Client Testimonials

“EMSI played a crucial role in my
campaign for Teamster President. Through their efforts I appeared on talk
shows in virtually every media market and they secured television and print
coverage wherever I campaigned! They really know all the angles!”

Jim Hoffa, Jr.

“I cannot say enough good things
about this experience. I am excited to say I have had a huge increase in
traffic!! If you need someone to stand on a street corner and tell the world how
great you guys are, count me in!”

Richard Neumann, Stone
In The Surf Press

“I had a horrible experience with a publicist. I paid them a big retainer month after month with little to show for it. My publisher recommended the team at EMSI. They are pay for performance. You only pay for what they book. The cost is very reasonable. You can specify what media, markets and your monthly budget. They are very professional - a real pleasure to work with. And the best part - within two weeks they had me begging for mercy I was so covered up in media! They are brilliant”

Kim Snider Financial Success Coach

“The EMSI staff is unsurpassed, their
work is phenomenal. Whether it be radio, TV or print — your campaign is in the
best hands. Deciding to work with EMSI was easy, and everything after that
decision was golden.”

Nicole Rocheleau,
Best-Selling Author

“As a former TV news anchor, I know
the power of publicity campaigns. We have worked with more than fifty public
relations professionals and firms over the past thirty years and EMSI has
out-performed some of the best-known ‘names’ in the business. Equivalent air
time on a commercial basis would have cost my client ten to twenty times as much
as the EMSI campaign.”

Charles Ward, Managing
Director
IdeaWorks

“As an author looking to get his message out and a business owner in the publishing industry there was a great deal of trial and error for me with publicists before I found EMSI. The folks at EMSI have gone far beyond the role of a typical publicity firm in having an entire team of dedicated experts to maximize each media channel available for me in it’s own right and then developing concentrated success for me in each one. You are just not going to find this kind of approach anywhere else. Choosing EMSI has been the one decision I have made that became the turning point in my career and the success that has come with it! They have made all the difference for me.”

Chris Gibson,
Best Selling Author

“EMSI is the best publicity firm I’ve
worked with. I couldn’t be more pleased with the quantity and especially the
quality of shows they scheduled for one of my best-selling authors.”

Lila Karpf, Literary
Agent

“I highly recommend EMSI for their
professional dedication in promoting my book. I appeared on over 40 radio shows
around the country and my book was reviewed in USA Today, The NY Post, The
NY Sun, and dozens of newspapers and magazines.”

Cherie Calbom,
Best-Selling Author

“I got great results from the work
EMSI did for me. I’ve used other publicity firms in the past, but have enjoyed
my relationship with them the most. For my next marketing campaign, I will
definitely be using them again. They know their business — they’re really sharp
and a great group to work with.”

Michael Janson, M.D.,
President
American Preventive Medical AssociationBest-Selling

“We’ve been very pleased with the
breadth of the shows EMSI has obtained for us - both in terms of the geographic
coverage and the quality of audience they put us in front of. We’re seeing a
great response from both the radio and TV audience in terms of sales and impact
on our retail outlets.”

Frank Jordan, CEONutrition
Supply Corporation

“We’re absolutely thrilled with the
work EMSI completed on our account. All the radio interviews were of high
quality, with prepared, engaged hosts, and booked on stations in markets of
importance to us. There’s no question we will engage with you again for future
campaigns.”

John McNeilly, Manager
of Corporate CommunicationsOdyssey Marine Exploration

“I am delighted with the personalized
attention and the results delivered by Event Management Services, Inc. Our print
and radio campaigns have resulted in immediate, tangible results in national
media!”

Karlin Sloan, CEO
Karlin Sloan & Company

“I cannot express how pleased I am
with what you have done. My team and I have been using your strategy to explain
the reason for the book to people who have refused to read it in the past…now
they are interested in it!”

John Lenhart

“The fellow that interviewed me in
Boston went nuts about how fabulous EMSI is. He said he has been a host for 35
years and EMSI is absolutely the best.”

David Phillips
Phillips Financial Services

“I absolutely trust EMSI’s instincts
with what sells on radio and TV. My product is geared more towards a TV market,
so they placed me on a national show and we doubled our money. The team also
implemented a print campaign that is currently still placing me in periodicals.
I am very pleased with their work and I would highly recommend them for your
campaign — they don’t just take anyone.

Jaime Brenkus
8 Minute Abs

“I have enjoyed a 4 year relationship
with EMSI and I plan on using them for a long time. I know a top-notch PR firm
when I find one. I can’t say enough about them -– they do outstanding work,
their fees and fee structure are excruciatingly fair, and they are good, honest
people to boot!”

Renata J. Rafferty,
Principal
Rafferty Consulting Group

“We are thoroughly pleased with the
radio publicity campaign EMSI did for our artists. They arranged more talk radio
interviews than we could have possibly projected — all quality shows in top
markets! Every detail was addressed in the most professional and productive
fashion with communication frequent and informative. They even called the day
before every show to cover any possible last minute problems. We loved dealing
with the staff at EMSI!”

