I would not have been prepared had it not been for your efforts. Thank you also from the bottom of my heart for coaching me for the Executive Leaders Radio Interview. I would have never managed without your prep and on-site coaching!"
– Ameet Shah, CEO, Conigent, Haddonfield
“We interviewed several PR firms in the spring of 2005, but selected ImPRessions, because Jackie’s proactive approach directly fit our firm’s. In the time we’ve been working with Jackie, she arranged ongoing tips series by our firm in the Courier-Post. This led to being asked by the Business Editor to join the Courier-Post’s select Human Resource panel, which resulted in two appearances on CN-8’s “Money Matters” show and several feature articles. We’re getting great visibility in South Jersey and Philadelphia. Jackie also placed bylined feature articles in national Training & Development and Training magazines, and achieved feature coverage for Team Builders Plus in the Philadelphia Business Journal. Her work is really paying off for us. In the first six months of 2006, we experienced the largest increase of new clients in our global firm’s 15-year history.”

"I just wanted to reach out to you and thank you for the experience you gave me while I was working with you. I graduated from Rowan University Cum Laude this spring and have just gotten hired for a full time position with a security company starting their first in-house PR and writing department. I felt you had a big part in helping me achieve this seeing as I had to write a press release for them debuting a product before they reviewed me for getting the position. Everything you taught me about PR writing helped me write my best."
– Alaina Wezel, Rowan University Class of 2013

A Sampling of Success Stories
Helped a financial services company enter into new target industries through extensive media relations, resulting in hundreds of press clippings, helping to contribute over $80 million in sales. At the same time, enabled client to maintain its leadership presence in an industry in which it was facing strong industry departure rumors. Assisted in boosting employee morale during major restructuring, through frequent dissemination of internal communications.
Successfully positioned association as the primary source in its industry for economic information, despite competition from much larger rival. Results included quotes in Fortune, on the front page of The Wall Street Journal and ongoing columns in major national trade publications. Calls for speeches and economic consultations increased dramatically.
Educated millions about an often misdiagnosed, debilitating disease via prominent feature coverage in a daily newspaper that was subsequently distributed by the Gannett News Service to all of its daily newspapers across North America. The reporter and ImPRessions’ client received numerous phone calls from individuals for whom the information was relevant, noting they were bringing the newspaper article to their doctors. The reporter said that she had never received such a response from an article, and the paper re-ran the article online as a public service.
Shaped a news angle for a seemingly non-newsworthy school computer donation, resulting in extensive newspaper, TV and radio coverage.
Helped a client achieve bookings from organizations which wouldn’t book her prior to seeing news coverage. Positive features in The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Magazine and two other local publications over a three-month period provided the credibility needed to book the business.
Launched the introduction of a high-tech manufacturer of high-speed variable printing software and hardware to rave reviews and extensive, local and national press coverage.
