They bring key insights and industry expertise to every assignment. Christine and Mariana and their team have demonstrated an ability to quickly understand our brand, our people and our products and then translate this knowledge into results-oriented PR strategies.” –Kaia Akre, President, Cutter & Buck • “Turner PR has done a great job for us. They bring both the depth and breadth of coverage of a large firm combined with the services and understanding of our brand and culture of a small, boutique PR firm.” – Bruce Pettet, President and CEO, Collective Int’l (Airwalk, Vision) • “In one month Turner PR garnered more PR exposure for our brands than we accomplished ourselves in one year. Turner PR is the perfect combination a specialty PR shop, with the media relationships of a big city firm. And I’ve worked with a lot of PR firms over the years. You couldn’t find more wonderful people to work with. Call me if you’d like to talk about their capabilities.” –Linda Nielander, VP of Marketing, Airwalk Brand
Client Testimonials (Cont.) • “I hired Turner PR almost a year ago. Right away I was impressed with their creativity and attention to detail. They are very professional and have helped to build better relationships between my company and the people we work with. Best of all, Turner had been able to secure more local and national PR exposure within their first few months than other firms did within a few years.” -Andy Macdonald, Professional Skateboarder, Owner of Andy Mac Skateboards, Footwear, Helmets & Pads • “I have contracted with Turner Public Relations on behalf of three separate organizations involving different golf consumer products. In each and every case Turner PR has exceeded my expectations and delivered the SIZZLE. For a PR firm to come through once I consider lucky, twice I consider good but three times is pure SKILL. Respectfully.” -Wes Whittingham, former Director of Florsheim Golf • "The Havana Joe brand would never have made it out of Spain and to the United States if it weren't for Turner PR’s help. Her ability to secure press coverage without advertising dollars was integral in establishing a new brand in the States. She landed our brand in numerous national magazines from Men's Health to Harper's Bazaar, national newspapers and national network television, including NBC's Today Show. Her strategies, persistence and professionalism helped our team tremendously." -Michael Saitowitz, former president of Havana Joe Boots & Shoes, responsible for bringing brand from Spain to U.S.
Client Testimonials (Cont.) • “Being a Fashion Market Editor of Self Magazine, a magazine which delivers to over 5 million readers per month, I am in constant contact with hundreds of Public Relations firms. I can easily list the criteria needed to produce and maintain a successful PR relationship; up-to-date press releases and catalogs, prompt delivery of merchandise for time sensitive photo shoots, and most importantly, consistent enthusiasm over the labels represented. Turner PR has highlighted itself in every category above. Their level of professionalism ranks high, and I have found the company to be very personable. In fact, Mariana Singer has personally flown to New York to show both the Airwalk and Tehāma lines in my office (talk about VIP service)!! I, also, have never had any delays in sample deliveries, including the infamous editorial request for last minute clothing needed on next-day photo shoots! And, my favorite and most refreshing sense of Turner PR is the enthusiasm they show for each label. It inspires me to pitch their ideas to my editors and encourages my decision to involve the label in Self Magazine. Go Team Turner!!!” -Kate Wingard, Fashion Market Editor, Self Magazine
