"CHEN PR played an integral role in driving a very successful company and product launch for Kubi Software. The agency was deeply involved in our positioning, messaging and planning, and took the lead in our proactive outreach to the media. The ongoing press and analyst coverage following our launch delivered significant sales leads for the company. In fact, we can track many of our customer wins back to those companies reading positive articles about Kubi and wanting to know more."

CHEN PR understands the value of forging strong, ethical editorial relationships; the need to be responsive; the importance of meeting deadlines; and respecting when a writer is on deadline. Unlike some PR practitioners who don't understand what their clients do, the folks at CHEN PR get it. They articulate their clients' stories as well as the clients."

– Rich Levin, Industry Editor, Writer, Journalist and Broadcaster

"I handed CHEN PR some very tough PR challenges when I brought them into my last two companies. Both were early-stage firms defining new architectures and products. Most recently, they helped me establish a brand in the crowded wireless industry, where some big competitors were already well-entrenched. The agency formulated and executed media strategies that were right on target. They assigned a seasoned team with complementary skills and contacts that drove significant coverage and put us in a strong industry position. Best of all: They took ownership in achieving our objectives and worked with us as a team."

It makes a big difference to work with a firm like CHEN PR as a contributing, valuable member of a strategic marketing team. CHEN PR is a thoroughly credible and professional liaison to the analyst and media communities, and I’ve heard only positive feedback from all who have worked with them."

"CHEN PR was instrumental in helping DataSage attract the attention of merger partners. In six months DataSage went from having virtually no visibility in the media to being covered in top industry publications read by potential partners, and to a highly successful merger with Vignette.

CHEN PR's people don't blitz me with irrelevant pitches; they know what might interest me and send me only that information.

When I want to follow up on information about their clients they're great at getting me access to the right people and products. I appreciate their professionalism, and I enjoy working with them."
