Subscriber Feedback
At the recommendation of someone who has used her services before, we contracted Marilyn to draw media attention to the “Art for an Oil Free Coast” tour in Calgary, Canmore and Okotoks, Alberta, in April 2013. We were impressed at the amount of media coverage the tour received in Calgary, far more than we ever anticipated. Because of Marilyn’s efforts, the audiences were steady, curious and enthusiastic and the tour’s message was heard on radio, television and both daily newspapers in Calgary in the Globe and Mail and even in the Huffington Post. I had a chance to speak to people from all walks of life -- including oil executives and politicians -- about critical aspects about the Northern Gateway Pipeline project that Marilyn’s involvement and expertise made possible. All in all, it was a valuable, interesting and worthwhile experience.

The media release distribution service you offer is nothing short of exceptional. The day after you sent out the release on behalf of Concordia High School, my day consisted of 90 phone calls -- ALL media related. In all honesty I there wasn't a TV, newspaper or news radio station that didn't cover this story. Knowing we were the top news story for the TV stations at noon, 5pm, 6pm and 11pm says something to the extensive distribution you work from and there's no doubt you get the release to the right people. As I mentioned on the phone, a few years ago I attended one of your sessions on Web 2.0 and I found it so informative and learned so much, that I immediately thought of you and your company when time was of the essence. I can't thank you enough for being there that morning (and I do apologize for getting you out of bed) but also that you followed up with me throughout the day to keep me informed on what you were hearing. You offer nothing short of first class service. I will definitely work with you again but I'll be sure to wait until 9 am to call:) Thanks Marilyn.

We had the best media turnout of a CKUA event since the resurrection of the station in 1997 thanks to you. The media coverage was fantastic and much of it we can attribute to the media advisory you sent out on our behalf. All of us at CKUA are pleased with the media relations services you provide to CKUA. And, we have only just begun our partnership together. Thank you.
