Customer Testimonials
Apex Facility Resources
Shiftpoint Strategies has become a valued partner in our marketing communications program. Previously, Apex Facility Resources had not used formal public relations and media relations tactics, so we were pleasantly surprised with the results and found these tactics to be very cost-effective. A full-page article with color photo in the Puget Sound Business Journal has made a significant, positive impact on our business-to-business brand building efforts. This article has provided us the key to open a dialogue and makes available to us opportunities to engage with major new clients.
We had positioned our company for growth, but we were running below the radar of the broader business community. The feature article, along with a series of published bylined articles, has brought Apex Facility Resources into main stream awareness throughout the Puget Sound Region. National media attention has also resulted. We couldn't be more pleased.

My relationship with Dennis over the past two years has had a definite positive impact on my business. When I met Dennis and agreed to partner with him to expand my new business, we established a goal of having "my story" published in one local publication. Not only did Dennis develop and distribute press releases to local contacts, he created the buzz about the uniqueness of my business and got us published in two well-read publications all within a three-month period! The articles came out in the Puget Sound Business Journal and The Seattle Times and we immediately saw an increase in business. We have seen the articles being referenced months after they appeared and the exposure it created is priceless for the growth of my business.
Dennis' networking savvy, determination to get the story published, and caring about my business is demonstrated in every conversation. He is an integral part of my team and I look forward to partnering with him on our next PR strategy!

Zypes Fluid Networks
Zypes has made tremendous progress over the last year and become much more competitive in the Pacific Northwest IT Service & Support industry. We have devoted a significant amount of time and energy to optimize operational processes, improve effectiveness of systems and increase our profitability. 2005 will be a benchmark year for Zypes Fluid Networks.
Mid-2004 Zypes set out to create better Zypes brand awareness, educate a larger business audience on the value of IT Service & Support and increase the number of customers calling. Shiftpoint Strategies became our answer. It was immediately clear to me that Shiftpoint Strategies was focused on our goals and, in fact, helped shape a few of them in terms of how to approach sharing our story, knowledge and expertise.
We were looking for someone who could deliver. Shiftpoint Strategies delivered and has become part of our team. Zypes recognizes Shiftpoint Strategies as a valuable resource and we highly recommend utilizing their services.
Sincerely,
Tony L. Lael

Wow, what a difference in our business! Our innovative startup business went from unknown to being on the map. Shiftpoint put us on the road to success.

Bizop — Advertising Great Ideas
I'm writing to thank you for the wonderful job you did in handling the media relations for our client, Mark Topping's Chrysler Jeep Dodge in Enumclaw. Your efforts resulted in multiple stories in the print media including a major story and color picture on the front page of the Seattle Times sports section and the lead story on the front page of the King County Journal. In addition, local area television and radio stations covered the story. The media coverage helped us attract over one thousand people to our event.
Most importantly my client was very pleased with the results. You can rest assured we will continue to use Shiftpoint for future public and media relations projects.
Sincerest regards,

Athletic Awards
Through a business profile story placed in the Puget Sound Business Journal, our business-to-business market place has expanded. Now business decision makers know we are much more than a trophy storeŠwe are also a source for corporate recognition awards and promotional merchandise. This media exposure has broadened our brand and name recognition. This all resulted from a public and media relations initiative suggested and implemented by Dennis Noland at Shiftpoint Strategies. We have found real value in adding a public relations element to our marketing communications efforts and will continue to use Shiftpoint Strategies in this capacity.

I cannot say enough about your skill and expertise in these matters, and please, should any prospective clients need a reference on your work, ask them to call me personally.
Yours truly,
