Gary Brooten, APR recommends David Kirk
"I've known David Kirk for more than 25 years as a thoughtful, creative, hard-working and results-getting public relations pro. As VP-PR at CoreStates Financial Corp, before and after David became ThePRguy, I hired or recommended him for both projects and retainer work. He never missed a deadline or failed to deliver work of the highest quality. He’s one of the best public relations writers I know, but I especially valued his ability to think strategically in every situation, and to excel at every stage of a project or program from research through planning and execution to evaluation."

Ben Bamford recommends David Kirk
“David's guidance has been invaluable to me as I tackle goals for $100 million projects. His attention and in-depth knowledge of my business serves to further enhance my ability to meet and overcome obstacles. It was obvious from the start that David was going to be an invaluable part of my team. I have worked with a number of consultants who were focused on telling me what I wanted to hear. As David is just as concerned about my business as I am he often tells me what I need to hear and for that I am grateful. My recommendation could not be more clear - engage David and you will have added a very important tool to you business's tool box.”

John Lines recommends David Kirk
"David is a creative, out-of-the-box thinker who brings extensive experience to his consulting assignments. He helps drive to the heart of the issue and illuminate solutions and new approaches. He is highly sought after for his advice and sound business thinking."
John Lines, Director, Community Relations, Lancaster General Health
“I like working with David Kirk for a couple of reasons, besides his good looks and personality:
- The projects we work on together feel solid. David brings a perspective that help and inspire me, to do my best for each client.
- He knows a lot of stuff. All kinds of stuff. From prior experience or from the vast amount of information stored in his head, or the latest thing he has found on the net. He is pretty amazing actually.
- He cuts through the bull and gets at the core of the project.
- Besides smart, he is quick.
- He can take a jumbled pile of words and ideas and make incredible prose, usually with very little editing.
- And did I say how clever he was? Probably not. And if he was writing this rather than me, it would sound a whole lot better. Hey David, could you rewrite this before you put in your references please, so I sound smart?
PS. I have not only hired David for our stuff, in fact mostly I hire him to work with our clients.”
