When John J. Seng founded Spectrum Science Communications in 1996, he opened his doors with one client and one employee: himself.
Since then, Spectrum has grown to be the largest health communications agency office in Washington, and one of the most successful firms in the nation, mostly because clients are carefully nurtured by John and his talented, hand-picked staff.
