"I highly recommend David for any public relations/communication project. He is a great listener, planner, writer and communicator. He brings his strong skill set and knowledge to the table along with a great sense of humor."

Rose Mili is corporate communications manager in the External Affairs Department of Christiana Care Health System.

“We originally engaged David in 2003. Crisis communication was his specialty, and we were certainly in a crisis. He responded immediately, freeing himself up for a meeting the following day, and arriving at the meeting thoroughly prepared with a self-study understanding of the industry, and research in hand. He helped us think through our communication needs internally and externally, performed primary research with our customers on the issue at hand, and promptly developed talking points for employees and the media. The crisis at hand could have had a significantly negative impact on our financial performance at that time, and David's work helped to avert that outcome. As a result of that, and many other successful projects over the next few years, we engaged David on retainer. He has performed a "customer relationship check- up" that is impacting our strategy development, the planning and implementation of a media relations strategy, a public affairs engagement for our industry association, and frequent copywriting projects from our Wedgewood Guide to the voice over for our online tour. David is the ultimate planner. Everything has its place within the scheme of things. When he make plans, they are detailed, logical and progressive (A before B, then B before C, etc.) Before he takes action, he has thought out all the possibilities and then decided on the most probable action to take. He loves to anticipate problems. He checks and rechecks all of the details over and over before taking the first step in the plan of action. Solving problems is one of David's greatest joys. In business, David's bottom-line is dollars and cents. He is very resourceful with money and budgets. If given the right opportunity, he can stretch nickels and dimes into dollars by monitoring and planning the details of how money is acquired and spent. I highly recommend the work of David Kirk.”

Marcy Kelly is vice president, Sales and Marketing, for Wedgewood Pharmacy.

“While David Kirk has amazed us with his vast knowledge, creativity and skill in public relations, marketing and technology, he has absolutely shined in his ability to build a results-oriented public relations strategy and written copy that has become the voice of our company. This is particularly impressive due to the complex nature of our industry, which David was able to learn, understand and speak to as well as anyone here in a very short time. Whether you are in a crisis situation, or looking to breathe new life into your communication strategy, David Kirk will be worth every penny to your company.”

Philip Barnes is the social media manager at Wedgewood Pharmacy.

“David Kirk consistently provides insightful, strategic communication counsel. For each project assigned, he listens to my department's requirements, goals, objectives and then asks the right questions to produce high quality work -- delivered on time.”

Spiros Mantzavinos was manager, Communications, in the External Affairs Department of the Christiana Care Health System. 

“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.”

"I have known David Kirk as a reliable, talented and accredited public relations resource for nearly a decade. He has provided expert and insightful counsel to me and my colleagues on a variety of issues, from crisis communications and community relations campaigns to internal communications planning and writing. A quick study and ethical person, I would highly recommend his services to for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, regardless of the industry or situation."
