Testimonials
“Today, myself and three others were interviewed at a Public Relations luncheon, and we praised Crimson in front of the entire room as being professional and wonderful to work with. I said that ‘you're the type of PR agency we like to work with.’”
Allison Demers, News Director, Lite 100.5 WRCH-FM
“I wanted to thank you and your team for the tremendous support yesterday during the i-phone launch. Please pass on my thanks and gratitude.”
Anthony Napolitano, Area Retail Sales Manager, AT&T

Greg Morago, Fashion Editor, The Hartford Courant

Testimonials
“You are all so great to work with and we were so pleased with the turnout. I hope that we have an opportunity to continue working together on such wonderful events.”
Mary Pat Caputpo, Director of PR, Bristol Hospital
“We had tons of press (thanks Crimson!) and it was probably the most organized CT Idol I've been to yet because of the great communication everyone had.”
Robyn Fritz, WTIC-TV, FOX 61
“It was great to meet you and your team. What a great event you put together. There were so many happy families and kids galore.”
Luke Fontneau, Publicity, Warnor Bros. Pictures
“Frankly as much as I would love to take the credit, it's all Crimson. It's a function of time that needs to be spent against it and frankly the expertise. With a local PR firm they are constantly talking to the local media and can keep up with all the changes that are always taking place (people coming and going, changing roles, etc.). They spend their time on a daily basis building the relationships for their clients with the local media. I personally feel that the money spent with a local PR firm (assuming they are as hands on and deliver the same type of results as Crimson) is the absolute best spend when we are looking for nontraditional ways to create buzz and excitement.”
Wendy Haggerty, Immediate Past Marketing Director, Westfarms
