Honors and Accomplishments

Winston Communications generates print, broadcast, and online coverage for small and mid-sized businesses.

Results for clients, from large to small.

  • My PR work helped introduce CitiBank to the countries of South America.
  • My campaign and materials for Alamo Rent A Car generated a 50% increase in inquiries.
  • A recruiting magazine and ads I put together for a large university generated a record increase in inquiries.
  • A Public Relations/media campaign for The Florida Panthers National Hockey League Team resulted in record-breaking events by its charitable foundation.
  • My Public Relations/Media Relations campaigns helped Youfit Health Clubs grow from 5 local clubs to over 125 across the country.
  • I generated record-setting media coverage for the international corporation at which I worked before starting Winston Communications. More media coverage in my eight years there, in fact, than the company had generated in the previous 20+ years. And I also trained every senior- and mid-level executive (including the Founder/Chairman of the Board) for interviews, speeches, presentations, etc.

Since opening Winston Communications, however, I’ve worked exclusively with smaller businesses…

A good example is the cherished museum/historical facility for whom I doubled the gifting and endowments programs in just a few months. And the charitable foundation for whom I started a very successful media program, generating hundreds of “hits” in print and broadcast media in the U.S. and abroad…and a huge jump in contributions. And the eyeglass/vision center and the real estate business and the attorneys and the health clubs who were among the clients I got on TV…
