TESTIMONIALS

"We worked with LFPR in 2022 around our visitor center ribbon cutting and Soiree events. We had a short period of time to prepare for these co-sponsored events which included a public presentation, open house, and a VIP reception. LFPR was contracted to support the event management, PR and outreach, along with fulfilling a separate contract for graphics support. I appreciate the expertise they offer in-house to service all of this work. They did a wonderful job with the event planning details, providing vendor service solutions and custom creating content for our platforms. The PR and media response was wonderful and they projected our news far and wide. Lastly, the graphics created for our programs, flyers, posters, swag and the incredible art on our storefront windows attest to the skill and creative eye of LFPR staff. Overall, they did a great job and I recommend their services."

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

I've worked with Lesley Francis PR at two different organizations now, and both have expanded their reach, prestige, and fund-raising thanks to LFPR's efforts. Although Savannah based, they are perfectly capable of working on regional and national campaigns. I've also admired her esprit de corps and willingness to trust and advance her staff.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

The Lesley Francis Public Relations team has been a valuable asset to the Bryan County Opioid Prevention Project. Lesley and her team have extensive knowledge and experience in working with non-profit organizations. They continuously research to stay up-to-date on the opioid epidemic in order to promote our goals and strategies in preventing opioid abuse in Bryan County. LFPR allowed me to make connections in the community that would have been impossible on my own. Their client communication surpasses all expectations. If I needed anything, I knew an email or call would be answered almost immediately. Lesley’s team has excitement and passion in what they do. I always look forward to my monthly planning meetings with them. They truly became an invested member of my organization.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

The past two years have been challenging for everybody, but especially for those in the hospitality industry. Since both of our businesses depend on visitors to Savannah, we used this time to evaluate how we wanted to promote our long established companies. We knew we needed some guidance with our social media platforms and raising our profile through traditional media. Contracting with Lesley Francis Public Relations was one of the best decisions we made. We would recommend their services to any business owner looking for some marketing expertise.
