Client Testimonials

"We were at a loss as to how to heighten public awareness about our achievements and how to raise the profile of our programs which were facing negative impacts as a result of changes in federal policy. Savvy coordinated and generated very positive press and television coverage. As a result, we received the needed support of senior state government leadership."

-- Chris Rallis, Co-Chair, Maine Head Start Director’s Association



"I thoroughly enjoyed working with you. Your ability to turn out press is nothing short of masterful. I was pleased with the turnout; pleased with the positive press; and more than impressed with your ability to make it all work."

-- Meredith H. Jones, Vice President, Maine Community Foundation

"We want to thank the entire Savvy staff for the excellent campaign you orchestrated for our new book Journey Around Washington D.C. from A to Z. Your contacts in the marketplace and your organized efforts - beyond the call of duty - resulted in an important review in the Washington Post and one of the most productive author tours we have ever had. We would happily recommend Savvy to other companies seeking thoughtful, persistent public relations expertise."

-- Webster L. Bull, Publisher, Commonwealth Editions, Beverly, MA
