“I dealt with Samantha when I was writing my columns and reviews on technology for The Globe and Mail, and was always happy when she called. A true professional, she is totally at ease when dealing with the press. From the first time we talked it was like I was with an old friend. She was often quick with her answers, and when she didn’t have an answer, she made me feel like she would get one to satisfy her own curiosity, not mine. And it always seemed that whatever product or service she was representing, she made me feel I would naturally be genuinely interested in it. How would I describe her professional attitude? In a word, comfortable. It’s a rare quality.”

“Samantha was the Account Manager at APEX PR for RSA and did a great job. She was easy to work with -- enthusiastic, pragmatic and had great ideas. She provided great counsel and delivered consistent results across various PR campaigns. Samantha was able to leverage her relationships with editors and reporters across trade and mainstream media to secure coverage that we wouldn't have otherwise gotten. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Sam again and hope to work with her again!”