Chris Palmer, VP
Progressive Music
Warner Bros./ Reprise Records

“Shortly after a radio interview
arranged by EMSI, my ranking at Amazon greatly improved. Seeing the needle move
so quickly is direct evidence that this is the most affordable and effective way
to promote your book. Thanks EMSI for delivering such great results in such a
short time”

Joe Graedon
Nationally Syndicated columnist

“We were amazed and delighted at the
reception to us on talk radio. They played numerous cuts from our new CD for
lovers only… and the call-in’s from listeners were a thrill. There are many
artists out there, old and new, that would benefit greatly from this format.”

Otis Williams, Vocalist
The Temptations

“The joy The Temptations experienced
from all the talk radio interviews was wonderful to see, but most important was
the great response we saw in CD sales as a result of this campaign. Every facet
of the project was handled professionally and successfully by EMSI.”

Oscar E. Fields
General Manager, Motown Records

“EMSI is the best in the business.”

Earl Mindell
Best-Selling Author

“We’ve used a number of publicists,
but none ever gave us the spectacular results achieved by EMSI. We’ve actually
had to tell them to cut back from time to time because we couldn’t keep up with
all the interviews they scheduled.”

Mark Skousen
Best-Selling Author

“EMSI represented me during the
publication of my football-related novel. They were able to place me on
‘drive-time’ radio sports talk shows in just about every city with a National
Football league franchise. As a result the book has sold well. I would recommend
EMSI to anyone seeking to promote any sort of product. The fees are fair, and
the results are more likely to be rewarding.”

Bradford Dillman
Well-Known Actor and Best-Selling Author

“The most remarkable thing about my
experience with them, other than their incredible professionalism, was how much
my partners and I feel we accomplished on a relatively small budget.”

Howard Leventhal, CEO
Primecom Interactive

“Let’s face it, getting national
airplay, TV appearances, and distribution is hard to do, but the great teamwork
of EMSI made it happen for me!”

Jaci Rae
Award-Winning Country Music Artist

“EMSI works! It’s amazing the
industry connections they have, the doors they’ve opened, and the access they’ve
brought to my doorstep. The quality and quantity of their delivery is absolutely
top notch. Highly recommended!”

Scott Kelby
#1 Bestselling Computer and Technology Book Author

“We chose EMSI over larger, more
expensive New York firms because they produce results. They are an outstanding
organization and have constantly booked as many high quality radio interviews as
we can possibly handle.”

Kathleen Juhl, Business
Manager
National Taxpayers Union

“The toughest part of making a book a
hit is getting it in front of the decision makers in the media… the producers!
The rapport EMSI has with producers across America spells results for publishers
of all sizes.”

Benjamin Dover
Best Selling Author

“I’ve worked with other PR firms, but
none have been as creative or efficient as EMSI.”

Gordon Melchor, CEO
East Park Research

“I couldn’t recommend a publicity
firm higher. Not only did they deliver on what was promised, but they far
exceeded all our expectations.”

Barry Weiner, President
Media for Doctors

“The media tour EMSI arranged
generated incredible traffic for us and the demand created by the press coverage
opened up additional stores in the area! We count our expenditures with EMSI as
our best investment.”

Lydia Robertson,
President
Health Pharm, USA

“Of all those who participated with
us in promoting our message and materials — EMSI is the first ever to actually
read our books! Your credibility and sincerity no other firm has been able to
achieve. All of this added to your relentless pursuit of follow-up gets the job
done.”

Dave Engstrom, President
Winning Publications

“This is an unsolicited, unequivocal
recommendation and a testimonial to a publicity firm that has done wonders for a
book I recently wrote… (which) despite rave reviews in The Wall Street
Journal, Fortune and elsewhere… was getting very little attention from the
electronic media. I contacted EMSI and almost immediately they booked me on
twenty-five radio programs, many on major stations in major markets. Their fees
are extremely reasonable and they are incredibly responsive — whenever I call
with a request or a question, they deal with it instantly and appropriately.”

Steven E. Landsburg,
Professor of Economics
Rochester University

“At the end of my taped interview the
host congratulated me on hiring EMSI to represent me. He told me that over the
past thirty years he has been pitched by all of the top PR firms out of New York
and Los Angeles but that you guys are the best he has ever worked with.
Congratulations.”

William H. Roetzheim,
CEO
Level 4 Press, Inc.

“EMSI has set themselves apart from
other publicity firms. They arranged great in-depth interviews for my authors on
very high quality shows. I only pay for interviews they book, making it all very
affordable.”

Hiroko Kiiffner,
Publisher
Lake Isle Press

“EMSI is a very professional
organization and I recommend them highly. They lined me up with great interviews
to promote my book. Their service was terrific and very first class.”

Carlo D’Este
Best-Selling Author

“We’re received hundreds of phone
calls. Fred Meyer stores and Safeway got bombarded with calls
as well! In fact, we had originally been scheduled to start shipping to Fred
Meyer sometime in May, but they were so inundated with phone calls as a
result of our radio and television appearances they called to ask me what we had
done to make their phones ring off the hook! Thanks to the media you booked for
us, we’re shipping product to them next week, six weeks earlier than planned!”

