs sectors. We use these skills, and more, to develop a plan, chart a course and successfully execute.
