marlo m/c: testimonials

“Marlo and her staff have been invaluable in raising the visibility, stature and success of our two Zoos. I regularly receive comments from people about the frequent and positive coverage we receive in the press. The editorial coverage, combined with their creative management and targeted execution of our limited advertising budget, has helped us reach record-breaking visitor and membership levels. It is obvious with every step that they have a real commitment to our success.”

Our brand awareness has been greatly increased by marlo's efforts, and their communication and strategy is impeccable.

“Over the last 15 months, we have worked with the marlo team as we evolved from a simple four-page business plan with several innovative, yet unproven, ideas for shaking up the fine wine consumer marketplace, into one of the most talked about up-and-coming wine retailers, both locally and nationally. marlo has been instrumental, not just in helping to identify the key points that make us different and special, but in distilling those ideas down to a powerful, cohesive, and VERY effective message. In turn, they have created and executed a strategic plan for communicating that message and conveying our story as efficiently as possible. Public relations simply does not get any better than this and the results are there to prove it.”

“Many of Marlo's attributes impress me, but for brevity, I'll chose two. She selects clients where she can have a true impact engaging fully with them. And, she has built and empowers an incredible team, so you have a force as powerful as her, but bigger.”

“In short, Marlo Fogelman is the most honest PR person I've met in the 25 years I have been in the food business. Sometimes too honest. I know that when I get a comment or an answer to a question, I can count on Marlo to give it to me straight and unsweetened. That helps me make the best choice for my company. Bottom line is that I can rely on her.”

“The work of marlo marketing/communications was one of the most effective and successful tools in bringing customers to my store, as well as driving online sales from across the country. I found that the customers who visited us after reading or hearing about us were not only more interested in and excited about our offerings, but they were also the ones the most likely to make purchases and attend classes. In a week, I would estimate that nearly 40-50% of my walk-in business was the result of the work of Marlo and her team.”

“It's been our experience that Marlo Fogelman is both a pleasure to work with and professional. When Marlo speaks, we listen. It is not always thus in her business. She has been passionate on our behalf and we have been very pleased with the results of her efforts. In short, Marlo rocks!”

“Having worked in the communications industry for more than a decade, I understand the value of public relations and the services traditional PR firms deliver. The difference with Marlo, however, is her extraordinary commitment to her clients; you quickly realize that she is thinking about the success of your business 100% of the time. She relentlessly and tirelessly identifies and secures stellar media opportunities, but also builds deep and lasting relationships on your behalf with the media and businesses that matter most. In addition, she somehow manages to only hire individuals who are remarkably talented and just as passionate, creating an attentive and professional atmosphere that, as a client, allows me to always feel well cared for no matter who is working on my business.”

“Marlo Fogelman is a team player and a creative thinker. She has introduced Geoff & Drew's Incredible Cookies to a world of both business and brand building opportunities beyond our conventional thinking. Her thorough analysis, research and documentation of our PR plan and strategy is enabling us to identify, uncover and execute on opportunities towards the establishment of the market leadership position for our cookie and confectionary gift company with consumers and corporate customers alike.”

“We initially hired Marlo to re-launch Grafton Street in early 2002, quickly realizing the value she brought to all of our establishments. While the amount of editorial coverage her team is able to consistently obtain for all of our locations is impressive, the added-value that they deliver — from private parties to new business relationships to marketing and advertising — has cemented marlo marketing/communications’ importance in our business’ continued growth. Knowing we have found a true marketing partner, someone we can trust on every level, is worth every cent.”

Every contact with her and her staff has been handled professionally and we would be delighted to recommend this team of public relations experts."
