Kraft, Founder and CEO of the Entertainment Career Connection
“Tremendous SEO and SEM
work! Mike doubled our leads and slashed our PPC costs by
two-thirds in year one. All indications are he's going to have similar
results in year two. His services have been the perfect antidote for
the current economic slowdown for our three websites:

“Kristin and Mike at
MarCom have helped me get my message across for myself and Children of
the City.org. They are absolutely efficient and incredibly proficient
in the field of SEO and SEM. I've seen huge results in the visibility
of my life's work in a very short period and I owe it to this wonderful
team.”

to work with Kristin and her great team at MarCom over the years and

Ingrid Carvalho,
Founder of Hawaii Vacation Rentals, Inc.
“Mike's been doing my SEO
work since 1996. Today my business is 100% online, with no PPC. My
websites consistently rank on Google's first page for Oahu vacation
rentals, Hawaii vacation rentals, Hawaii bed & breakfasts, and many
more targeted search terms. What I like best is that Mike spent
the time to understand my business before making suggestions and
improvements. He's not only been by SEO guy, he's one of the few people
in business I trust.

Ann Gray,
Publisher, LA Architect
Magazine
“As I am sure you will all
agree, this has been an amazing weekend and event. And none of it would
have taken place without MarCom Associates... Thank you, MarCom, for
the exceptional work in promoting our Downtown LA Design Walk on May
18th. What began as a simple open house was made much more feasible
(and more fun) because of your work in reaching out to the business and
media communities. We especially appreciated the massive media blitz
you did immediately prior to the event, which resulted in outstanding
coverage both before and after. It was a pleasure working with you.”
(June, 2003)
Tonia Craig, Producer,
American Veteran Awards Show
“I am writing with regards
to MarCom Associates. Two words, "Do it!" MarCom has been associated
with the American Veteran Awards for seven years and have been key
players in helping to take our awards show to the next level. Our show
this year was held at the Regent Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills. All
I can say is that there was more press there than at the academy
awards. MarCom handled all facets of PR and did a great job. They are
now promoting our airdate on The History Channel and their ability to
get the word out is staggering. Their understanding of the current
trends and markets give them a significant advantage in presenting
releases to all media types. They have many contacts in various mediums
and are able to expose their clients to untapped resources that they
may not have been exposed to before. I hope that this gives you a
snippet into the world of MarCom. The company treats their clients with
the utmost respect and integrity. Their work ethic is top notch. You
will not be disappointed.”
(December 2003)
Keith Goodman, V. P.
Sales and Marketing ThinkDirectMarketing, Inc.
“I have spent 20 years in
high technology sales and marketing. I have spent almost ten of them
working with Kristin in one facet of marketing or another. It is great
working with someone who really has an understanding of the industry
and the use of public relations to maximize presence and revenues. The
organization that Kristin has put together is as professional as they
come. I would recommend them to anybody.”
Marynel Arbaugh,
Life.com and My Life software
“There was no question
about MarCom’s capabilities and her enthusiasm was unparalleled. We
forged ahead with little time to accomplish so much. The team proceeded
to immerse themselves into Life.com. In a matter of days, they had
produced several creative strategies for the LIFE campaign and event as
well as the corporate communications strategic plan for overall
branding and key message development. The results were impressive on
all counts. Their determination, dedication, creativity and wealth of
experience are qualities that have proved to be of tremendous value to
Life.com. There are few teams that I could so highly recommend!”
Ronald S. Posner,
Chairman, NetCatalyst, LLC
"I have brought Kristin
Gabriel several corporate and marketing communications projects and
clients to their firm, including Language, Inc. and
GlobalNetFinancial.com. MarCom worked closely with these emerging
e-commerce companies’ executive management teams to advise their Boards
and develop corporate communications strategy and tactics plans, press
materials and establish ground-up presence with the media.
Kristin also handled my personal publicity surrounding Board
affiliations with public companies including Beyond.com, Asymetrix
Learning Systems, Inc., a leading provider of Internet-based learning
solutions and SmallWorld.
I began actively working with Kristin when she was the corporate
communications director for CyberMedia, Inc. in 1998 when I was on the
executive committee of the Board of Directors. Kristin spearheaded
corporate communications during a time when the company was in crisis
mode. She managing the internal and external PR and IR teams and
provided a strategic internal and external analysis and a Fast Track IR
PR plan which were effective in communicating to the media and
shareholders and helped support the valuation for the company’s
eventual acquisition by Network Associates.” |
