PR  https://inkincpr.com

"John was as tremendous asset to our startup. Thanks to his great work, we were featured in numerous national and global publications in our first three years bringing many visitors to our website and increasing our sales tenfold. It is not an easy task to get reporters to write about women's sexual health. John took a topic that some consider taboo and was very successful in making writers and producers see the importance of creating pelvic pain awareness and helping women all over the globe find a diagnosis and treatment." 
— Tara Langdale-Schmidt, Founder of VuVatech  www.vuvatech.com  
 
"John’s credo ‘no nonsense, no BS, just results’ couldn’t be more accurate! He simply gets the job done and makes life easy for his clients. Not only did John make a quick impact in getting some huge wins early on (New York Times, Washington Post, Frommer’s, to name a few), but over time, he really helped put smarTours on the map. We could not be more thankful!"  
— Greg Geronemus, former co-CEO smarTours LinkedIn
 
“John does an amazing job of bringing me new story angles all the time. When we are looking for information, he’s thorough, accurate and quick. He never leaves us hanging and that means that we cover his clients more often than those of other PR people who aren’t as efficient. Even if we don’t have a story that would be a good fit right away, he always remembers to follow up.”
— Jeanette Mulvey, Executive Director, Content Strategy at U.S. Chamber of Commerce www.JeanetteMulvey.com
 
"John has had a profound and positive impact on our business.  He has become a trusted friend and advisor on all things media related.  I'd not take any steps in a new market, nor in any communications effort, without John advising my team.  He's that good."
— Joe Carter, Snyder Environmental  http://snyderenvironmental.com/
 
 “John was absolutely indispensable to Catalant’s rapid growth. With his help, we were featured in dozens of major media outlets within a few months of launching, enabling us to place second out of 150 teams in the Harvard Business School Field Venture contest, and draw more than $1 million in investor interest before we had produced $25K in revenue. I’m confident we would be a far smaller company today if we had not hired John.”
— Rob Biederman, co-founder of Catalant, https://gocatalant.com/
