Recognizing the need to add a strong public relations component of our marketing, we selected Rhino PR with high expectations. Susan Shelby and her team quickly exceeded those expectations, providing responsive and pro-active service on s o many fronts. As a result, HMFH’s exposure and visibility have increased at exactly the time when every advantage is important to marketing in a down economy. Rhino PR is a great example of a smart investment for a competitive firm like HMFH Architects.

Susan is an expert at developing and nurturing relationships. A natural networker, Susan knows how to connect clients with valuable business opportunities. As a reporter who worked with Susan on many occasions over several years, I especially appreciated her soft-sell manner and ability to deliver on a promised story or contact.

Our PR has helped our firm immeasurably. I mean immeasurably, in that we cannot measure it. But I have no doubt as to its value. We are now one of the best known architecture firms in Boston, and it is much easier to introduce the firm to potential clients because they have heard of us. We re-purpose our PR broadly, and are consequently often considered experts in our defined field.

Clients interested in geotechnical, environmental, water resources and ecological science and engineering seek out strong, credentialed, and trusted suppliers. Rhino PR's public relations expertise helps convey our messages - and heightens GEI's visibility - in key New England and national markets. We continue to win new work during this deep recession, and are well positioned for growth in 2010.

I am happy to say that MPA was Rhino PR’s first client. Working on the board of SMPS with Susan Shelby, I was very familiar with her knowledge of our industry, her knack for the details, and her uncanny ability to work a crowd. When Susan began Rhino PR, we jumped at the opportunity to work with her. Five years later, her one-woman show has turned into a team of PR experts who continue to help MPA on a daily basis. They maintain countless opportunities of which we would easily lose track, motivate our employees to write articles, provide input on our marketing and BD strategies, and jump quickly at every request. Rhino PR is a friendly, outgoing bunch who help keep us in the spotlight; we’d be lost without them.

When the opportunity came across my desk to express my sentiments about our Public Relations expert, I had to remind myself that Susan Shelby from Rhino Public Relations was actually a consultant and not an employee. We have worked with Susan since our founding and in that time she has become an integral part of our team. Being a start–up we needed help with everything from our web site to our RFP proposals, from project profiles to getting published. She has become an indispensable advisor for our management team.

Susan has been Payette’s PR consultant since 2006 and has really got our firm excited about PR. In addition to dramatically increasing our press coverage, she has encouraged our staff to present at conferences and helped us strategically think about PR. Her enthusiasm and dedication have really jump-started our PR program.

We wanted to raise our visibility and promote our project and relocation management services. Rhino PR achieved immediate results for us. We consider Susan a member of our team and often forget that she's a consultant and not a Fort Point Project Management employee.

Susan has been involved with the Building Materials Resource Center on a pro bono basis. She is very creative and forward-thinking, and has helped us shape a public relations strategy that works toward maximizing our visibility with key audiences. We have seen a steady increase in awareness among the construction and architecture communities—important audiences for the Building Materials Resource Center, which relies on donations of building materials and, in particular, on donors who can give materials to us time and time again. I am thankful to enjoy the benefits of Susan’s insight, ideas, and consistent follow-through.

GEI Consultants has been working with Susan Shelby of Rhino PR since February 2006 and I don't know how we managed without her. She is extremely organized and has everything ready for us to discuss and/or review at our weekly meeting so that we stay on track with our proposed PR program. In the five months we've been working together, she has raised our visibility and become someone we rely on for advice and counsel.

We hired Rhino PR in 2009 to help us launch a book called Security Design for Sustainable Buildings and Campuses. We had a successful launch with over 61,000 books being distributed to our target audience. We owe that success and much more to the Rhino PR Team. Their professionalism, ability to listen to and understand our needs, and their tenacity helped ARM reach a very large audience in a short period of time. In four months time, I was quoted in six separate national articles as a security expert and I also spoke at a multitude of events in the Boston area. Rhino PR helped us get the right message out to the right people and we continue to reap the benefits of their work.
