We have recently renewed our annual contract with LFPR and are very pleased with all the social media and design work they undertake on our behalf. I really love the way they conduct our meetings – prepare an agenda in advance, take care of business, get to the point and you stay on track and then provide a succinct meeting report to confirm actions shortly after. I highly recommend working with LFPR whatever your marketing needs.

LFPR has been instrumental in fully handling our Savannah and National PR agendas. It is such a relief to have a full team of amazing professionals on call to handle all press, press releases, uncomfortable press situations and make sure our organization's name remains positive and constantly exposed. I would not be able to do my job effectively without the LFPR team!

Manager of Marketing and PR, Telfair Museums
This is the second time our team at the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation has worked with Lesley Francis and her staff. There's a reason we are a returning client! Their team supported the Grand Reopening of the Ocean Discovery Center and Earth is Blue Block party, a community-wide event on 2/28/26. With their support, we secured a large turnout, a ribbon cutting celebration with the city, additional sponsors, media spotlights, news interviews and press coverage. Our event would not have nearly had this level of success and seamless operation if we had not worked with Lesley and her dedicated colleagues.

Chapter Director, Gray's Reef
LFPR’s design services are always of the highest quality, and their collaborative approach and timely responses are second to none. Coastal Heritage Society’s recent annual impact report has been very positively received by our donor base and members and its design and clear communication of important data has played an important part in our fundraising and awareness efforts. I do not hesitate to recommend LFPR.
Nora Fleming Lee

Lesley Francis PR has been an excellent partner since we first started working with them several years ago. They provide high quality deliverables that make meaningful impact. Their responsiveness is always appreciated and helpful for very small departments working on tight timelines. We are moving forward with a different scope for our marketing at this point in time, but I definitely recommend them for small or large projects or more long-term communications. Any organization will be pleased with their talented and dedicated team.

"Moving a company across the country to rebrand and essentially start over was daunting to say the least. But from the moment we sat down with Lesley and the LFPR team, we breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we had neither the time nor the know-how to market our new-to-Savannah company and get audience in the doors for our inaugural production. So, knowing we had a marketing team behind us was absolutely crucial. More than that, knowing we had a team the really took the time to get to know and understand us, who we are as a company, our short and long term goals, our aesthetic- all of it- knowing we had a team that really 'got' us was a major load off of our shoulders and freed us up to do all the other work that needed to be done. Their constant and excellent communication was beyond helpful and their ideas, insights, and knowledge of the community were things we simply couldn’t have done without. I’m thrilled to have built a relationship with this wonderful team of bright, talented, kind, and dedicated folks. Getting LFPR in our corner was the smartest move of our rebrand and I breathe easier moving forward knowing our relationship will continue!"

"I have worked with the LFPR team for several years and quite simply I could not imagine doing all that my role involves without their services and support. They work in partnership with us and provide design, social media, digital, website, strategic marketing and more. Contracting with LFPR is like having an exceptional marketing team for my organization. They are always available to respond to our needs in a timely manner and I highly recommend them.”
"We needed a marketing company which could understand our needs as we set up JoCo as a new organization to serve our rural communities. I am delighted with the results of the marketing program which began with generating our imagery and copy for new digital and printed collateral. LFPR’s expertise in building our online presence including setting up and managing impactful social media accounts has been just what we needed to launch awareness of the work we are doing in Johnson County."
Kristie Brantley

