“The most successful media and public relations campaign for any new public hospital in the State”.Queensland Minister of Health’s Office –Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
“The ‘Champions For Kids’ Benefit was an innovative approach, not tried before by The Salvation Army. We asked companies and individuals to contribute from $1,000 to $25,000, to sponsor the event. This was viewed as somewhat of a gamble in this slow economy and in the relatively small community of Portland (vs. Boston, for instance). It worked! We raised over $100,000 which was more than the two events, an auction and a civic breakfast held last year, brought in combined!”William P. Bennett, Advisory Board Member, The Salvation Army and former President, Oakhurst Dairy – Portland, Maine, USA
“Just where do you go when you are a small NGO trying to help the desperately poor in Central America and you have little to nothing in the way of corporate identity? We found VPR and asked if they would help create an identity from the ground up, cope with a very involved and opinionated group of volunteers and launch into the challenge of creating a comprehensive organizational new identity from scratch. They were savvy in all areas and applied it in all aspects of our identity journey. All was very professionally done and delivered within budget. VPR packs a lot of talent, spread over years of broad experience.”William Casey, Global Health Administration Partners and Former Board Chair, Grace the Americas - North Carolina, USA
“They are detail oriented, extremely warm and caring about the needs of their client.

“The work of VPR enabled the YMCA to expand our reach into the community through successful PR strategies. VPR worked with us to identify the needs, explore the opportunities, and implement the plan. As a result, the cause of the YMCA was better known in our community. They bring the experience, persistence and tenacity that is needed to get the attention of various media outlets, build relationships, and take advantage of opportunities.”Helen L. Brena, Chief Executive Officer, YMCA of Southern Maine – Portland, Maine, USA

“The multi-media campaign entitled ‘Go On Say Yes’ was directed at increasing the rate of organ donation by increasing the rate of signature for consent on the New South Wales driver’s license. The campaign was measured by the driver’s license signing rate and demonstrated a rise of 33% over the period of the campaign. To achieve success in this area is a major achievement.”Dr. Jeremy Chapman, Australian Blood Services – Sydney, Australia
