What People are Saying

"I'd like to take the opportunity to tell you about my friends Scott Sobel and his team at Media & Communications Strategies, LLC and the MAC Strategies team. In my prior life, I used their services several times, with excellent results, including interviews on national NPR, being featured in the Washington Post, SF Chronicle, and other impressive and targeted legal trade publications. I have gotten to enjoy them as friends as well as collaborators and have always particularly valued getting into discussion with them to sharpen my message, making it a more effective media sell. I'm sure you'll see that they're neat people, and even though they're based in DC, they have contacts all over."
