Strategy-driven. Community-focused.
Built for complex markets.

Sibco Creative is a strategy-driven communications and community engagement firm with offices in Abilene and the Dallas–Fort Worth area. We work at the intersection of economic development, civic storytelling, and market communications, specializing in the kinds of complex, relationship-dependent engagements that require both strategic clarity and deep local credibility.

Our work spans Texas and the broader region, with particular depth in rural markets, municipal and regional economic development, healthcare systems, and commercial lending — audiences that require trust-first communication strategies rather than conventional marketing approaches.

We build the infrastructure behind effective community engagement: stakeholder messaging frameworks, field-ready communication playbooks, liaison training and support systems, and the strategic coordination needed to ensure that a local face is backed by a credible, coherent strategy.

The Core Premise

"Large-scale infrastructure projects don't fail because the economics are bad. They fail because the community never trusted the people explaining them. Our job is to make sure that doesn't happen."

Rural market entry
is a trust problem.

Large-scale infrastructure projects entering rural Texas communities face a predictable set of challenges: unfamiliarity with the technology, skepticism about outside investment, concerns about local impact, and a deficit of trusted voices explaining what is actually happening and why it benefits the community.

Sibco Creative's role in this engagement model is to ensure that local liaisons are not walking into rooms unprepared. We build:

The strategic framework that defines what to say, what not to say, and how to sequence the conversation

Market-specific messaging that reflects the concerns and values of each community, not a generic corporate narrative

Training and support systems so local representatives operate with confidence and consistency

Response playbooks that anticipate objections and equip liaisons with credible, honest answers

Feedback structures that surface community sentiment and allow strategy to adapt in real time

"A local face backed by professional-grade strategy is the only combination that builds lasting trust in these markets."

— Trish Dressen, Co-Founder

Flexible structures.
Defined outcomes.

Project-Based

Hourly Consulting

$275/hr
Discrete deliverables & defined scope

Ideal for specific projects: market entry playbooks, messaging frameworks, objection mapping, or liaison training programs. Clear scope, clear output.

Hybrid

Foundation + Advisory

Project + Retainer
Build first, then sustain

Foundational project scope builds the core infrastructure, followed by a monthly advisory retainer as markets activate. Best for multi-market rollouts.

Note on scope: Retainer engagements include monthly strategy sessions, market playbook development, liaison support materials, and defined review cycles. Work outside defined scope (including additional markets beyond the initial engagement) is billed at the hourly rate.

Trish Dressen

Co-Founder & Creative Director

Marketing, advertising, public relations, and creative work are in Trish's DNA. She watched both her mother and father build careers in this industry for decades — captivated by their ability to tell the stories of businesses both locally and beyond. That early education became a calling.

Trish leads Sibco's on-the-ground execution: community events, field logistics, creative production, and the kind of relationship-building that only happens in person. She's drawn to all kinds of places, bustling cities, small towns, rural communities, and approaches each one with the same conviction: every place holds a story, and every story deserves to be told well.

That belief, rooted in Abilene and carried across Texas, is what makes her a natural fit for the kind of market engagement work Sibco does.