Soy Nut Butter Company

“The media tour your firm arranged
for Snore No More’s Dallas launch was a huge success! The television
and radio interviews in addition to the newspaper coverage all generated
incredible floor traffic for the chain of stores that were part of the original
rollout. The original stores have ordered twice since then and the demand
created by the media coverage has opened up additional stores.”

Snore No More

“For a company like ours, struggling
for awareness in the food and natural health industry, a PR firm like EMSI has
been a godsend! Our marketing dollars are now spent very effectively.”

New Organics Company

“As a result of the publicity you put
together for us, we’ve not only increased our direct sales, but our stores are
calling to restock their shelves and we’ve obtained more distributors! In the
past we’ve tried all kinds of marketing, advertising and public relations
schemes, but this has been by far more productive. Hiring EMSI is clearly the
best thing our company ever did.”

Dr. William Wong

Media Testimonials

“I believe I have published every
press release you have sent. Your releases are so well written (which I love)
that I have found little or no need to edit. I run them as you send them.”

Carla Kalip
Hometown Times DeKalb

“I’ve dealt with hundreds of publicists over the years, but EMSI
is definitely one of the best. With other firms I often receive old information
or faxes I can’t read. With EMSI I always get a heads-up phone call about who’s
booked the next day with accurate facts and phone numbers so I’m never
scrambling!

And, not only does Event Management Services provide me with
great guests and thorough research, but their presentation about their guests is
always so impressive. Pitching guests is clearly an art with your company.

In short, doing business with EMSI is consistently wonderful! I
always know I’ll have an entertaining and informative guest and that
interviewing them (thanks to your help) is going to be a breeze. My compliments
to a first class organization and a job always well done.”

Pat Farnack
Nationally Syndicated Talk Radio Host

“The most important thing to me when
dealing with a publicist is their ability to talk to me about a guest without
giving me the hard sell. Speaking with EMSI is always a pleasant experience. I
find myself always returning their calls as they are fun people to talk to and
work with. Great people, great guests.”

Executive Producer
“The G. Gordon Liddy Show”

“You guys are terrific to work with.
Your follow-up and consistent efficiency make booking your clients a pleasure.
You always send me the stuff I need, and you do the chasing for me!”

Producer
KIRO-FM Radio, Seattle

“After being in the field of
television production for nine years, I had literally stopped taking calls from
any publicists or PR firms. I became tired of dealing with pushy and demanding
attitudes and tactics. Then I encountered EMSI, professionals who are a
producer’s dream. Their clients are always exactly what they say they are,
always prepared, interesting, on time, and always have something unusual or
cutting-edge to offer my program. The management team is exemplary in their
attitude and courtesy.”

Mike Cavanagh, Host
WSB Radio, Atlanta

“As the producer of a top-rated,
highly successful national television show, I usually have a waiting list of
guests, but I often find myself re-arranging my schedule to accommodate an EMSI
client. I give them my highest recommendation for their quality guests, high
standards, and integrity in this business.”

Barbara Hoffman,
Producer
Trinity Broadcasting Network

“I am constantly impressed by the
professionalism, efficiency, and TV savvy of EMSI. The guests they bring to us
are bright, articulate and ‘good TV’ — not to mention, an ‘easy book” for an
overworked producer. Who could ask for anything more?”

Jennifer Boyd, Assoc
Producer
FOX-TV, Tampa

“EMSI has always shown a high degree
of organization with their projects. There has never been any confusion
regarding each show booked. Very thorough, very prepared. Their staff is a
personal and professional pleasure to deal with.”

Vince Hill, News Anchor
KYW Radio, Philadelphia

“EMSI can always be counted upon for
top-notch, radio-friendly subjects represented by seasoned professionals that
always deliver the show our listeners anticipate. A very dependable company.”

Greg Jena, Exec Producer
KDKA Radio, Pittsburgh

“One of the most professional,
pleasant and organized companies I’ve dealt with to date.”

Executive Producer
Donahue

“Not only has EMSI consistently
provided me with entertaining and informative guests, they’ve also come through
for me with little or no notice when my scheduled guests have canceled and left
me in a lurch. I highly recommend them for conscientious talk show producers.”

Barack Echols, Exec
Producer
WJJD Radio, Chicago

“It’s a pleasure working with EMSI.
They are totally professional and went all out to be sure we were totally
“armed” with all the information we needed to do a thoroughly informative and
interesting interview!”

George Carden, Reporter
(700 Club) Christian Broadcasting Network

“EMSI has always been a pleasure to
deal with. They’re very attentive towards my show needs and their follow-up is
superb. EMSI only calls when the subject matter is proper for the theme of my
show. Very professional and understanding at all times.”

Alf Nucifora, Host
WSB Radio, Atlanta

“EMSI is always there to help
whenever we call. Their press releases are informative and provide us with
everything we need to know about booking the show. They’ve never given us a
guest who was a contradiction from the original press release! They’re reliable,
efficient and have consistently presented us with a wide range of topics to
choose from and the highest quality of guests.”

Elizabeth Romano,
Producer
WJR Radio, Detroit
