Susan is definitely a world-class PR professional. She is exceptionally strong with senior level council and with developing strategy. Susan has the talent of being able to set the high level vision and get things executed flawlessly. One of the biggest strengths I’ve found working with Susan is she can adapt on the fly as plans change and make strategic decisions to ensure the high impact results are still happening. I highly recommend Susan!

Every PR event Susan worked on was a hands down winner. Susan’s first PR event with us was in 2001 for the opening night of Black Cat Gallery. The show packed out wall to wall with the right art minded/collecting people and word made it to many people outside my promoting circle. My clients, friends, and associates were all in/around the Malibu/West LA area. Aurelito Mercado, one of LA’s great promoters and spin doctors, said word was hot about the Black Cat Gallery opening in his Silverlake/Downtown area. This was by Susan’s hand. Black Cat Gallery was awarded, “One of LA’s Best Galleries” in LA Times Magazine in 2003, after only 2 years in business, and a full page review in LA Weekly for Black Cat Festival II in 2006. I believe kicking off the gallery with the right PR person helped bring in this recognition. Susan is one of the easiest people to be around and work with. Professional yet easy going, practical and inspiring. What else do you want? If you want the job done right the first time with 0 drama and have a fun go of it hire Susan!

I have worked both with Susan and been a client of hers. She is a Public Relations Pro. Her media connections and strategic PR planning attracted me to work with her, however, it was what she delivered and how she delivered that kept us working together. Susan has a great ability to define what is required and build the strategy to achieve objectives. She is extremely adaptable and comes up with creative solutions. I look forward to the opportunity when we can work together again in the future.

Susan was a huge help to me in my career. She taught me several key insights into not just PR technique but PR philosophy that I continue to use today. When she joined Bodog, she come from a music background and didn’t understand the gambling industry but in a short amount of time, she could “hang with the boys” when it come to the gambling industry. It’s a testament to her dedication to the craft of PR. I would happily have Susan on my team or be a part of any team that has Susan as a leader.

I worked alongside Susan when she hired Naked Ape PR to handle the launch of Bodog to the UK. She led the way with senior level direction and a clear strategy, while all the time keeping the media relations programme both entertaining and interesting. We ran several Bodog sponsored events and media campaigns and were always reassured that Susan was with us every step of the way to ensure success. She made running PR campaigns smoothly and successfully look effortless (while we all know they can usually be quite challenging). I can honestly say it was a pleasure to work with Susan, and I would recommend her skills and experience at the highest level.

Back in the early ’90s when Susan and I each started out in PR, I had the good fortune of splitting client accounts with her. Susan has gone on to be a very successful publicist and a force to be reckoned with. Susan consistently delivers for her clients…and then some. She is a pleasure to work with, and I would love to join forces with her again on any project.

Susan is a tireless and brilliant PR strategist who I strongly recommend. You can’t go wrong by hiring her if she is available.
Kevin Spidel
Susan is a professional. She comes with wonderful contacts and the ability to maneuver the many different personalities that came with the campaign. She is all about executing on deadline and with a big bang. I can’t wait to work with her again.

It was a delight to work with Susan at Island. Her spirit, strategy, creativity, and fearlessness were great assets to the projects we worked on together. Anyone who has an opportunity to work with Susan should be very, very pleased with the results!

Susan and I have a lot of history, and I have always been impressed with her efficiency + enthusiasm
