Ann is an exceptional writer and public relations strategist. She is very professional to work with and has greatly increased our ability to express and extend our brand in a variety of venues. I sincerely recommend Ann to any company looking for guidance and execution in marketing, communications and public relations.

Ann's enthusiasm and creative ideas keep me going. Her response time is incredible - she really does a great job of making me feel like I'm her only client. With Ann, I am less overwhelmed when implementing new programs, and have 'backup' from someone with great Portland connections that can take my tiny ideas to the next level. She's the #1 best business decision I've made this year!
Velocity Partners
Ann was integral in establishing Velocity Partners' corporate messaging and positioning as well as supporting our ongoing communication needs. She keeps a consistent focus on how we can best connect with our key audiences and continually brings fresh ideas to the table.
Xplane
Ann is masterful as both a strategist and as an executive, having translated strategy into results consistently over the years we've worked together. She's contributed to the growing strength of our brand through multiple national and international press reviews, speaking engagements, and awards.
Delaware
Ann's strategic approach and diligent execution has helped us create awareness of our subsidiaries, differentiate our company in the marketplace, and secure relationships with our clients by driving attendance to historic properties, sporting venues, airport locations, and national parks under our stewardship. Ann can be counted on to deliver.
Standing Partnership
More than a proficient project manager, Ann is a proven leader. Her confidence stems from one part personality, one part patience, and two parts exceptional preparation. Years after parting ways as co-workers, Ann still stands out as one of the best public relations specialists I know, giving her clients absolute peace of mind that they're working with the right person.
Stay
During our business expansion Ann was very supportive and took a load of work off our hands. Within the first month she exceeded our PR goal by getting not just one but two television channels out to spotlight Stay. The phones are still ringing from that!!! Ann is thorough, professional and really spends time thinking about our business needs. We recommend her to all fellow business owners.

EuroBound
I was introduced to Ann through our web designer. My initial reaction was that we're in travel and Ann's a writer - what does she know. Well, I was very impressed. Ann certainly took a big load off my shoulders and did a terrific job. Will I use Ann again? Most certainly!
