erving a niche market and providing competitive pricing are not the only reasons Vox Printing is successful. Its employees’ personal relationships with its customers have set Vox above its competitors. Since 1971, this printing juggernaut has been leading the competition in printing materials — including trayliners, placemats, coupons, direct mail pieces and newspaper inserts along with promotional inserts and bag stuffers — for quick-service restaurants. It has also expanded its business to include the production of folding cartons and expect business to grow in this area over the next couple of years. Family comes first at Vox Printing, and yearly bonuses help families. Employees get a yearly bonus of $1,000 if the company meets its goals, which it has for the last several years. It also holds celebrations, parties and events to commemorate important milestones. One such event is Days Without An Accident Celebrations. If the company goes a year with a reportable accident, employees are treated to a special dinner. And to
help through the rough patches, the company employs a chaplain who makes weekly visits and assists employees who might be dealing with personal issues. Since some of Vox Printings largest customers are quick-service restaurants, it seems natural that its president and CEO serve on the board of Ronald McDonald House Charities. Many at the company help financially support the houses through fundraising activities. Several of Vox’s employees are leaders in the Boy Scouts of America and let the nonprofit use their 70-acre campus to have campouts and training. “Our company is a best place to work in Oklahoma because we recognize the value of our employees. Our employees are the reason we are one of the most productive printing companies in the national and why we have relationships with many of our customers that go back decades. We appreciate our employees and do what we can to make sure the time they spend at work is enjoyable and rewarding. Our culture statement is we enjoy working and are enjoyable to work with,” said David Reid, president.
Public Strategies aspires to be a great place to work—a place that inspires excellence, respects diversity and invests in individual growth. We are proud to have been named as one of Oklahoma’s Best Places to Work for a fifth year. But above all, we are proud of our incredible staff who make Public Strategies such a remarkable place.

ince 1992, Blusource’s mission as a distribution organization has been to acquire excess inventories of companies and distribute those goods at a much lower cost to nonprofits. The company strives to provide nonprofits with high-quality products at the lowest possible fees. And due to Blusource’s ability to work as a friendly conduit between companies and nonprofits, the needs of the people the nonprofits serve are met. Blusource not only makes a business practice out of ultimately providing needed goods to an underserved population, it practices with a sense of duty to service those in need. It gives employees 30 hours of paid time off for service or mission trips. This sense of giving back carries over into its community initiatives
such as providing backpacks to the Maisha Orphanage in Kenya and contributing to the Lyric Understudies Program in Oklahoma City. However, it’s not all about serving the needs of others; it’s also about serving the needs of its employees with a four-day work week in a fun and relaxed work environment, an onsite workout room and food trucks that cater lunches throughout the summer months. Blusource also provides back-to-school supplies for all of its employees’ children.
