Who We Are
The Heelprint Story
Walking in the heelprint of others is easy to do.
It’s a path with no requirements, no challenges, no risks. As students, it’s easy to walk in the heelprint of others because it provides security and assurance in a time of uncertainty. However, in 2009, four students decided to venture off course and into unpredictability because in order to make the impossible, the unthinkable and the impractical a reality, one must take risk and overcome hurdles. Heelprint Communications emerged out of their decision to forge a new path, and because of their commitment to nonconformity and ingenuity, Heelprint has become a successful organization that has left a great impact on its community.
Walking in the heelprint of others is easy to do. But when you are walking in the heelprint of others, you won’t make any of your own.
