Franci Richardson Ellement is effective. She has great newspaper contacts and unmet understanding of how to place stories in an array of media outlets. We signed with her two days before opening night and were able to secure prime online coverage at boston.com for the evening. Abby Park has also been featured prominently in several other newspapers in just the short time since then. We are currently working on a marketing plan together to bring in even more customers. — Vance Welch, partner, Abby Park Restaurant

The R.E. Group shows a great deal of initiative in getting the word out to the public of our agency’s work. Franci works closely with her clients and listens carefully to what they need as she develops resources and ideas which can accomplish the goals we mutually set. She is creative and energetic and uses her ability to ask insightful questions and make connections in order to further her clients’ marketing needs. Our agency has not used such a service in the past and we find that we have been able to get the kind of exposure we were seeking as a result of her style, personality and commitment to doing a good job. — Dafna Krouk-Gordon, President, TILL, Inc.