Thanks, Lesley, and your fantastic team at LFPR. The 2025 Mary's Place (MP) Lip Sync Competition/Gala was another excellent event in MP's history book. We are so grateful to you all.
Doris L. Williams
Mary’s Place Executive Director
“As we establish Moon River Pool Care, I knew I needed marketing activity to promote our services, target new customers, and tell our story. I, however, am not a marketer and with the ever changing landscape of social media and PR I needed help in launching and sustaining an effective program. I knew after my first meeting with LFPR that they understood, my unique challenges. They already had a track record of success, and helped me shape a tailored and cohesive program within my budget. Since working with LFPR I have seen a measurable Return On Investment. The advice and support provided by the team as we implemented and evaluated a range of marketing initiatives have been invaluable to our growth and success.”
Ion Bratianu
Founder and CEO of Moon River Pool Care
We want to send some love to the team at Lesley Francis PR. They designed our logo, and we could not be more in love. They captured our mission with a simple and elegant icon: A larger figure is gives, and a smaller figure reaches up to receive, all
within the context of music. Thank you for such a simple yet powerful image!
Rebecca Flaherty
Artistic Director - SING: Savannah Inspiring the Next Generation
"Thank you to the team at LFPR for the amazing support and job they are all doing. I’m so happy I chose to work with LFPR, and I am getting lots of compliments on our new website and leaflets.”
“Working alongside LFPR was effortless. Their marketing team elevated our website, creating a whole new experience for our visitors. Throughout the project, the team collaborated with us to ensure the best design and layout for our target audience. LFPR provided transparency and professionalism at every step. They organized and transformed the site into a visually stunning and streamlined platform. With updated technology, our website now features enhanced functionality. For anyone seeking a website revamp, we recommend LFPR with total confidence.”
“What do you say when the words to describe the experience of working with LFPR do not do it justice? Holistic? Efficient? Responsive? Intuitive? Pleasant? Engaging? Well, I would use any of those words and many more to describe the experience working with Lesley and her team. The City has been extremely pleased with the client-focused approach, well-developed viewpoints on a wealth of projects and bringing not just an A game, but THE GAME when working with us as their Client. Save yourself the time and go right to the best: LFPR.”
“I recommend the LFPR marketing team! They understood our program and helped us reach our target audience. They took the time to listen to our goals and developed a customized plan tailored to our needs. The design and layout of our website are incredibly professional and polished! Their team was very responsive and willing to go the extra mile to ensure our success. I am impressed with their creativity and skills.
Working with them was a game-changer for our program. We highly recommend them to any business looking to take their marketing to the next level."
"LFPR handles both Convention Consultants and Official Guides of Savannah’s PR and Marketing. We have been a client of Lesley’s since 2021 and her team has done an outstanding job for us. One of LFPR’s niche is to help non-profits and museums with their PR needs. As you know, non-profits and museums can be difficult for PR agencies to navigate but let me assure you that Lesley’s team will go above and beyond to help you get your message out to not only the local community but also can help you with a regional or national reach."
"LFPR's support and partnership for the grand opening of the Telfair Children's Art Museum was impactful and precise. We presented an idea and the LFPR team brought our vision to life with professionalism and an effective strategy. Among their many strengths, LFPR's client communication is highly impressive and proven trustworthy."
Bri Salley
Director of Marketing & Communications - Telfair Museums
“Pedrick & Company selected LFPR to build a new website to reflect what makes our company’s CPA services and team members stand out. We are delighted with the result. LFPR provided total website management including drafting copy, new photography, videography and more. They kept us informed every step of the way and met our timelines. Every team member was professional and responsive. We highly recommend their services.”
"The team at LFPR did an amazing job organizing and promoting the inaugural Lip Sync Competition for Mary's Place. Truly, they all do a great job at supporting The Coastal Empire’s business and non-profit community!"
"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."
"LFPR is a great group of marketing professionals. Deadlines are met, any changes requested are made quickly, and the quality of work is excellent. When I spoke with one of our vendors they interacted with, they said they had no questions or needed anything. LFPR quickly takes care of tasks. They are the right team to organize and promote Mary’s Place inaugural Lip-Sync gala and we are proud to be in partnership with Lesley Francis PR."
“It’s wonderful when you contract a marketing agency like LFPR and then you get much more than what you thought you were paying for. At every turn, every time we have a chance to interface with the LFPR team, we get much more than what we asked for, or what we expected, which is highly unusual in today’s environment. I had actually fired two previous marketing agencies over the last two years because they overpromised and way underdelivered. So LFPR has been a completely different experience for us: when we ask for help with our rebranding, our social media campaigns, engagement and media relations, every time we interface with the LFPR team we are pleasantly surprised with the highest quality work that’s done on time and at much better than expected levels. The BlueDragon team has been been pleasantly surprised at every turn and I couldn’t endorse or recommend LFPR any higher.”
"LFPR exceeded all our expectations. We had a very limited timeline to make a big impact for the ribbon cutting of the new Gray’s Reef Ocean Discovery Center in Savannah, GA. LFPR leveraged their extensive contacts and experience to garner broad media coverage and attendance of the ribbon-cutting event. They also designed impactful graphics for event materials as well as the Ocean Discovery Center itself. LFPR was an invaluable asset for this event, also setting us up for future success.”
"Working with Lesley Francis PR (LFPR) is equivalent to having a full marketing team at your disposal. They understand Savannah Classical Academy’s opportunities and challenges, and Lesley and her team took the time to learn about the education sector when they began working with us in 2018. Their services to SCA include issues management, event organization, to generating positive coverage via the media, effective social media programs, website and online marketing expertise and complex advertising campaigns - incorporating filming, design, and coordination of a diverse media. Their strategic input, commitment and responsiveness – in and outside office hours – is exceptional. With different skills and expertise within LFPR their efforts really enhance our profile and they are a valued part of the SCA team. I do not hesitate to recommend their services.”
“I have worked with LFPR in a variety of roles over the years and when the time came for a cohesive marketing program to support the return of the Savannah Challenger in 2022, they were the perfect choice. This premiere professional tennis event, which takes place on Skidaway Island, needed a new logo, new website and new printed collateral. We are over the moon with how brilliant everything looks and how user friendly our new website is. Thank you LFPR for your hard work, creative, functionality genius and your thoughtful, artistic vision.”
"Lesley Francis PR is a vital part of our Savannah VOICE Festival team. Quite simply, we would not be here without their commitment and amazing levels of media coverage achieved since we launched the festival in 2013. They are energetic and committed PR Professionals who always go above and beyond to help achieve success in media coverage. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anybody who wants an experienced and exceptional public relations agency."
"Lesley Francis and her team at LFPR offer superior public relations services. From copywriting to media placement to creative services - they excel at all of it. Every member of the team really listens to their clients and respond to their needs, provide constant and consistent updates and feedback, and execute on time. They truly love Savannah and the business and organizations they serve."
"We have worked with LFPR since 2014 and they really are part of our team. They bring their marketing expertise to promoting church events, issues and challenges - such as when we pivoted to virtual worship during the COVID-19 pandemic. Asbury Memorial and what we stand for and do has a very high profile in Savannah and working with LFPR is one of the main reasons we often enjoy extensive media coverage."
"I had heard great things about the team at Lesley Francis Public Relations and we have not been disappointed. Their media knowledge and contacts have generated incredible levels of media coverage for The Salvation Army in Savannah. Feedback from our sponsors and the wider community has been very positive and they are a vital part of our marketing team. It really is like having a full marketing team to rely on. From strategy and issues management, to generating targeted and high-quality media coverage, impressive social media programs, and working alongside us at events and more, they never fail to deliver. The whole team is amazing to work with and I highly recommend their services.”
We love our new website! Great work, site visitors are going to love it and I'm sure it will help us generate more $ in the future. It's a million dollar website! We can't thank you enough!

