Liam Donohue, Chairman, Business Intelligence Advisors
" GCC's solid business PR experience and customer orientation was evident
in the rapid manner in which it responded to a potentially sensitive
editorial inquiry from Barron's. GCC worked with us on key messaging,
prepared us for interviews and managed the editorial relationship to
conclusion. The resulting Barron's cover story on our firm was positive
and conveyed our key messages. The
resulting PR proved to be a very cost-effective investment. "
Dave Hattey, President and CEO, FirstHand Technologies
" I’ve had the pleasure of working with GCC for over two years, and during that time their PR achievements have been nothing less than phenomenal. You know your PR team has done an outstanding job when a tier-one PBX company is told by several analysts that working with FirstHand Technologies is a smart move. I recommend them without hesitation. "
Alan Sherman, Director of Marketing, IntelliVid
" We needed large-firm results but with small-firm rates and senior staff
attention, and that’s exactly what GCC delivered. They clearly defined
and then quickly executed on a focused, impactful PR plan, giving us
great bang for the buck and really putting us on the right path. In just
a matter of months, we were fielding article inquiries from industry
publications, submitting byline articles, positioning one of our
executives as an industry expert, and starting an analyst tour. The
guidance and seasoned PR capabilities of GCC have definitely made a
difference for us. "
Tamara Gruber, Director of Marketing, Broadbeam Corporation
" I can easily say that GCC has the most competent PR professionals I've had the opportunity to work with including freelancers and large agencies. George Cohen is a great writer with a full understanding of PR strategy and tactics. His knowledge of publications and editors is extensive. Best of all, he is extremely productive and responsive to our needs. His turnaround on press releases and articles is outstanding. He is very thorough in the monitoring and coordination of media visits and calls. I feel that GCC provides the services of a much larger agency at a much lower cost, all with a personal touch. "
Donald Daly, CEO, The TAS Group
" GCC has been the PR advisor to four of my startups over the past nine years. The experience has been both enjoyable and efficient – and the results have been exceptional. GCC consultants are knowledgeable and experienced and always add considerable value to our general marketing efforts. We have achieved considerable revenue as a direct result of their PR work. I would highly recommend George Cohen's organization to any high-tech startup. "
Mark Denton, Product Director, Bridgewater Systems
" I like working with senior staffers at GCC because they pick things up really fast, cutting down the time it takes me to brief them and the time taken to review their work. This cannot be underestimated; I have worked with supposed experts who I have taken an hour to brief and I may as well not have bothered! The standard of George Cohen’s writing is very high, and his work is produced on time every time. If he promises this afternoon he means this afternoon, and you can count on him delivering. "
Leigh Ann Empey, VP Product Marketing, Bridgewater Systems
" GCC’s work is exemplary. It's always critical to work with an agency that makes your job easier - not more challenging. They have a solid understanding of the role of an agency and how to push the limits to produce better results for their clients. GCC consultants are honest and experienced, which makes a great combination for a company using a public relations agency for strategic communications. "
Peter Lopes, VP, Sales and Marketing, RedTail Solutions
"
I’m a serial GCC client, having used their services three times over the years with different startups. The reason I keep coming back to GCC is that they really understand high-tech PR. Their staff’s breadth of knowledge and experience is incredible. When I engage GCC, I know that they’ll know the market I’m in and the ones I’m targeting. I would highly recommend GCC to high-tech firms that want highly experienced staffers focused on achieving their business objectives.
"
Bill Wise, Vice President of Marketing, MEGA International
" GCC combines significant experience, professionalism, responsiveness and attention to detail. GCC has been our consistent choice for PR and marketing communications for many years.

Nancy Fontanne, Manager, Marketing Communications, Symagery, Inc.
" GCC has quickly developed an extensive grasp and understanding of both our company and market that we address. I’ve found them to be extremely professional, and as a team they have provided guidance and support whenever necessary. As a result, they have been able to take our public relations program to the next level. Through their proactive and creative pitches as well as their diligence, they've delivered great results for our company. "
