Andy coordinated a very successful book tour to six hospitals across the U.S. He tenaciously pitched, sought press opportunities and followed-up from six months prior to the book’s release to eight months post-release, ultimately securing a combined publicity reach of nearly 103 million (circulation + impressions).
As a first-time author (“Closets, Combat & Coming Out,” Blue Beacon Books of RCE, 2014) working via an independent LGBT publisher, Andy got me coverage and reviews of my book that I could’ve never gotten on my own, including my very first cover! I’m looking to work with a larger publisher for my next project and I know that the amount of major press that I was able to land with Popular Publicity for my first book will legitimize me and help me move to the next level.
Andy – you have really done a great job, and may I just say again you’re my favorite publicist I’ve worked with this year!
“My experience working with you, was my best experience hiring outside help for my business growth. The impact you brought me was quite quick, and a very useful investment. Thank you for delivering such strong results.” brandenhayward.com, branden@brandenhayward.com
We hope for this to be the beginning of a long term relationship with Andy. When we purchased MGA in February we did so with some grand ideas and exciting plans, one of which was to get MGA the exposure it deserved. Andy has taken our vision and put it to action, and we are very grateful. Thank you for all you have done to help us advance Miss Gay America!
