What We Do | Our Clients | Testimonials

Hear what some of our clients have had to say:


"It's often said that good PR is more than just a press release, but the key is knowing what needs to be done and how to get it done. From making the pitch, to establishing relationships, to keeping a reporter keyed in on the needs of the organization, to coaching Senior Management, Brian epitomizes what you should expect from a PR professional."

Gregg Fischer, Second Vice President, Marketing
Pan-American Life


"Do you want to gain someone's attention? Do you want to entertain them and train them all at the same time? Do you want them to have fun and remember your product or idea?

"Our challenge was to train sales representatives and retailers in the features and benefits of our floor covering products, to capture their attention and, while laughing, remember what they heard and saw. Brian Oberkirch presented the ideas and wrote the scripts for two of our most successful training videos. Many of the trainings occurred after a long work day. Even the most weary stayed awake. The reception to our trainings was enthusiastic with the common comment of, 'This was enjoyable and I learned something too.'

"Brian presented our product with style and humor. It is appreciated by us and our customers."

Oliver Stanchfield
Strategic Marketing
Pergo, Inc.


"We've been working with Brian for over two years. Yes, he's a great writer and understands marketing and PR. But, his greatest strength has been the deep understanding of our marketing strategy (actually, he has helped shape it) and the translation of that strategy into marketing and PR activities that have communicated the meaning of our brand to our clients and prospective clients. I've worked with a lot of people in a lot of agencies over the years, and Brian is definitely the best."

Roger Gates, President
DSS Research


“Brian put together a cost-effective PR program that established TelecomCareers.net as the leading voice on anything to do with the telecom labor market. His work got my start-up on the map with national coverage in BusinessWeek, Entrepreneur, the Wall Street Journal and Investor’s Business Daily and all our top trades.”

Quinn Jones, CEO
