Omni Communications Group is proud to be celebrating its eighteenth anniversary this week. Established on July 5, 1992 at the Springfield home of one of its three founding partners, the marketing, advertising and public relations firm expanded quickly by providing all-inclusive service to clients. Marketing demands evolved, clientele increased, and new employees with expertise in innovative systems joined the team. Operations relocated, first to an office on South Fifth Street, and in 1997 to Omni’s current location at Two South Old State Capitol Plaza, adjacent to the stately and historic Old State Capitol Building.

Today, Omni Communications Group has demonstrated experience and expertise in many industries, including business to business, manufacturing, associations, not-for-profits, health care, retail, financial and technology. Its broad array of marketing services includes strategic marketing plans, market research, branding development, design, advertising, custom website development, media planning and placement, event promotions and public relations.

Congratulations to all at Omni and keep up the great work!

Lincoln College in Lincoln, Illinois

By Kathleen H. Wheeler

Lincoln College philanthropist Bernard “Bernie” Behrends shares a passion for education espoused by the prominent gentleman for whom his hometown was named.  In his first political announcement in 1832, Abraham Lincoln wisely noted “Upon the subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people can be engaged in.”  In keeping with Lincoln’s sentiment, Bernie Behrends has devoted his personal time and financial resources to provide higher educational opportunities for those less fortunate in the community. 

The Behrends philosophy of charity was instilled early in childhood through the teachings of the Lutheran Church.  Bernie and his older sister Anna were raised by their widowed mother and grandfather to help others when possible through service to their church and the public.   They were taught to view their contributions as a privilege that would ultimately strengthen society as a whole.  Blessed by success and prosperity as adults, Bernie and Anna have sustained these fundamental Christian principles through consistent and generous donations to their alma mater, Lincoln College, hoping the recipients of their charity will someday “pay it back” by helping others as well.