"At Spirit of Peace Lutheran Church, we connected with LFPR in September 2020, and I am so glad that we did! The staff has been friendly, responsive, and creative in helping us to publicize our events to the larger community AND helping us build new partnerships with other organizations in the community. We are a small church. Many churches may feel like they are “too small to afford a PR firm,” but after working with Lesley Francis, I say that any church that wants to reach the community can’t afford NOT to call LFPR!"
Rev. Dr. Devin Strong
Pastor - Spirit of Peace Lutheran Church
“Lesley Francis and her team at LFPR have provided exemplary service for Bryan County since 2017.

We recognize that Lesley Francis Public Relations has been instrumental in drastically improving Bryan County’s communication with its residents at a crucial time in the county’s growth and thank them for all they have done for staff and their service to the citizens of Bryan County.”

LFPR is always professional, proactive and ready with a plan. For every circumstance, they have a solution ready. We cannot recommend their services enough!"
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.

"When Asbury Memorial Church made the decision to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church in 2020, in support of LGBTQ rights, we were thankful to have the expertise of Lesley Francis Public Relations (LFPR) on our team. We believe that we were the first church in the USA to leave the United Methodist denomination due to its unequal treatment of LGBTQ people, and making sure that we explained our position carefully and developed a strategic communications campaign was vital. Lesley Francis and her team of marketing professionals managed a very successful PR campaign and Asbury Memorial enjoyed media coverage on a national scale – from coast to coast and north to south. We were delighted with the success of this campaign."

With her assistance I have been able to raise the profile of my diving for prehistoric fossilized shark teeth through a series of magazine and newspaper articles. I would recommend her services to anybody who wants an experienced and knowledgeable PR professional.”
"I would give you top stars for your PR for the VOICE Festival. The article in the DO section of the SMN about the June 4 concert at the Davenport House was excellent and I think it resulted in our selling out both performances. I also saw the info again in the SMN on another day. Working with LFPR has been wonderfully collaborative and your support for all of the VOICE programming is highly valued."

"I highly recommend Lesley and would engage her services again. Lesley and I worked together for over 10 years as I developed my career as a healthcare technology executive. Lesley’s deep and wide understanding of the power of medical communications and the impact of developing clinical key opinion leaders resulted directly in accelerated sales growth and rapid market penetration across multiple technologies, including an innovative infection control urology product, in-vitro fertilization products, and high-tech cryotherapy products for the treatment of prostate and kidney cancer. Lesley’s insight and PR leadership enabled several of the smaller enterprises to punch well above their weight in very competitive and highly regulated marketplaces. Additionally, Lesley’s attention to detail, professional approach, winning manner, and relentless focus on first-class customer service ensured my respective businesses successfully delivered high impact PR campaigns."
