Kudos from My Clients, Colleagues & Press
I hate to boast about my work, so I’ll allow some colleagues, former managers, clients and some of the members of the press do so…
“I sought help from public relations professional Marie Domingo (@MarieADomingo) and I wasn’t sorry. Marie knew about WinPatrol and understood that Scotty the Windows Watchdog wasn’t getting the attention he deserved. I’ve been pleased seeing myself and WinPatrol getting a lot more mentions than normal and in some serious press. So, I’m happy with some mention in the press and even happier that I had over 100,000 downloads around the world last week. While word of mouth has been good for spreading the word about WinPatrol I guess it never hurts to have some professional help.” — Bill Pytlovany, founder, WinPatrol (client), March 22, 2009
“I loved working with Marie. We developed several creative and very cost-effective “slidecasts” to capture customer benefit stories. She’s always full of great ideas!” –Ralph Bond, press relations , Autodesk (former colleague), May 31, 2008
“I’ve been very impressed with Marie’s dedication, hard work and knowledge of the business. She’s a pleasure to work with and is willing to do what it takes to drive results. Marie’s a consummate team player. I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again.” — Henry Brulay, senior marketing manager, Autodesk (former colleague), May 27, 2008
“I’ve worked with Marie in a role where she handled my PR relations with the press. Marie is detailed oriented, handled all of the coordination and prep, and made it simple for me and my peers to work with the media. She always makes herself available, solves issues before they become problems, and is very adept at making everyone feel important in the conversation. I would gladly work with Marie again in the future.” — Eric Stover, product line manager, Autodesk (former business partner/colleague), May 20, 2008
“Marie is one of the most aggressive and creative media relations gurus I’ve known, and is willing to go to great lengths to get great coverage. She is one of the few individuals I’ve met that truly uses PR as a competitive weapon, and is not afraid of original, scrappy, guerrilla PR to get it done. She also is willing to coach people both more junior and more senior to her and is very generous about her time.” – Aaron Cohen, senior manager, corp comms, Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance Employees (former colleague, Sun Microsystems), July 23, 2007
“I’ve worked with Marie in two different companies, Sun and HP. I have always been impressed with Marie’s industry insider attitude toward her work, particularly in consumer and entertainment PR. Marie knows the technologies and she knows the players, and with her unique perspective, and outstanding communications skills, she is an indispensable asset to whatever company or agency she works for.” — Joel Postman, principal Socialized PR, (former director, CSG, Hewlett Packard; former senior speech writer for Scott McNealy/CEO, Sun Microsystems), August 2, 2006
“Marie is a joy to work with - she crafts the perfect pitch, and the perfect people to pitch it too. Also, she knows everyone - and everyone has something good to say about her.” — Dushka Zapata, executive vice president, Ogilvy Public Relations (former EVP, Edelman) — September 5, 2005
“Marie’s brilliance in defining and positioning public relations is unparalled. She combines this expertise with a deep understanding of business priorities and requirements. Her work always assured success within the company and within herself. Her spunk and can do attitude have made working with Marie a great treat and I would gladly work with Marie again!” — Jennifer Winger, marketing programs manager, Sun Microsystems, Inc. (former colleague), May 26, 2005
“I’ve turned to Marie for PR help many, many times over the past few years and have always found her to be the consummate professional. Marie can cover a wide range of technology and truly knows the ins and outs of how the IT industry works. Beyond that, she’s just a bright spirit and a pleasure to be around.” – Ashlee Vance, reporter, The New York Times (former reporter, IDG News Service) , May 19, 2005
