CLIENTS
“CommStrat fully grasped the value we add to publishers, advertisers, and users and expertly crafted compelling messaging that resonated with the business and trade press. The resulting press coverage and visibility had a profound impact on our business. FeedBurner is now a part of Google, and we believe that CommStrat made a significant contribution to our company’s success.”
DICK COSTOLO – FORMER CEO
“The nationwide press coverage CommStrat obtained for us was pivotal in enhancing our products’ credibility in the marketplace. Our successful media program was in large part responsible for the rapid expansion of our business.”
CISCO CONSUMER PRODUCTS
SIMON FLEMING-WOOD – VICE PRESIDENT
“CommStrat is a virtual extension of our marketing department. We trust their judgment implicitly and have confidence in their ability to execute complex programs, on target, with little oversight.”
LIMELIGHT NETWORKS
MICHAEL J SAWYER – VP OF MARKETING
“CommStrat has been the perfect agency for our newly-formed company as we have grown and changed over the last five years. They have built and maintained relationships with journalists on our behalf, helped us tell our company’s story effectively, and been a trusted source of guidance. They have secured critical coverage and helped us achieve key company goals.”
Hound Labs, Inc.
JENNY LYNN – CO-FOUNDER
“I have been absolutely amazed at the results we’ve gotten from CommStrat on a limited budget. I challenge anyone to match our return on PR investment. When I worked with large PR agencies, I got a little attention from the experienced staff and a lot of attention from the junior people. One of the benefits of working with CommStrat is the quality of thinking we receive from each member of the team.”
PURE DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
SIMON FLEMING-WOOD – VP OF MARKETING
“Communicating our message clearly and persuasively was one of the biggest challenges we faced as we reached out to multiple audiences from politicians to business leaders, teachers, and district administrators. CommStrat helped us simplify the complicated technical and policy background information into a focused and powerful call to action.”
EDUCATION SUPERHIGHWAY
EVAN MARWELL – CEO & FOUNDER
“As a startup with a brand new product set to launch, our company signed on with CommStrat and hit the ground running. They helped us create a three-stage announcement strategy that included a crowd sourcing / early adopter component, a CES pre-launch for momentum building, followed by a steady news cycle. CommStrat was there to advise us on everything from naming to positioning to media outreach.”
NUVYYO – TABLO
RENATA SCORSONE – VP OF MARKETING
“As a startup with bold ideas and big plans, we needed a PR agency that shared those same traits and we found it with the CommStrat team. From our company’s founding until our recent acquisition, CommStrat has been our strategic partner for public relations and communications, helping us to create differentiation amid a crowded and fast-changing market category.”
COTENDO
RONNI ZEHAV – CEO & CO-FOUNDER
“CommStrat is an ideal agency for companies that are establishing new product categories or completely new technologies. They understand that many young companies don’t need or want a big-budget traditional PR campaign. We were immediately impressed by their ability to think outside the box to maximize the return on our promotional spend.”
