In Their
Own Words
The measure of a strategist is not what they say about themselves, but what those they serve say about them. These words come from industry leaders, legal professionals, and the families we have been privileged to support.
"She has an extraordinary ability to foresee issues before they arise, bringing clarity and solutions to even the most high-stakes and high-profile matters."
"I have had the privilege of working with AnnMarie for nearly two decades. I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most standout advisers in the global media, PR and privacy space. Since 2001 she has acted as a trusted advisor to Simon Cowell, his companies and artists and I have had the pleasure of working alongside AnnMarie in that respect since 2007."
"AnnMarie simply gets the industry. She is adept and utterly masterful at operating in high-pressure, complex situations where multiple stakeholders and jurisdictions are involved, being uniquely placed to deal with matters within the US and the UK, having a deep understanding of both markets and phenomenal networks built over decades at the top of the industry."
"She is a standout adviser and a ‘go to’ individual."
"Her ability to navigate high-stakes, cross-industry projects with ease and bring people together across entertainment, brands, and media is unmatched."
"I've had the privilege of working with AnnMarie for many years, and she consistently proves herself as a world-class PR strategist with rare creativity and global perspective. She is not only a brilliant deal-maker, connector and opportunity creator, but also someone who manages every client interaction with class, authenticity, and an elevated way of thinking."
"She brings exceptional energy, insight, unique strategy and professionalism to any team, and is truly a joy to collaborate with. She's also the first person you want in your phonebook in any crisis."
"AnnMarie came in and literally saved us. She was the voice of reason, experience and practicality we desperately needed."
"My family and I are beyond grateful to have AnnMarie in our lives. We are experts and professionals in our field and it is as far removed from a publicist's expertise as can be. When people we helped, trusted, mentored and welcomed into our family decided to launch a social media smear campaign against us, we were in a state of shock."
"We wanted to stay true to our values of integrity, transparency and keep the focus on our important work. We wanted to stay professional and not devolve into a graceless social media war. Having absolutely zero experience how to navigate social media in this type of cancel culture, or the public eye and people this mentally unstable, AnnMarie came in and literally saved us."
"She helped coach us through this time, provided us with the written statement we needed that reflected our values and yet did not feed the toxic hate monster. It gave our confused followers on the fence the reassurances they needed and we have been on a steady upward flow with that ugliness behind us."
"AnnMarie knew exactly how to handle everything and having someone on your side fighting for you when you feel beaten down, lost and hopeless is invaluable. We enthusiastically and emphatically recommend her to anyone. Her loyalty, expertise, fierceness, and authenticity knows no bounds."
"I'll be left with a sense of gratitude that will endure a lifetime."
"I didn't need a boost of profile, often the brief when enlisting the help of a publicist. My life had just been thrown into disarray as my children had just lost their Mum to cancer. I was in the middle of a nationwide X Factor tour and given the media coverage surrounding Jade's death, all eyes were on me."
"AnnMarie guided me through a time when I admittedly had switched on auto-pilot. I was in shock and the gravity of the situation had not yet settled. The tour was like a bubble and after a few days off I continued to work with both my boys in tow as they had been for 6 months prior as it felt like the safest most familiar place to be."
"Everything I did from that day onwards would play out very publicly. I had no ability to think of anything other than my children and what arena we were performing at that night so to have AnnMarie take care of us preempting every next step was invaluable."
"Without sparing her any blushes, AnnMarie is the very best at what she does."
Nigel Tait
"This is someone who almost devotes their life to you. They need to care, and she genuinely does. She is incredibly loyal, incredibly bright, and she will do anything to protect you."
Simon Cowell
"She's arguably the most broad-based PR person I've ever met. She's a combination of a publicist, a manager, and a psychologist."
L.A. Reid
"She's fantastic... she has a heart of gold and she's very, very good at what she does."
Alexandra Burke
"A very cool head and a winning smile — she commands the respect of newspaper editors and record company CEOs."
