"JSClark was approaching its 50th year anniversary when we hired Pam Cook to assist with planning a few related activities. We ended up with much more than we expected! Pam became an extension of our staff and took ownership of a plan the we created together. Without her experience, contacts in the media and her planning skills, we would not have developed a successful strategy and our money would have been wasted. With her leadership, our investment has paid off handsomely. From media training for our executives all the way thru redesigning our logo, we depended on Pam to guide us, which she did with energy, professionalism and always with a sense of humor. I would recommend Pam without reservation.."

"In this day of cookie-cutter, quick fix approaches to marketing and public relations, Pam Cook tailors campaigns and coverage to meet specific needs. The work Pam did for the opening of our new surgical wing was outstanding and right on target. She arranged for a TV News anchor to be our emcee, and she facilitated comprehensive coverage from radio, television, and newspaper reporters, many of whom had to drive over an hour just to reach our hospital. Working with Pam helped us have a successful event, and we look forward to working with her again."

"It takes courage to place your trust in the hands of someone other than yourself to put together a first-class media event at the highest level. But that is exactly what I asked of Pam Cook - to create visibility and goodwill around the presentation of a $250,000 gift to the local Girls Scouts chapter in the Triad from BB&T Corporation.
The gift was made in honor of retiring BB&T Chairman and CEO John A. Allison and his wife, Betty Allison, who has played a major leadership role in the Girl Scouts through the years. Pam delivered on every promise. She has a unique relationship with news organizations in the Triad, particularly with television producers and reporters. Every major news station in the Triad covered the event. Pam even made arrangements to provide stories and photographs to the smaller newspapers unable to attend.
More than 75 attended, including a state senator and house representative. I've been in the news business and dealt with reporters most of my life. Normally soft news has little appeal. I learned from working with Pam that you can generate publicity on a large scale no matter the subject. In the end, it's about relationships."
