"Having been disappointed by my previous experience of working with a PR agency, I was initially sceptical about taking on another, particularly as we were looking for an agency with the digital know-how and contacts to build LBI Netrank’s profile as a recognized player in the SEM industry from the ground up. But, with the help of Say Communications, that is exactly what we’ve accomplished over the past 12 months. Say’s depth and breadth of knowledge in new media and expertise in all things digital has been the driving force behind an exceptional public relations campaign. This has been clearly reflected by the solid relationship that Say has with the digital press and the excellent level of coverage they have achieved for us – which has far exceeded our expectations and has even delivered new business leads for us.
It has been a pleasure working with Say and we have been constantly impressed by their professional, yet friendly, attitude. I have already recommended Say to other companies looking for a PR agency and will continue to do so without hesitation.”

"Since Concord began working with Say in January 1998 it has been consistently impressed with their work. Our product, eHealth, requires a very targeted and strategic PR campaign, focusing primarily on the networking and corporate computing magazines, but also on business press. To date we've had several great quality reviews, good news coverage and some well placed by-lines. When asked to play more of a pan-European role and help target European-based reporters for US publications, Say was able to step up quickly and decisively - expanding their efforts and value. Our visibility in the UK market has improved greatly and, without a doubt, much of that has to be attributed to the PR effort to date."
Josef Blumenfeld
Director, Worldwide Public Relations, Concord Communications
"When we decided to change PR agencies 3 years ago, we were looking for an agency that was going to be able to hit the ground running and effect a smooth transition from the incumbent. We certainly made the right choice with Say, who were as good as their word and took over our account without a hitch. Since then, they've always provided an extremely professional service and have continuously delivered well-written press materials and consequently great coverage in our target press. I have no hesitation in recommending their services to any business."

"Following 9/11 tourism suffered greatly. The timing could not have been worse as we were preparing to launch El Capitan Canyon in June 2002; our advance bookings were looking grim. We hired Graham & Associates to help us to launch our property and become a leader in a new category, "Contemporary Comfort Camping." The agency defined our niche well and capitalized on the trend of traveling closer to home and seeking comfort in nature. Within six weeks of our PR launch, we were featured in The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, 'Good Morning America,' 11 Fox News affiliates, KTLA, and more. As a result, our phones rang off the hook and for several consecutive months we were close to capacity if not 100% full. Thank you, Graham & Associates, for a job well done."

"Given a condensed schedule and our need to quickly generate sales leads, we hired Graham & Associates to launch Luma, an active adult beachfront community located in Mexico. The need to differentiate the Luma development in the media was critical. The agency created a comprehensive public relations approach and plan which highlighted the unique positioning for Luma. In a matter of a few months, we were in Kiplinger's Retirement Report, Yahoo! Real Estate, TheStreet, and more. The press coverage contributed greatly to generating leads on our interest list. The number of articles Graham secured for us, far outpaced our main competitor in Mexico. The account team is professional, effective and worked extremely well as part of the overall marketing and branding team for Front Porch Development Company and Luma. They have done a wonderful job of telling the Luma story across our consumer and trade markets. Thank you for all the good work."
Lee Ratta

Graham also worked with a local radio station, KDFC-FM, to secure a sponsorship and significant on-air promotion around a high-end San Francisco event. Thank you, Graham & Associates."
Andrea Antonnicola
Ferrari & Maserati of San Francisco
"We initially choose Graham & Associates as they made the best first impression and were pro-active in the initial dialogs and hit the bulls eye with their first drafted strategy. They managed to understand the business and market dynamics extremely fast, set a clear strategy on how to position Nav N Go as the leader in 3D navigation software in North America at the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas. They delivered a unique positioning for Nav N Go that garnered 25 media and analyst briefings with national publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and CNET, as well as with key analyst firms such as IDC, Bear Stearns, ABI research, etc. Graham's PR campaign resulted in 98 media placements and generated qualified business leads. Although we were working with very tight deadlines it was a great pleasure to work with such a nice and devoted team. They worked hard, had fun and delivered, I am pleased to continue this successful partnership."
