"When we needed to develop a relationship with and research the intentions of a huge multi-national manufacturing corporation who could do business in our country we turned to Scott Sobel and his team. He came through with spectacular results and made the introduction and follow-up that possibly could lead to hundreds of jobs, possibly bolster tourism and eventually billions of dollars being pumped into our economy. His understanding of complex, international issues and public audiences, including media pressures, has led to potential great opportunities."
– Damir Vuvic, Executive Director, American Chamber of Commerce Croatia

– Chris Wrenn, COO and Managing Director HVB Americas

“As a former journalist Scott completely understands what reporters need to do their jobs and helps his clients develop relationships that result in stories of interest and benefit to all. His investigative background also allows him to work on the most complex media issues, understanding and digesting information, to best tell his client's point while being honest with the reporter. He is a PR person I can trust.”
– Louis Young, Senior Correspondent, CBS New York

“An important client with a national environmental issue needed help reshaping its image and reversing predominantly negative press. Scott Sobel and his team were immediately hands-on, learned the facts and challenges quickly and in a very short time generated relationships and stories that positively improved the client's national image with all levels of media. He persuaded journalists, politicians and celebrities alike to support our messages.”
– Guy Martin, Partner, Perkins Coie LLP

“The thought of talking to the national media was very intimidating. Christy (Stravolo Media Services – MCS Practice Partner) helped me refine my messages and coached me on how to use them during an interview. As a result, I felt confident and in control of each news interview I did and we (the Air Force) received substantial positive coverage on every national news network.”
