"James is the best PR person I've worked with, hands down. He ramps up quickly, leverages his media contacts and secures strong wins on a consistent basis. James knows the business of media and PR, but most importantly he takes time to understand your business, and become a highly competent voice for the company during the pitching process. I highly recommend James and look forward to working with him again."

"James is a very skilled PR practitioner who focuses on delivering strategies and tactics that support his client's business objectives. While working with James, I was always impressed by his ability to find the "news" for clients, oftentimes when they couldn't identify it themselves. His media relations skills are exceptional; he was known for developing and sustaining relationships with some of the most demanding journalists.
He routinely balanced the complexities of advancing a client's story with the focus of reporters with precision; the result was always mutual benefit for the client and the reporter. James is the kind of leader you want on your team."
