“You and the team have taken our story at a difficult time of year, and you’ve been very creative as well as diligent in developing interest/angle for many different audiences!”

“You and your team totally rock, thank you so much!!!”

“Thanks to Paula Dunne for orchestrating this coverage! Another great gem. Thank you, you are incredible.”

“Most young companies would kill to get this sort of coverage…”

“I have really enjoyed working with the CONTOS DUNNE team. You guys are true pros and I’m not sure how we would have gotten this company off the ground without your help.”

“Being such an early startup and getting the kind of visibility that we have is extremely rare. I give CONTOS DUNNE props all the time when people ask who gets us all of our great PR!”

“Thought you guys would appreciate knowing that people at McAfee are shocked by the coverage and amount of interviews we were getting around [Secure Computing’s] threat data (Spam reports, quarterly reports). They are all very impressed. When I walked them through some of the programs that were successful, the feedback was …AMAZEMENT (ie: “wow, we don’t get this kind of coverage”; “how was your agency booking so many interviews” etc). Wanted to pass that on….”

“Thanks for your great work over the past two years. Secure Computing could not have done it without you! We appreciate all that you and the team have done for our business.”

“… The impact Paula and [team] are creating is fantastic!! … Well done!! Everyone is really impressed. Thank you for all your efforts!!”

“I am falling in love with you:) Thank you!”

“This surpasses my expectations by about 1000%!”

“Paula is an extremely competent PR executive. She has worked with me over the last 8+ years and I’ve always been amazed at her insight into the PR process, strategic guidance and press credibility. She was instrumental in getting us coverage across a broad spectrum of media, including broadcast TV (CNN, CNBC, NBC) and tech blogs such as TechCrunch and GigaOm. I would highly recommend Paula to any company looking to increase their press and PR footprint.”

“CDC helped Zscaler articulate a highly differentiated value proposition and grab influencer and market attention in strategic and creative ways; and as a newcomer to a mature market and with a new approach to evangelize as well, Zscaler was able to compete effectively with major (and public) companies such as Websense and Blue Coat. The firm worked under a tight budget, and continued to generate results even during periods of little/no interaction with the company or marketing (as the company focused on other challenges or changes) and months of no news or internal program to leverage.”

“In the years CDC represented Zscaler, the company: (1) went from a languishing public profile, known by few and averaging only ~1-2 articles per month, to a vital, active industry player and authority leader in cloud security, covered regularly by Tier One security and technology trade, blog and business influencers, and averaging at least one broadcast appearance per month; (2) zoomed from zero to “Leader” (and “most visionary”) in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant in under 2 years; and (3) began signing 7-figure deals early for a young company.”

“Talk can be cheap when PR firms are trying to win your business, but CDC was continually laser-focused on generating outstanding results and exposure for Zscaler.”
