Client Testimonials

Joseph DonahueDirector of Marketing Communications at EwingCole

I have worked with Rosemarie for more than five years. In this time, Rosemarie has displayed an art for writing that is both absolute and thoughtful. As an added benefit, her sense of humor and easy-going personality have been much appreciated.

Paul SteinkeExecutive Director, Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia

We have engaged Rosemarie for several years running to write the program book and script for our annual Preservation Achievement Awards event. Rosemarie is an excellent writer with a strong ability to write on architecture, planning and historic preservation topics. She is also responsive, punctual and reliable. I would recommend her for any similar writing engagement without hesitation.

Rose FetterSenior Marketing and Business Development Director at IMC Construction

I have known Rosemarie for many years, and what I appreciate the most is her lucidity to perceive the design and construction industry from a PR and communications perspective. She has this gift to extract complex thoughts and ideas into simple, clear language that’s quickly and easily understood by others.

Kimberly MillerDirector of Design, Drexel University

Rosemarie did a wonderful job of herding cats to create a wonderful article about one of our new facilities at Drexel. She was patient, respectful but still on point to get the most out of a variety of sources. The article was well crafted and well received.

Mimi Campbell LeitzelPrincipal at MCL Interiors LLC

Since I have worked with Rosemarie in the last year I have had magazine and newspaper articles published, met numerous local writers, committed to Linked in and Facebook as great resources, have four new clients and zero $$ on advertising. Thanks for the action and inspiration Rosemarie.

Dan WoffordStrategic Consultant, Bryn Mawr

I had the pleasure of working with Rosemarie over several years in my former capacity as a Senior Consultant to 10,000 Friends of PA. She assisted our leadership team in drafting the script and program book for the annual Commonwealth Awards for smart growth initiatives. Rosemarie was a joy to work with in every way. Dedicated, deadline-driven, collaborative, literate, insightful, with a great sense of humor: Each of the events on which we worked together were successful and immeasurably better because of her involvement. Simply said, she's a gem.

Stefa NormantasOwner, Philadelphia Furniture Show

Rosemarie is a genius. Smart, elegant with the pen and a pleasure to work with. She's persistent where needed, collaborative, and presents opportunities outside the scope of her work for the good of her clients. If you're reading this because you're thinking of hiring her...stop reading and hire her. She's a great asset to any project.

Voula LiacopulosCo-owner, Touching Hearts at Home

While I was Director of Business Development for Blackney Hayes Architects, my team and I hired Rosemarie to assist us with a media campaign that included press releases and articles targeted to specific publications. Rosemarie had a great network of contacts and was successful in having many articles published. She was professional, easy to work with, systematic and organized in her approach. Her work yielded great coverage and publicity for the firm.

Yogesh Saoji, AIA, AICP, PP, LEED AP BD+CPlanning & Urban Design Leader, DLR Group

Rosemarie has a unique ability and expertise to understand and translate the jargon filled language of architects and designers to make it easy to understand and communicate without losing its original intent. I admire her amazing patience and capacity to get things done within a very short time frame!

Christine HoughBusiness Development - LANGAN

I have hired Rosemarie to write project descriptions, web copy, articles and press releases. Each assignment is well-written, accurate and completed before its due date. I can't say enough about Rosemarie's work--she has done a great job for me and my company!
