Charlotte understands the urgency and visual aspects of creating a segment for TV. I know I can count on her to provide me with all the details in a timely manner.

Denise Naughton
Producer for ABC 15’s Sonoran Living

"I contacted Charlotte at The Media Push to help me promote my practice. She analyzed my office and using her past experience she knew what particular aspect of my practice was best for promoting. She wrote up a press release and was contacted by Sonoran Living-ABC 15 to do a spot on their show. Immediately after I finished the segment my assistant was in the office and stated "the phones were going crazy!" With her help we did a 25% increase in business within a week! Thanks Charlotte for your help! You are Great!"

Dr. Brian Elwartowski of Northside Chiropractics

"Charlotte has increased the name recognition of my business tremendously in such a short time. Being a small, start-up business, it is difficult to get noticed. She has gotten me on several TV shows, magazines and newspapers. She has given me ideas on how to leverage the relationships I already have to increase my business. Charlotte knows the right local people to help me move my business forward. She also had me re-look at the services I was providing. While I considered them ordinary….she pointed out that they were special. We used that insight to choose what others would consider special, and market them accordingly. She also pointed out that I was giving things away that are truly marketable products and services and helped me look more closely at potential revenue sources."

Judy Toth, Simply Impressive Cooking School, Mesa , AZ.

"The results we have gotten from Charlotte's efforts have been phenomenal. We had more exposure after working with Charlotte for 6 weeks than we had in our first 2 years in business. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to grow their business!"

Margo Zelenski, Owner, The Massage Studio on FLW

"Charlotte, thank you so much for everything you have done for P.I.D. With your help the company received the publicity and coverage that only you could have gotten us because of your connections with the local TV stations. And the best part was getting the TV coverage for FREE! Thank again. We could not have increased our clientele without you."

Cynthia Diehl, Owner, Personal Image Development

"We opened our second Famous Dave’s in the Valley last September at 83rd and Bell in Peoria. Charlotte Risch led our pre and post-opening media and public relations strategy for Peoria’s opening. She was very effective and efficient in facilitating newspaper and TV coverage for the opening and insuring that all the details, which are so vital to opening a restaurant, were covered and nothing was left to chance."

John Erlandson, Famous Dave’s Legendary Pit Bar-B-Que

"Charlotte Risch was a joy to work with at ABC-15. As a promotions writer, she knows how to sell the product without distorting the truth. She does this by always asking relevant questions before putting pen to paper."

Holliday Moore, Political News Reporter

"In television news we receive more than 200 faxes or news releases each day. It's difficult to choose until you get a creative press release from Charlotte Risch. Having worked in television, she knows exactly how to communicate with reporters, producers and assignment managers. She knows what our interests are and what's visual and what's not. We appreciate that. I appreciate that. We always know exactly what we're walking into to. It's also a pleasure to work with Charlotte because she's great at following up and making sure we have exactly what we need. Having someone like Charlotte to count on makes my job a little easier."
