Testimonials:

"When adidas wanted to enter the outdoor category, we turned to CGPR for three main reasons -- they not only understood how to introduce a global brand into a niche community and communicate its authenticity, but also clearly knew that there were steps we had to take far beyond public relations. They paid great attention to our financial goals and our distribution plan. They became our business partner, far beyond a PR firm at the end of a phone line that just writes press releases. For a solid strategic thinking, I would wholeheartedly recommend CGPR."
- Greg Thomsen
Managing Director North America
adidas Outdoor

"Eastern Mountain Sports partners with CGPR because they understand how to support the evolution of a brand and driving business. CGPR does much more than generate media placements. Chris and her team provide valuable business counsel that has been an asset to us as we return Eastern Mountain Sports to its roots. I couldn't think of better business partner. CGPR is not a vendor. They are family."
- Will Manzer
CEO, Eastern Mountain Sports

"W.L. Gore & Associates has been working with CGPR for 10 years. We appreciate the agency's ability to think strategically and provide thoughtful, sound ideas that reinforce our business strategy. CGPR has solid relationships with national and business media that have gone a long way to raise our visibility with audiences important to meeting our product goals. We appreciate Chris and her team's tenacity, dedication and ability to think differently, often suggesting ideas and or concepts that we would have not considered on our own. CGPR is more than a agency providing a service, her team has proved to be a long term partner."

"On behalf of the Perfect Team we want to thank you for the amazing job you did with the media tour. I know I'm not the only one that felt like it went very smoothly with a limited amount of cancellations. I attribute this to your hard work, perseverance, and friendly attitude. You made it happen! With an event like this, there are many variables to manage and you guys balanced it all with grace and of course a bit of humor. We were able to show the media the depth of our brand. Chris, thanks for putting together a great team and providing guidance on all the details. It was a pleasure working together and not only did we accomplish our goals for the event but we had fun doing it.
Thanks for all your hard work!"

"I chose CGPR because I was looking for someone who could help guide Mariah Power into the commercial world at a reasonable cost. The PR plan and approach has exceeded my expectations on a regular basis."
- Mike Hess
Founder and CEO, Mariah Power

"CGPR was the best experience I've had of a professional PR firm to date. The commitment they showed and the quality of their work was top notch, from the quality of writing to the frequency of contact to the little extras that make such a difference over a year. They are uniquely positioned with great experience in the trade show side of the business, which is not easy to find.

CGPR has excellent staff, and key account management experience in the core outdoor business world; they also have many accounts outside of the core specialty business, which helps bring perspective to the table. It is meaningful that CGPR supports key industry leadership events, which sets them apart from the pack. I would recommend CGPR to any company looking for insightful, professional support from a PR firm."

"Chris's team is one of the best we've dealt with in terms of working with us to ensure their clients receive appropriate and solid coverage in stories we are working on. Few other firms can match the exposure CGPR garners for their clients with major media either, which demonstrates Chris's leadership in ensuring her team is well-connected and abreast of what the media needs sometimes even before we know we need it."
- Michael Hodgson
Publisher / Editor, Specialty NEWS (SNEWS®)

"CGPR has a wealth of expertise in PR strategy and relations. They helped establish us as a leader in our sector, and guided us confidently through many good times as well as a few challenges. CGPR sticks by their clients for the long run, and when there's something big they really put their hearts and minds into it with 110%. A dedicated and professional group to work with, I would recommend CGPR."
