Testimonials

 
I’ve worked with Leanne since 2005, originally as agency colleagues representing Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts in our respective markets, and then when I set up my own London agency in 2010 she became my go-to for clients wanting trustworthy, results-driven and flexible support in the USA. Leanne is a dream to work with. She’s brilliant at strategising story angles and advising clients on how to penetrate the US media elite, she has long-standing friendships with top editors and journalists and is an amazing team player seamlessly integrating and adapting to work alongside other agencies. She is kind, reliable and with great integrity (which goes a long way in my book) so any brand would be lucky to have her support.
— Daisy Bird, Founder & CEO, BIRD Travel PR (UK)

With exceptional communication skills and strong media relationships, Leanne is proactive, detail-oriented and consistently delivers. Her collaborative spirit and passion for the accounts she works on make her an invaluable asset for any business. Leanne’s passion and commitment to our brand’s success are commendable and I highly recommend her for any public relations project.
— Chris Orlikowski, Director of Global Communications - Mandarin Oriental
Throughout the many years we’ve worked together, Leanne has always been the consummate professional, representing her clients with smart, insightful knowledge. Her desire to truly understand a brand transfers seamlessly to her dealings with editors and writers; she doesn’t waste anyone’s time pitching a story idea that doesn’t fit the publication’s mission.
— Deborah Frank, Editor-in-Chief, LUXURY Magazine
Leanne is one of the most effective PR/Marketing pros today. She is creative, strategic and SERIOUSLY connected! Her campaigns are never cookie-cutter, but rather super tailored to meet company business end-goals. From awareness marketing through media, synergistic partnerships, to driving revenue she covers all bases. I cannot recommend (and THANK) her enough!
